The invention provides a method for breeding green efficient peanut varieties, and belongs to the technical field of agricultural planting. The method comprises the steps that shading is conducted for6-8 d in the peak flowering stage of peanuts, 280-320 kg/hm<2> of pure nitrogen is applied, and then water is sprayed to the surfaces of peanut leaves after applying pure nitrogen; shading is conducted for 8-10 d at the pegging stage of the peanuts, 280-320 kg/hm<2> of pure nitrogen is applied, and then water is sprayed to the surfaces of the peanut leaves after applying pure nitrogen; shading isconducted in the pod bearing period for 10-12 d, 200-250 kg/hm<2> of pure nitrogen is applied, water is sprayed to the surfaces of the peanut leaves after applying pure nitrogen; peanut plants not higher than 40 cm in the planing period are bred as green efficient peanut varieties. According to the method for breeding the green efficient peanut varieties, the plant height of the varieties in theplanting period is lower than 40 cm, a plant growth regulator does not need to be sprayed to control growth of the peanuts, lodging and yield reduction do not occur, not only is use of the plant growth regulator reduced, but also the economic coefficient of the peanuts is increased, and green and high efficiency are achieved.
