Registration of ‘Georgia‐10T’ Peanut

Abstract

‘Georgia‐10T’ (Reg. No. CV‐113, PI 660315) is a high‐yielding, large‐seeded, runner‐type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea) cultivar that is resistant to Tomato spotted wilt virus and that was released by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in 2010. It was developed at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. Georgia‐10T originated from a cross made between ‘Georgia‐02C’ and ‘Georgia‐01R’. Pedigree selection was practiced within the early‐segregating generations. Performance testing began in the F4:6 generation with the advanced pure‐line selection, GA 052529, which was the experimental designation of Georgia‐10T. During three‐years (2007–2009) averaged over 20 multilocation tests in Georgia, Georgia‐10T had significantly less midseason TSWV incidence and late‐season total disease incidence, higher yield, grade, and dollar value return per hectare compared with Georgia‐01R. Georgia‐10T is most similar to Georgia‐01R and should be an excellent cultivar for an early‐planting date option in the southeast U.S. peanut production area.
