Abstract
To evaluate twenty peanut (Arachis hypogaea, L.) genotypes, A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Faculty Farm, New Valley University, El-Kharga Oasis, New Valley Governorate, Egypt during 2020 and 2021 summer season. The tested genotypes were named as line 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 18, 25, 26, 27, 28, 34, 35, 41, 43, 50,13R, 27R and NC as a check variety. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design, using three replications. The results of the study manifest that significant distinction line 3, 4, 10, 13, 26, 28, 35, 41 and 27R at most traits compared to check variety (NC) in both seasons. In addition, Line 4 had the highest fresh, dry, pods and seeds weights/plant and gave the highest pods, seed, oil yields/fad. in the two growing seasons. Furthermore, Line 28 recorded the biggest number of branches/plant while Line 27R gave the biggest number of pods and seeds/plant in both seasons. Thus, sowing the lines 3, 4, 10, 13, 26, 28, 35, 41 and 27R, especially the lines 4 and 26 may be the suitable choice under newly reclaimed soils condition.
