Abstract
This study was conducted at the experimental area of the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Cukurova University as a main crop in 2015 and 2016. The objective of this study was to determinate the effect of harvesting dates on some agronomic and quality characteristics of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties grown as a main crop in Mediterranean region (Turkey). The experimental design was a split plot with three replications. The Halisbey, Sultan, Arioglu-2003, 0smaniye-2005, NC-7, Batem-5025, Flower-22, Flower-32, Flower-36, Brantley and Wilson peanut varieties (Virginia market type) were used as a plant material in this research. The plants were harvested at 149,156,163 and 170 days after sowing (DAS).
