    abstract = {Genetic variation is a tool improving yield,
wider adaptation, selection of parents for hybridization,
desirable quality, pest and disease resistance. This study
was planned to investigate Phenotypic diversity of
groundnut genotypes based on cluster analysis. The crop
was sown during 2015 growing season in Ethiopia.The
result of cluster analysis based on average linkage of 16
groundnut genotypes assessed for 12 agromorphological
traits was shown that Baha Jidu, Shulamith, Oldhale
(local variety) and Baha gudo genotypes were found to be
divergent while the most similar genotypes were NC-343
and Roba belonging to cluster I; followed by Tole-1 and
Tole-2 (cluster 2), Fetene and Werer 961(cluster7).The
cluster mean analysis, for agromorphological traits has
shown that genotypes in clusters 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 & 10
including NC-343, Roba, Manipeter, Werer-962, Tole-1,
Tole-2, Behajidu, shulamith, Fetene, Werer-961 and Beha
gudo can be used as parents in hybridization program for
grain yield improvement.}
