331 (FloRun™ 331) is a large seeded, medium maturity runner-type peanut with high oleic oil chemistry. It has excellent seedling vigor and strong yield potential under non-irrigated conditions. It is moderately resistant to white mold, leaf spot and TSWV. Growth habit is semi-erect with a prominent main stem at digging. Foliage is light green, and the fruiting habit is alternate. US PROTECTED VARIETY and can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed. Variety Producers
BAILEY II was released by North Carolina State University. Bailey II is a high-oleic, high yielding Virginia-type peanut cultivar selected in a conventional breeding program. Bailey II has alternate branching pattern, intermediate runner growth habit, and medium green foliage. Bailey II has approximately 42% jumbo pods, 44% fancy pods, seed with tan seed coat averaging 904 mg seed-1, and extra-large kernel content of 35%. The high-oleic trait produces an array of changes in the fatty acid composition of peanut oil compared with normal-oleic cultivars, most notably the elevation of oleic acid and the reduction of linoleic acid content. Compared to normal-oleic cultivars, it will exhibit extended shelf life. It is most similar to the recurrent parent ‘Bailey’ in yield and disease resistance; although Bailey II will exhibit more jumbo pods, super extra-large kernels, and extra-large kernels. Bailey II is partially resistant to the four most common diseases in the Virginia-Carolina peanut production area: leaf spot, Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR), Sclerotinia blight (SB), and tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV). High oleic testing is required for all classes of certified seed lots. US PROTECTED VARIETY and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed. Variety Producers
EMERY was released by Dr. Tom Isleib. EMERY is a high-oleic large-seeded Virginia type peanut released from Dr. Tom Isleib’s peanut breeding program, initially numbered N010046ol. Growth exhibits alternate branching, intermediate runner growth habit, and medium green foliage. It has approximately 68% jumbo pods, 89% fancy pods, seeds with tan seed coat, super extra-large kernel content of 17%, extra-large kernel content of 32% and 72% total sound mature kernels. Producers of Emery seed will be required to test conditioned seed to verify high oleic composition. Emery is covered by utility patents on high oleic oil chemistry. Only licensed producers may sell this variety for seed and no farmer saved seed is allowed. US VARIETY PROTECTION APPLIED FOR and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed. Variety Producers
GEORGIA-VAL/HO (Reg. no. CV-143, PI 695316) was released by Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in 2020 . is a new high yielding, high oleic, large podded, large seeded, valencia type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. ssp. fastigiata var. fastigiata) cultivar. Georgia-Val/HO has an atypical semi-prostrate growth habit and medium maturity, but typical valencia three seed per pod and red testa color. It also has moderate resistance to tomato spotted wilt disease. Georgia-Val/HO was developed at the University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. It was developed from an intersubspecific cross made in 2010 between two Georgia cultivars, ‘Georgia-11J’ (ssp. hypogaea) and ‘Georgia Valencia’ (ssp. fastigiata). During 4 yr (2016–2019) averaged across two planting dates (April and May), Georgia-Val/HO had significantly less total disease incidence and higher pod yield, total sound mature kernel (TSMK) grade, and dollar values compared with six other valencia cultivars in Georgia. Georgia-Val/HO had significantly higher overall performance at both early April and optimum May planting dates. Georgia-Val/HO combines high yield, TSMK grade, and dollar value with large pods and seed and the high O/L ratio trait for longer shelf life of peanut and peanut products. Georgia-Val/HO has high yield and large pod and seed size. This new cultivar has a high oleic/linoleic ratio. Variety Producers
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. Variety Producers
SULLIVAN was released by NC State University (Dr. Tom Isleib's program in 2013). This is a Virginia type peanut. Yields on average 45% jumbo, 40% fancy with a tans seed coat, high oleic, and partial resistance to early leaf spot, Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR), Sclerotinia blight (SB), and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV). Pods are most similar to Bailey, NC-V11, and Perry. It was selected for multiple disease resistance and high-oleic acid content. Sullivan was tested in the Virginia-Carolinas Peanut Variety and Quality Evaluation Program as the experimental variety N08075olCT since 2007. Producers of Sullivan will be required to test conditioned seed to verify high oleic composition. Only licensed producers may sell this variety for seed. US PROTECTED VARIETY and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed. Variety Producers
TUFRUNNER 297 was released by University of Florida. is an extra-large seeded runner with high-oleic oil chemistry. It has a semi-prostrate growth habit with a tall and prominent center stem. TUFRunner 297 testa are tan in color and the seed are slightly larger than those of ‘Georgia-06G’ (83.7 bs. 76.7 g/100 seed). This variety was released for its pod yield potential, grading potential, disease resistance, and high-oleic oil chemistry suited to farmers and manufacturers of peanut foods. TUFRunner 297 has shown good resistance to white mold and TSWV, but is susceptible to leaf spot. Yield and grade have been excellent. US PROTECTED VARIETY and can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed. Variety Producers
