Abstract
IAC OL 3 and IAC OL 4 peanut cultivars are new releases of Instituto Agronomico (IAC), Campinas, SP. These cultivars were developed to attend the demand of the Brazilian peanut business for high oleic runner cultivars, whose cycle can be better adjusted to the areas of sugarcane renewal than other runner cultivars.
Highlights
Brazil presently produces 336 thousand ton of unshelled peanuts (CONAB 2013)

Around 80% of the product comes from cropping areas of São Paulo, where the peanut is cultivated in rotation with sugarcane
Summary
Around 80% of the product comes from cropping areas of São Paulo, where the peanut is cultivated in rotation with sugarcane. This production is mostly used for human consumption (confectionery industry), 60% is destined to the Brazilian market and 25% is exported. IAC 503 and IAC 505 were the first high oleic runner cultivars released in Brazil (Godoy et al 2009) Due to their long cycle duration, planting of those cultivars was limited in the sugarcane rotation system. To overcome this limitation, IAC has released IAC OL 3 and IAC OL 4 cultivars, which associate good yield performance within a shorter cropping time, and desirable technological traits
