NC 20 was released by North Carolina State University and developed by Dr. Jeffrey Dunne. It is a high-oleic, high yielding Virginia-type peanut cultivar. NC 20 has approximately 63.0% jumbo pods and 30.6% fancy pods, seeds with tan seed coat averaging 906 mg seed-1, and extra-large kernel content of approximately 35%. NC 20 has the high-oleic trait that includes modified fatty acid content of the seed oil with elevated oleic fatty acid content and depressed linoleic acid content. This increases the shelf life of the seed and products made from them. NC 20 has alternate branching pattern, decumbent growth habit, and profuse branching. It is moderately resistant to southern stem rot, late leaf spot, Sclerotinia blight, early leaf spot, and tomato spotted wilt virus. It is resistant to Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR). US PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION APPLIED FOR and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed.
