The Determination of New Peanut Varieties for Osmaniye Region and Their Important Agronomic and Quality Characteristics

WOS: 000457128900003In this study, important agricultural and quality characteristics of other thirteen different peanut varieties (HALISBEY, ARIOGLU-2003, SULTAN, FLOWER-22, OSMANIYE-2005, BRANTLEY, WILSON, BATEM-5025, BATEM-CIHANGIR, GEORGIA GREEN, FLORISPAN and NC V-11) alternative to the most cultivated NC-7 peanut variety in Osmaniye region were determined. The research was conducted in the experimental areas belonging to Oil Seeds Research Institute for two years (2015 to 2016) in the main crop conditions. The experiment was set up with 4 replications according to randomized block trial design. Important agricultural and quality characteristics such as pod number per plant, pod yield per plant, pod yield per da, 100 pod weight, 100 seed weight, kernel percentage, fancy pod percentage, oil ratio, protein ratio and fatty acid were investigated in the research. The pod number per plant, 100 seed weight, internal rate and pod yield per decare were varied between 15.53-43.31 number, 53.27-132.68 g, 62.40-76.57 % and 234.46-655.41 kg/da respectively for tested varieties. HALISBEY, OSMANIYE-2005, SULTAN, NC V-11, BATEM-5025, BRANTLEY varieties were found high yielding and it has been found that these varieties can be grown successfully as a main crop, an alternative to NC-7 in Osmaniye Region. The oleic acid ratio was found very high in BRANTLEY (80.94%) in main growing season
