Registration of ‘Georgia‐08V’ Peanut

Abstract

‘Georgia‐08V’ (Reg. No. CV‐105, PI 655573) is a new high‐yielding, high‐oleic, Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)–resistant, large‐seeded, virginia‐type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea) cultivar released by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in 2008. It was developed at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. Georgia‐08V originated from a cross made between ‘C‐99R’ × ‘Georgia Hi‐O/L’. Pedigree selection was practiced within the F2, F3, and F4 generations. Performance testing began in the F4:6 generation with the advanced pure‐line selection, GA 012535, the experimental designation of Georgia‐08V. Averaged over 38 multilocation tests conducted in Georgia during 2004 to 2007, Georgia‐08V had significantly less TSWV disease incidence, higher yield and percentage extra‐large kernels (ELK), larger seed size, and greater dollar value return per hectare compared with the check cultivars, Gregory, Perry, and NC‐V 11. Georgia‐08V also had significantly higher yield, ELK percentage, and dollar value than Georgia Hi‐O/L and was also found to have the largest seed size of all of the virginia‐type cultivars tested, including ‘Georgia‐05E’.
