This study was carried out to determine haulm forage capacity of some groundnut genotypes in Antalya/Turkiye climatic conditions for two years (2006 and 2007). Five groundnut cultivars (Gazipasa, Com, Florispan, NC-7, Batem-5025) and one groundnut line (PI-355276) were studied. The trial was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates. According to results of the study there were statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in green fodder yield (GFY, kg. ha(-1)), dry fodder yield (GFY, kg. ha(-1)), dry matter ratio (DMR, %), leaf/stem ratio (L/SR), dry pod yield (DPY, kg. ha(-1)) and haulm crude protein ratio (CPR, %) among the groundnut genotypes. Leaf dry matter ratio (%) and stem dry matter ratio (%) were also determined in this study. The highest green fodder yield (38760 kg. ha(-1)) and dry pod yield (3150 kg. ha(-1)) were obtained from PI-355276 line. The PI-355276 line also had the highest dry haulm yield, of 9320 kg. ha(-1). The highest crude protein ratio was obtained in Batem-5025 and Gazipasa with 12.28% and 12.19%, respectively. According to correlation analysis, there were significant relationships between forage matter (GFY and DFY) and dry pods yields of genotypes. Results of this study showed that PI-355276 line produced the highest forage and pod yields, and therefore it is suitable in Mediterranean conditions.
