Bostick, Larry W. Wells, and Brian E. Gamble1 INTRODUCTION The number of peanut varieties available to Alabama growers has increased in recent years, thus placing greater need for unbiased performance data regarding varietal selection for production. PRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION The 2003 tests were conducted at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center in Headland, AL. Prior to 2000, comparisons were made only under irrigation. During 2003, 24 entries were evaluated under irrigation, 19 entries were evaluated dryland, and 13 entries were evaluated late-planted dryland. The experimental design for each test was a randomized complete block consisting of two-row plots, 20 feet long, replicated four times. The irrigated and dryland tests were planted on May 6. The late-planted dryland test was planted on June 17. All tests were planted with a cone planter at a rate of six seed per foot of row. Recommended agronomic practices were followed regarding fertility, disease, insect, and weed control in all tests. The irrigated test entries considered to be earlier than Florunner in maturity were dug on September 9. These entries included Andru II, VA-C 92R, and ViruGard. All other entries were dug on September 15, except C34-24, C-99R, DP-1, GA 01R, Hull, and Southern Runner, which are considered later than Florunner, and were dug on October 6. The dryland test entries considered to be earlier than Florunner were dug on September 9. These entries were Andru II, and ViruGard. All other entries were dug September 15, except C34-24, C-99R, DP-1, GA 01R, Hull, and Southern Runner, which are considered later than Florunner, and were dug on October 6. In the late-planted dryland test, all entries were dug on November 4. Information concerning relative maturity for all test entries was provided by the plant breeder responsible for developing the variety. The information presented here represents data from three years at one location. Yield and disease occurrence data have been subjected to an analysis of variance. This statistical evaluation determined the overall averages for all varieties, coefficient of variation (CV) and the least significant differences (LSD). The LSD values represent the difference required for the averages of two varieties to be considered statistically different. The (.05) following the LSD value indicates that the LSD was calculated at the 95 percent level of confidence. The CV, which is expressed as a percentage, is a relative measure of variation within a set of data. CV values of 8 to 12 percent are generally considered acceptable for yield data of agronomic crops. CV values in the disease data are considerably higher than this. However, this is expected due to random occurrence of disease in the field. Bostick is an adjunct professor of the Auburn University Department of Agronomy and Soils and executive secretary of the Alabama Crop Improvement Association; Wells is superintendent and Gamble is associate superintendent of the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center. 1 6 ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION SIZE AND GRADE DATA TERMS Data were collected and averaged on samples from replicates II, III, and IV for size and grade. The samples were graded following Federal-State Inspection Service procedures for grading farmer-stock peanuts. Terms Used SMKRS count/lb. (number per pound of sound mature kernels riding screen)–Number of sound whole mature kernels from 1 pound of the shelled sample riding a 15/64 x 1-inch slotted screen or a 16/64 x 3/4-inch slotted screen for Virginia or Runner varieties, respectively. Pct. SMKRS (sound mature kernels riding screen)–Portion of shelled sample as described above. Pct. SS (sound splits)–Portion of shelled sample split or broken but not damaged. Pct. TSMK (total sound mature kernels)–Portion of the shelled sample comprised of sound mature kernels plus sound splits. Pct. OK (other kernels)–Kernels that pass through a 15/64 x 1-inch slotted screen or 16/64 x 3/4-inch slotted screen for Virginia or Runner varieties, respectively. Pct. DK (damaged kernels)–Kernels that are moldy, decayed, affected by insects or weather conditions resulting in seed coat or cotyledon discoloration or deterioration. Pct. TK (total kernels)–All shelled sample kernels including TSMK, OK, and DK. Pct. Hulls–All hulls from the shelled sample. +21.0 (generally considered as the Jumbo commercial grade)–Portion of SMKRS riding a 21/64 x 3/4-inch slotted screen. -21.0 +18.0 (generally considered as the Medium commercial grade)–Portion of the SMKRS falling through a 21/64 x 3/4-inch slotted screen and riding a 18/64 x 3/4-inch slotted screen. -18.0+ 16.0 (generally considered as the No.1 commercial grade)–Portion of the SMKRS falling through a 18/64 x 3/4inch slotted screen and riding a 16/64 x 3/4-inch slotted screen. ADDITIONAL DATA EXPLANATION The 2003 growing season presented unusually high rainfall. The test areas were basically flat and drained slowly. Slow drainage, compounded by soil compaction, resulted in some crop injury and irregular growth patterns in the irrigated test area. Coefficient of variations developed during statistical analysis indicated acceptable agronomic data; however, data from all tests presented should be reviewed in varietal evaluations. Extreme environmental influences could affect varietal characteristics other than just yield. Most notably, in these tests, seed size was smaller than usual. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors express appreciation to Austin K. Hagan, professor of Entomology and Plant Pathology, for providing the disease evaluation data and to Glenn Wehtje, professor of Agronomy and Soils, for the statistical analysis. Appreciation is also expressed to Amy Folger and Larry Savelle, Wiregrass Research and Extension Center, for their cooperation. 2003 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF PEANUT VARIETIES 7 T ABLE 1.

DP-1 has the highest level of resistance to late leaf spot, tomato spotted wilt virus, and white mold currently available in a U.S. peanut cultivar. Yields of 4800 pounds per acre have been recorded in Florida tests with no fungicide applied for leaf spot control. DP-1 has normal oil chemistry and seed size similar to GK 7 and Florunner. It has somewhat less vine growth than C-99R. Seed will be marketed through Damascus Peanut Company. 9. Exp. 3079A; 10. Exp.3081B; 11. Exp. 3085A Advanced breeding lines developed by Dr. Ernest Harvey, Golden Peanut Company. These lines are similar to GK7 in growth habit with medium (135 to 140 days) maturity. Seed and pod size are also similar to GK7. They carry resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus and late leaf-spot. The high oleic trait is carried by 3081B and 3085A, while 3079A has the normal oleic/linoleic acid ratio. 12. Georgia-01R Developed by Dr. Bill Branch, University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. Released under the 1994 amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Late maturity range with mid-oleic oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio with seed and pod size similar to C-99R. Is resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus and carries tolerance to leaf spot and white mold. Observations have indicated less occurrence of cylindrocladium black rot and leaf hopper damage than more susceptible varieties. 13. Georgia -02C Developed by Dr. Bill Branch, University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. Same maturity range as Florunner with seed and pod size slightly larger than Florunner. High oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio with runner growth habit and vine growth more consistent with Florunner than Georgia Green. Resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus and cylindrocladium black rot. 14. Georgia Green Developed by Dr. Bill Branch, University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. Released in 1995 and protected under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Same maturity range as Florunner with seed and pod size similar to or slightly more round than Florunner. Normal oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio with intermediate growth habit and considerably less vine growth than Florunner. Resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus, but carries no known insect resistance. Georgia Green has proven to have yield stability across a wide range of different environments under both irrigated and non-irrigated conditions and in both single and twin row patterns. 15. Georgia Hi-O/L Developed by Dr. Bill Branch, University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. Released in 1999 with plant variety protection applied for under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Same maturity range as Florunner with larger seed and pod size, high oleic/linoleic acid ratio, and intermediate growth habit. Resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus. 16. Gregory Developed by Dr. Tom Isleib, North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. Released in 1997 with plant variety protection applied for under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Maturity range is earlier than NC 7 with larger seed and pod size. Has normal oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio and intermediate growth habit. The only known resistances of Gregory are to cylindrocladium black rot (this is very slight: i.e., it is less susceptible than NC 7) and to tomato spotted wilt virus (6.5% infection rate compared with 9.2% for NC-V11). Like NC 7 and NC 12C, Gregory is extremely susceptible to sclerotinia blight. Gregory has a pink seed coat. 17. Hull Developed by Dr. Dan Gorbet, University of Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. Released in 2002 under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Also carries a patent on the high oleic trait prohibiting nonlicensed parties from saving seed for replanting.

Also carries a patent on the high oleic trait prohibiting nonlicensed parties from saving seed for replanting. Norden is a medium maturity (135 to 140 days) variety, with runner growth habit (prominent center stem), runner size pods and seed, very good tomato spotted wilt virus resistance, and high oleic oil chemistry. It is a replacement for SunOleic 97R in FFSP program. Norden has shown pod yields and tomato spotted wilt virus resistance equal to or better than Georgia Green in Florida tests and a somewhat larger seed size. Norden has been equal to Georgia Green in resistance to white mold, leaf spot, and rhizoctonia disease. 20. Southern Runner Developed by Dr. Dan Gorbet, University of Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. Released in 1986 and protected under the Plant Variety Protection Act. Matures 15 to 20 days later than Florunner with smaller seed and pod size. Has normal oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio with runner growth habit. Has resistance to late leafspot, white mold, rust, and tomato spotted wilt virus. Possibly has some resistance to Southern corn rootworm. Possibly has more drought tolerance and usually has lower LSK and less alfatoxin than Florunner. Tan seedcoat and prominent exterior hull venation. 21. VA 98R Developed by Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS. Released in 1998 with plant variety protection applied for under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Maturity range is early, similar to NC 7 with smaller seed and pod size, normal oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio, and runner growth habit. No known insect or disease resistance. However, early data indicate that it might be less susceptible to sclerotinia blight than some Virginia type varieties (NC 7, NC 10C, Gregory, and NC 12C). Other characteristics are high yield potential with excellent pod characteristics for in-shell processing (bright pod color and typical peanut shape). Its runner growth habit and prominent erect mainstem make for easier digging with rows being easily determined. 22. VA-C 92R Developed by Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, and USDAARS. Released in 1992 and protected under the Plant Variety Protection Act. Maturity range same as NC 7 with smaller seed and pod size and normal oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio. Has moderate field tolerance to tomato spotted wilt virus and is susceptible to early leafspot. Has intermediate growth habit and uniform pink seed. Its high yield potential made it very popular in the VC area until area shellers voiced concerns over its relatively dark hulls. 23. ViruGard Developed by Dr. Ernest Harvey, AgraTech Seeds Inc. Released in 1997 under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Maturity range is earlier than Florunner with larger seed and pod size, mid-level oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio, and intermediate growth habit. Generally smaller leaflet size than Florunner. No known insect resistance. Resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus. Seedcoat color lighter than Florunner. 24. Wilson Developed by Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS. Released in 2002 and protected under the 1994 Amendment of the Plant Variety Protection Act. Early maturity with smaller pod and seed size than NC 7. Normal oleic/linoleic fatty acid ratio with intermediate runner type growth habit. May have some tolerance to cylindrocladium black rot. Intermediate in susceptibility to tomato spotted wilt virus, Sclerotinia blight, leaf spot, and web blotch. Wilson has a pink to light pink seed coat. 2003 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF PEANUT VARIETIES 21 SOURCES OF SEED Dr. W. D.
