Five groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea L.) varieties (Ashford, Barberton, MH-383, Sodari and Kiris) were evaluated at the southern costal region of Yemen in 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 during winter seasons at the research station, El-Kod, Abyan province. The latin square design was used with five replications. The correlation analyses showed that grain yield was highly and positively significant correlated with root length. It was also highly and negatively significant correlated with days to 50% flowering and ripening. The results have also showed that the varieties Kiris, Sodari and Barbarton were earlier in flowering and maturing time. However, the variety Kiris gave the highest 100 seed weight and seed yield/ha in comparison with the other varieties. Therefore, this study highly recommends conducting further adaptation trials of varietal evaluation at farmer's locations.
