Abstract
Fifty-six varieties of peanut were tested for pod and seed yield. Economic Garden Red gave the highest yield of about 1.42 tons of pods per hectare in the wet season, while Tainan Pei You Tou No. 1 was the highest pod yielder (3.13 tons) during the dry season. The dry season planting gave a higher yield level and better quality seeds that the wet-season crop.
Correlations of seed diameter and weight per seed to seed yield were found to be significant. Difference in seed diameter accounted for 14.4% and 26.4% of the variation in seed yield during the wet and dry season, respectively. An additional 13 per cent of the seed yield variation during the wet season was attributed to seed weight.
