In 27 local varieties of bambara groundnut, there was some association between the number of days from sowing to germination, earliness, internode length, petiole length, number of stems per plant, terminal leaf area, shell thickness, number of pods per plant,number of seeds per pod, seed size, and yield of seeds per plant. Fifty-five coefficients show the degree of correlation between 11 agronomic characters. Yield was highly significantly and positively correlated with days to first germination and maturity, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100 seeds weight,and negatively correlated with the other characters. Although yield is highly correlated with all 10 characters, earliness in germination and maturity, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of stems per plant and
