Abstract

The present research was carried out in the AlGhab region, the village of Hialin, Hama Governorate, during 2015-2106- 2017 season. superior strains in addition to both check varieties (Idlib I-C and Hamma H-C) of peanuts were used. Ten stains of which were derived from the local variety Hama and other 13 strains were derived from the local variety Idlib, after exposing the seeds of the two varieties to three doses of gamma rays (200 - 250 - 300) Gy during 2010 and 2011
seasons. The twenty three M3 seeds were planted in the 2015 season and at the end of the season the superior M4 plants were selected for planting during next season (2016). In the 2017 season, M5 seeds were planted and at the end of the season the M5 plants were individually selected based on the following traits (early/day, yield kg/ha). The results showed that the local cultivar Idlib was more responsive to investigated procedure than local cultivar of Hama.
