The study was conducted at the Education and Research Farm of the Department of Botany, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri, Maharashtra state during the kharif and rabi2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, to study the “Effect of seasons and plant spacings on quality parameters of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes”. The experiment was laid out in split plot design replicated three times. The main plot treatment consists of two seasons (kharif and rabi); however, sub plot treatments consist of eleven groundnut genotypes. The sub- sub plot treatments consist of three plant spacings (D1: 30 x 20 cm, D2: 30 x 15 cm and D3: 30 x 10 cm). Results showed that different treatments had significant influence on quality parameters and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes. The maximum pod yield was recorded in season S2 (38.71 q/ha). Among the genotypes G3 (45.41 q/ha) gave highest pod yield q/ha which was significantly more than the rest of genotypes. Closer spacing of 30 x 10 cm is the best spacing in terms of pod yield q/ha (38.09 q/ha) in groundnut genotypes. The quality parameters such as oil and protein content significantly highest was recorded in kharif seasons (48.61%) and (22.80%) during both years. Significantly maximum oil content was recorded in genotype G10 (50.39%) and maximum protein content was recorded in G6 (23.30%). The crop sown with 30 x 20 cm spacing recorded highest protein (22.84%) and oil content (48.77%).
