The objectives of this research were to investigate the effects of sowing time and cultivar on pod yield, yield components, oil and protein content of peanut crops under irrigated condition in south-eastern of Turkey. Three peanut cultivars, Halis Bey, Osmaniye-2005 and Sultan developed by Cukurova University were grown at the experimental area of Agricultural Faculty, Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey in 2010 and 2012 with two sowing times (15 April as early sowing and 25 June as late sowing). Treatments were arranged in split plot design replicated three times with sowing time in the main plots and cultivars in the subplots. Sowing time affected pod yield, pod number plant-1 and oil content in both years. Early sowings resulted in higher pod yields, pod number plant-1 and oil content compared to late sowing for all cultivars. The results also showed that cultivars were different for pod yield in both years. Sultan produced the highest pod yields under both sowing times.
