A positive significant relationship was observed between the total number of flowers produced during the first two weeks after commencement of flowering and pod yield. Studies on the number of potential mature pods produced on the 70 days indicated that in bunch types of groundnut this parameter is determined 5 to 6 weeks after the commencement of flowering. Genotypes having the highest number of developing pods on the 70th day were those which also produced the highest number of flowers during the first two weeks after commencement of flowering. Genotypes which showed greater synchrony in flowering during the earlier phase of reproductive growth also showed higher pod yields
