The test was performed using factorial experiment with randomized complete block design in 3 replications. First factor was seed production region in 3 levels (<em>Noghredeh</em>, <em>Amshal</em> and <em>Bandar-Kiyashahr</em>) and second factor was seed size in 3 levels (large, medium and small).The studied characteristics were including:cumulative germination percentage, germination rate, germination uniformity, radicle length, hypocotyl length, plumule length, seedling length, radicle/plumule ratio, seedling fresh water, storage reserve loss rate, storage reserve transform rate and seedling vigour index. Results indicated that the maximum cumulative germination percent (86.67 percent)was achieved in seeds produced in Amshal field. With reaching the final days of germination, difference between treatments according to seedling length traits was low and not significant at the end of the day.The maximum mean radicle length was obtained in Amshal seeds. In all seed production fields of peanut, large seed showed maximum seedling fresh weight(5.5 gr). Also in this test, the simple effect of peanut production region and Interaction of peanut production region in seed size were significant on seedling vigour of peanut. Maximum seedling vigour(1467.41)was obtained from large seeds produced in the region Amshal. The main effect of treatment showed that there was maximum storage reserve loss rate in seeds produced in Amshal field (61.94 percent) and small seeds(63.38 percent). The Maximum storage reserve transform rate(55.170 percent)was observed in small seeds produced in Amshal field.In general, large seeds produced in Amshal region had better quality In order to evaluate the germination process, storage reserve loss and transform rate of peanut seeds produced in three was fieldusedstandard germination test.This study was performed in agronomy laboratory of Rasht branch Islamic Azad University.
