The experiment was conducted during kharif-2015 and rabi/summer 2015-16 in selected districts of Hyderabad-Karnataka region. Farmer’s Participatory Varietal Selection approach was used to evaluate 10 groundnut varieties in farmer fields by the farmers. Based on pooled mean performance of test genotypes for dry pod yield (kg/ha) across locations during kharif-2015, the test genotypes GPBD-5 (1572 kg/ha), Kadiri-9 (1492 kg/ha) and ICGV-00351 (1481 kg/ha) were found to be statistically significant over local check (1267 kg/ha) and in rabi/summer, the ICGV-00351 (1693 kg/ha), GPBD-5 (1649 kg/ha) and Kadiri-9 (1589 kg/ha) were performed statistically significant over local check (1406 kg/ha) across the locations. With respect to farmers preference during kharif, Kadiri-9 (22.70 %), GPBD-5 (15.52 %) and Dharani (15 %) were most preferred varieties, where in rabi/summer, Kadiri-9 (22.70 %), Dharani (16.91 %) and GPBD-5 (12.84 %) were most preferred varieties. The varietal preference among the groundnut stakeholders revealed that, Kadiri-9 being most preferred variety with total rankings of 19, which is followed by ICGV-00351, Kadiri-haritendra, TPG-41, TMV-2, G2-52 and GPBD-5 with total rankings of 18 based on the mean preference of the traits like Seed size, seed shape, test a colour, pod size, pod shape, pod filling, shelling (%), oil content and market price.
