This research was carried out in two locations namely Şanlıurfa and Kahramanmaraş during planting season of 1993. The aim of this study was to determine the adaptation of 18 peanut c.v. in two locations as second crop after wheat harvesting. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with three replications. The results showed that the highest seed yield was obtained for `PI 25910` (257.3 kg/da) in Kahramanmaraş, while in Şanlıurfa location, 213.4, 203.0, 196.3 kg/da yields were obtained for `75/1073-H`, `PI 378017` and `PI 346385` respectively. However 100 seed weight obtained `PI 3780174` 66.6 g in Şanlıurfa conditions, but in Kahramanmaraş conditions the highest 100 seed weight was `PI 269084` of 74.0 g. Whereas the highest oil content was `PI 269084` of 51.4 % in Şanlıurfa, in the second location the highest oil content was `ICGS=5` c.v. of 51.1 %.
