Registration of ‘Georgia‐07W’ Peanut

Abstract

‘Georgia‐07W’ (Reg. No. CV‐102, PI 652441) is a high‐yielding, large‐seeded, runner‐type peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea ) cultivar with resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and white mold ( Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc.). It was developed at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Stations at Tifton, GA, and was released by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in 2007. Georgia‐07W originated from a cross made between ‘C‐99R’ × ‘Georgia Green’. Pedigree selection was practiced within the early‐segregating generations. Performance testing began in the F 4:6 generation with the advanced pure‐line selection, GA 011514, the experimental designation of Georgia‐07W. Averaged over 14 tests conducted at three locations in Georgia during three years (2004–2006), Georgia‐07W had significantly less midseason TSWV incidence and late‐season total disease (TSWV and soilborne disease) incidence, and significantly higher yield, grade, and dollar value return per hectare compared with the two parental check cultivars, C‐99R and Georgia Green, respectively. Georgia‐07W has also shown significantly less white mold and significantly higher pod yield compared with the resistant female parent, C‐99R, when grown in soil with high disease pressure from S. rolfsii
