  The present study was conducted to predict genotypic variability, phenotypic variability, heritability, and genetic advance on pod and seed-related traits in cultivated peanut RIL population. Genetic variability is an important prerequisite for selection using certain genetic parameters viz: genotypic variation, heritability and genetic advance. The trait pod length, number of pods per plant, pod weight per plant, multi-seedpods per plant had high genotypic coefficient of variation. The highest narrow sense heritability was recorded in seed length, pod length by width, and pod thickness traits, meanwhile, seed length, seed length by width, number of pods per plant, shelling percentage, pod thickness, thickness of pod shells, seed weight per plant, seed thickness, seed width, multiple seedpods per plant, and pod weight per plant traits had high broad sense heritability.
