Yaman 6 Peanut (NSIC Pn 22): Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
Yaman 6 is a registered peanut variety, also sold or known as NSIC Pn 22 or Yaman peanut. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2020 as NSIC 2020 Pn 22. It takes about 104 days from sowing to harvest, with 1.77 tonnes per hectare on average in the trials.
