Text Box: Brantley Peanut Variety Description U.S. Protected Variety Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed Brantley was released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in 2005. It is a Virginia-type peanut with high oleic acid content in its seed oil, essentially derived from variety NC 7. It has alternate branching pattern, intermediate runner growth habit, medium green foliage, large seeds with light pink testa. Yield, value per acre, flavor, grade, agronomic performance, disease reactions, and maturity are similar to NC 7. Oleic acid content is 79.1% compared to 55.9% with normal-oleic NC 7. Linoleic acid content is 4.3% compared to 25.1% with normal-oleic NC 7. Oleic/Linoleic acid ratio is 21.8% compared to 2.3% with normal-oleic NC 7. The high-oleic acid trait is protected by US Utility Patent (U. S. Patent Nos. 5,922,390, 6,063,984, and 6,121,472). Champs Peanut Variety Description Champs was released by Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties, Inc. in 2004. It is an early maturing Virginia-type peanut. Plant growth type is similar to NC-V11 and VA 98R. Sclerotinia blight resistance is similar to VA 98R and Wilson. Resistance to tomato-spotted wilt virus is similar to NC-V11. Resistance to cylindrocladium black rot and web blotch is good.       Florida Fancy Peanut Variety Description U. S. Variety Protection Applied For   Florida Fancy was released in 2006 by the University of Florida.  It originates from a cross of a University of Florida Virginia-type breeding line.  The cross was made to provide good yields and grades and seed with high oleic oil chemistry.    It is a Virginia market type with medium to medium-early maturity, with competitive yields and good TSWV resistance, and some leafspot resistance.  Plants are normal runner growth habit and somewhat lighter green color, with relatively prominent center stem.  It has large seed size and good pod yields.   Gregory Peanut Variety Description U.S. Protected Variety Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed Gregory is a Virginia type peanut variety released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. Its growth habit is intermediate between bunch and runner and has large seeds with pink testa. Gregory has larger pods and seeds than the largest Virginia type varieties currently available. Gregory was derived from a cross of NC 7 and NC 9. Gregory is similar to NC 7 in being susceptible to early leaf spot, Cylindrocladium black rot, Southern stem rot, and Sclerotinia blight. In comparison with NC 7, Gregory has more fancy size pods, more extra large kernels, fewer sound mature kernels, lower meat content, higher pod yield and higher value per acre. NC-V11 Peanut Variety Description U.S. Protected Variety Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed NC-V11 was released jointly by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, and USDA-ARS. It is a selection of two particular selections of Florigiant x NC 5 and Florigiant x PI 337396. Plants have a runner growth habit and are similar to Florigiant in appearance. Perry Peanut Variety Description U.S. Protected Variety Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed Perry was released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. This Virginia-type peanut variety has a high level of resistance to Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) partial resistance to Sclerotinia blight and some field resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus. Perry has alternate branching pattern, runner growth habit, dark green foliage, and large seeds with pink testa. Phillips Peanut Variety Description U.S. Protected Variety Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed Phillips was released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in 2005. It is a Virginia-type peanut with a large amount of bright fancy pods. It has alternate branching pattern, intermediate runner growth habit, medium green foliage, large seeds with tan testa, about 34% jumbo pods and 45% fancy pods. Maturity is similar to Gregory. Based upon other varieties and evaluation in 1999 - 2003, Phillips performed similar to NC 12C and Perry for reaction to early leaf spot. It performed similar to NC 12C and Perry for reaction to Cylindrocladium black rot. Phillips is susceptible to Sclerotinia blight. Reaction due to tomato spotted wilt virus is similar to NC-V11; less tolerant than Gregory. VA 98R Peanut Variety Description U.S. Protected Variety Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed VA 98R is a large seeded Virginia type peanut variety released by Virginia Tech. It has a runner growth habit and a prominent main stem. VA 98R has two characteristics that are highly desired by the peanut indistry; a pink seed coat and excellent pod characteristics which include bright color, shape, and size. VA 98R is considered as early maturing with excellent yield potential and grade characteristics, even when dug at a September 15 harvest date. Data from Virginia early maturity tests show VA 98R to have yield and dollar value superior to VA 93B, NC 7, and VA-C92R. Grade data show fancy pod percentages of VA 98R lower than NC 7, but equal to VA-C92R.
