A field experiment was conducted in the Al-Shaafeen / city of Maslata area in the coastal strip area, east of Tripoli - Libya, during the dry season, in the period from April - November 2023. The objective of the experiment was an evaluation of the genetic potential and adaptability of Bambara groundnut genotypes under Libyan Climatic Conditions. Two genotypes were tested (BBL 1.1 from Indonesia, and Tvsu 86 from Thailand). A completely randomized design was used for this experiment with three replications. The genotype BBL 1.1 showed clear superiority over the genotype Tvsu 86 in the average plant height, number of leaflets per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, fresh weight of pods per plant, dry weight of pods per plant, weight of seeds per plant, Weight of 100 seeds, and Total weight of seeds and was the fastest in maturing. Despite its delay in flowering, in addition, the genotype BBL 1.1 possessed inherently high yield potential and showed a grain yield of 321.6 kg/ha compared with genotype Tvsu 86 a grain yield of 24.7 kg/ha. The genotype BBL 1.1 was more adapted to the Libyan climatic conditions and excelled in its performance in field growth, which shows that this genotype maintains stable performance under various conditions.
