Abstract: In order to select the optimal peanut varieties which can be promoted appropriately under environmental condition in the western region of Henan Province, and provide a scientific basis for large area promotion, we chose the varieties with prominent performance in previous tests, and carried out a field comparison experiment with randomized blocks and three replications. The results showed that the production trends of pods and nuts were basically identical. The nuts production increased by 5% more than the average yield were ‘Yuhua No.9326’, ‘Luohua No.4087’, ‘Puhua No.9519’, ‘Yuhua No.15’, ‘Qiule No.177’, ‘Yuhua No.9719’ and ‘Shanghua No.6’. However, the nuts production of ‘Baisha No.1016’, ‘Yuanza No.9102’ and ‘Shanghua No.5’ decreased by 5% more than the average of the tested varieties. Nuts productions of other varieties were in between. Based on a comprehensive assessment of yield, stability, resistance and other economic traits, we selected the best varieties grown in western Henan Province currently as ‘Yuhua No.9326’, ‘Luohua No.4087’, ‘Puhua No.9519’, ‘ Yuhua No.15’ and ‘Shanghua No.6’.
