Non Technical Summary
Before being released, every virginia-type breeding line is compared to standard cultivars and a full dossier of cultural and quality information is obtained. Thorough comparisons make it possible to predict the likelihood of success for a variety within the peanut industry. In summary, the project will select for superior virginia-type peanut varieties to grow this segment of the peanut industry.

Goals / Objectives
(1) To examine the yield, grade, quality, maturity, insect and disease response of advanced virginia-type peanut breeding lines and released cultivars in replicated tests within key growing areas; (2) to develop a database for virginia-type peanut genotypes allowing knowledge-based selection for release of adapted cultivars that will meet all of the criteria for market success within the peanut industry within the respective states.
Project Methods
Replicated small-plot trials (PVQE tests) will be conducted at multiple locations in Virginia (2 locations), North Carolina (3 locations), and South Carolina (1 location). Breeder tests will be established at multiple locations to facilitate pre-screening for selection of virginia-type peanut genotypes for PVQE trials. Entries for PVQE trials will be lines with desirable traits selected from the breeder tests. Within the PVQE small-plot tests, all selected virginia-type genotypes will be compared to standard cultivars currently in production. All genotypes in PVQE tests will be thoroughly evaluated for quality factors and judged against industry standards. Data will be analyzed and presented to a PVQE Advisory Committee for scrutiny before selecting genotypes for increase and further evaluation for potential release as cultivars. Runner cultivars will be compared in Virginia and North Carolina to determine their potential for use by producers.

Progress 01/01/08 to 12/31/08

Outputs
OUTPUTS: Forty-eight experimental lines or cultivars were evaluated at Florence, SC for agronomic performance. Samples were then sent to the Tidewater AREC in Suffolk, VA for grade and quality evaluation. PARTICIPANTS: Not relevant to this project. TARGET AUDIENCES: Not relevant to this project. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.

Impacts
The S. C. site in addition to five other test sites in North Carolina and Virginia were used to evaluate agronomic and quality performance of experimental lines. Results are available in: Balota, M. and F. M. Shokes. 2008. Peanut variety and quality evaluation results. Virginia Polytechnic and State University Information Series 488 and 489.
