Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different sowing dates on pod yield and some agronomic characteristics of Virginia type peanut variety (Halisbey) and to determine the optimum sowing date in Mediterranean region. This study was conducted in 2018 and 2019 at the Experimental Research Farm of Agricultural Faculty, Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey. The seeds were sown at seven different dates such as 28 March, 8 April, 18 April, 18 April, 8 May, 18 May and 28 May in each year. The experiment was designed a randomized complete block design with three replications. The plants were harvested 160 days after sowing beginning of 8 September in each two years. Pod number and pod weight per plant, 100 seed weight, shelling percentage, oil and protein content, pod and kernel yield per hectare characteristics of varieties were investigated. As a result; pod number and weight per plant, 100 seed weight, shelling percentage, pods and kernel yield values were the highest at the 8 May sowing date. While the oil content was decreased with delaying the sowing date, the protein content was increased. According to a two year average, the highest pod yield (8136 kgha-1) and kernel yield (5711 kgha-1) were obtained at the 8 May sowing date.
