The research was carried out in the experimental field cultivated with peanuts at Research Development Station for Plant Culture on Sands in the period 2019-2021. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different harvest times on some elements of productivity and yield in peanuts grown under sandy soil conditions. The experiment was mono-factorial with three harvest periods: 153, 163, 173 and 183 days after sowing (DAS). The Viviana variety was used for sowing. The results showed that the number of mature pods per plant was higher in the late harvest. The pod yield over the three years increased from 3805 kg/ha to 4710 kg/ha when the harvest was delayed from 153 days after sowing (DAS) to 173 days after sowing (DAS).
