Twenty five groundnut genotypes were collected from National Oilseed Research Program (NORP), Nawalpur, Sarlahi, Nepal along with local checks (B -4, Jyoti and Jayanti) were used to study their genetic variability of pod yield, oil and protein content. The study helps to expand the options of variety for pod yield, oil and protein content as per farmers need. Significant variations were observed for all the characters in all the genotypes used in the experiment.

Abstract: In Nepal, water is often associated with disaster of landslides and floods destroy farms, even entire village, displacing hundreds of people from their place of origin. In recent times, districts of Nepal have shown signs of vulnerability to environmental stress, particularly drought related stress. The spring of the hill's local water sources are drying up rapidly, while in the Terai ground water is depleting.
