Abstract: The present investigation was conducted during summer 2018, to study the genetic divergence for different traits among F5 progenies of eight crosses of groundnut. The investigation was conducted with compact family block design with two replication at All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Groundnut, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar (M.S.). Total forty genotypes were grouped in seven clusters. Cluster I with 12 genotypes emerged as the largest cluster followed by cluster V with 10 genotypes and cluster II and IV with 6 genotypes, cluster VI with 4 genotypes. Remaining two clusters (III and VII) were monogenotypic. Cluster V exhibited maximum intra cluster distance i.e. (D=14.37), followed by cluster VI, cluster I, cluster II and cluster IV. Being monogenotypic, remaining clusters showed no intra cluster distance. Maximum inter cluster distance was found between cluster II and V, followed by V and VII and IV and VI
