VARIETY GUIDE
T
he best variety choice is one that will achieve a rapid, uniform stand and provide good yields and grades over a wide range of growing conditions. Today’s varieties offer resistance to multiple diseases. Carefully consider what varieties would fit best into your fields and operation overall. Factors that affect the decision of what variety to plant include field history, irrigation, planting and harvest capabilities, seed availability and quality and marketing. On a fieldby-field basis, weigh all of these factors to determine how the variety may fit into your situation and on your farming operation. PG
AU-NPL 17: The high-oleic runner-type peanut was released by Auburn University and the National Peanut Research Lab in 2017. It is a high-yielding, TSWV-resistant cultivar with tolerance to leaf spot. Seed will be limited in 2019. Florida-07: This medium-to-late runner market-type peanut was released from the University of Florida. It has shown
excellent yield potential with good grades. Seed are larger and, for this reason, gypsum is recommended for additional calcium. It has good-to-excellent resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), some white mold resistance and tolerance to leaf spot. Florida-07 has high-oleic oil chemistry with good-to-excellent roasting, blanching and processing characteristics. FloRun™ ‘331’: This high-yielding, medium maturity, disease tolerant runner-type variety was released from the University of Florida, North Florida Research and Education Center, Marianna, Fla. in 2016. It has medium runner seed size with very good grades. FloRun™ ‘331’ has had excellent pod yield in both irrigated and non-irrigated trials over several seasons of testing across several locations in Florida. Of the runner-type varieties tested for resistance to leaf spots and white mold, FloRun™ ‘331’ has had among the best pod yield and lowest disease scores and it is moderately resistant to tomato spotted wilt. FloRun™ ‘331’ has high oleic oil chemistry beneficial for extended shelf-life and marketability of peanuts and peanut products. Georgia-06G: A high-yielding, large-seeded, runner-type variety, Georgia-06G was developed at the UGA Coastal Plain
