Determination of some quality and production characteristics of peanut with different market types (Arachis hypogaea L.) in second crop culture in the eastern Mediterranean passage zone

Abstract

This study was carried out in Osmaniye location of Oil Seed Research Institute in 2020-2021 in order to determine some yield and quality characteristics in second crop cultivation of peanuts with different market types in the Eastern Mediterranean transition zone. Eleven different genotypes of Runner (Georgia Green) Virginia (NC 7, Masal, Halisbey, Wilson, Çom, Brantley, Sultan, Düziçi 1) Spanish (Florispan, Nigeria 1) types of peanut were used in the study. In the study, number of pods per plant, 1st quality pod ratio, pod weight per plant, 100 pod and seed weight, shelling percentage, pod yield, oil content and, protein content parameters were investigated. The number of pods per plant is between 20.8 (Nigeria 1) and 51.4 (Düziçi 1); pod weight per plant varied between between 12.3 g (Nigeria-1) and 64.9 g (Halisbey). It was determined that 100 pod weight and 100 seed weights varied between 66.8-289.0 g and 29.6-106.5 g, respectively. Pod yield varied between 1963 kg ha-1 (Nigeria 1) and 4846 kg ha-1 (Düziçi 1). As a result, it was determined that Düziçi 1 genotype, Brantley and Halisbey cultivars came to the fore in terms of the investigated characteristics in the Eastern Mediterranean Passage zone. In the study, while the second crop peanut variety suitable for the Eastern Mediterranean Transition zone was determined, the varieties to be used as breeding material were also determined.
