Agronomic and Grade Characteristics of the Virginia Market Type Peanut Grown in Virginia
and Carolina RegionMaria Balota and Thomas Isleib
Objectives were to 1) examine the genotype × location interaction for pod yield, value, and grade characteristics, and 2) compare commercial cultivars with advanced breeding lines for value, yield and grade factors.

Virginia market type peanut is an important cash crop for VA, NC, and SC. It annually brings over $90 million to the economies of this region from approximately 160,000 acres planted every year. For over 35 years, cultivars from VT and NCSU breeding programs are released based upon a multi- year and location selection test as part of a joint research project entitled Peanut Variety and Quality Evaluation (PVQE)1. Every year, PVQE replicated field plots are conducted at various locations in VA, NC, and SC to determine the potential for yield and grade characteristics of the Virginia market type peanut genotypes. Yield and grade factors are equally important for this crop’s profitability.
Materials & Methods:
•47 genotypes: 12 commercial varieties 26 NCSU advanced breeding lines 9 VT advanced breeding lines
• 5 locations: VA (2), NC (2), and SC (1)•3 replications in a RCB design
• Pod yield and crop value
• Grade characteristics: fancy pods, extra large kernels (ELK), sound mature kernels, and total meat1.
Results:Location, genotype, and location × genotype interaction had a significant effect on yield, crop value and the grade characteristics of the peanut genotypes (Table 1).

Table 1. ANOVA results and averages by location for 47 peanut genotypes. Within each column, values with the same letter are not significantly different based on Tukey’s HSD test.
Genotypes with less content of grade characteristics had less crop value although yields were high. For example, Wilson had high yield but less content of ELK and VA 98-R had less yield and high ELK content; they had similar crop value (Figs. 1&2).

Figure 3. Pod yield of three Virginia type peanut genotypes at 5 locations in 2008.
For some cultivars and advanced lines, genotype × location interaction was not significant for yield (Fig. 3) and grade characteristics, showing that some genotypes may grow with good net returns in all three states.
