Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate groundnut varieties for the agro-ecological zone of Malak and Division at Agriculture Research Institute (North) Mingora, in 2014. Six groundnut varieties () were evaluated for different agronomic traits. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used in the experiment. Days to 50% flowering, plant height, seed pod-1, 100 seed weight (gm), and seed yield kg ha-1 significantly differ among different genotypes. a genotype PG-1165 and SP-2000 took maximum days to flowering while the lowest days took by PG-1132 and PG-1058 maximum plant height was observed in PG-1165 and SP-2000 while the minimum height was observed in PG-1132 and PG-1058.Maximum weight of 100 kernel were recorded by SP-2000 and PG-207and the early maturity were recorded by SP-2000 and PG-1058 while the late maturity were recorded by PG-1132 and PG1165 and highest pod length were recorded by PG-214,PG-1132 while the lowest pod length were recorded by PG-1165 and PG-1132 number of seed were maximum counted in PG-1165 pod while minimum in PG-1058,PG-1132,PG-214 and high shelling percentage were recorded by PG-1132 while low recorded by SP-2000 significant difference were recorded by SP-2000 and PG-214 which produce high yield while the lowest yield observed by PG-1058 and PG-1165.Based on results ,the recommended ground variety for adaptation and further research in the rain fed agro climate area were SP-2000 and PG-214.
