Georgia-SP/RKN

‘Georgia-SP/RKN’ (Reg. no. CV-151, PI 700991), is a high-yielding, large-seeded spanish market type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivar with high total sound mature kernel percentage, high oleic to linoleic fatty acid ratio, high level of resistance to Tomato spotted wilt virus (Family Tospoviridae, genus Orthotospovirus), and full resistance to root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal)]. Georgia-SP/RKN was released in 2021 by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station and was developed and tested as GA 082549R-2 at the University of Georgia's Coastal Plains Experiment Station at the Tifton Campus, Tifton, GA. Georgia-SP/RKN exhibits pod yields similar to ‘Georgia-04S’ and ‘Georgia-17SP’, and pod yields are consistently higher than other commercially available spanish cultivars in the southeastern United States. High grade quality and the added benefit of root-knot nematode resistance could make this high-oleic spanish market-type cultivar a good fit for the confectionary market.
