Variety traits

Peanut growing season

Arachis hypogaea L.

The period from full emergence to harvest maturity, ranging from 75 to 200 days depending on the genotype and growing conditions. Maturity assessment considers the specific features of geocarpy, dry matter accumulation, and characteristic signs of pod shell darkening.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Peanut, where this is mentioned in the description.

For peanut, the growing season is a key indicator of adaptability, with varieties lasting 100–120 days considered early-maturing for temperate climates. The crop has strict requirements for the sum of active temperatures, as failure to meet these timeframes prevents plants from forming full-fledged pods before the onset of unfavorable autumn conditions.

The duration of the period is not a strictly fixed trait and varies under the influence of external factors: it shortens in hot, dry years and lengthens under excessive moisture or low temperatures. Given these features, breeding for the northern limits of the cultivation area is focused on developing early-maturing varieties capable of completing their development cycle under short-summer conditions.
