This paper presents the results of peanut variety trials carried out at three experiment stations of the Instituto Agronômico, viz., Campinas, Ribeirão Preto, and Pindorama, during two consecutive years (1951-52 and 1952-53). The 16 varieties compared in the tests represented the most promising ones as determined in previous experiments already reported. The best yields were given by the varieties Roxo-40, Roxo-54, and Tatui-76. The highest yields were obtained in red soil ("terra-roxa-misturada") at the Central Experiment Station, Campinas, where the maximum and minimum yields were, respectively, 5,170 and 2,990 kg per hectare.
