GEORGIA-01R is a new
multiple pest resistant runner-type peanut variety that
was released in 2001 by the Georgia Agricultural
Experiment Stations. It was developed at the University
of Georgia’s Coastal Plain Experiment Station in
Tifton, GA. Georgia-01R has shown good resistance to
tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), both early and late
leafspots, Cylindrocladium black rot
(CBR), stem rot or white mold, and
|
leafhoppers,
which should be beneficial in lowering production costs.
When grown with recommended or reduced pesticides,
Georgia-01R was found to have a significantly lower
percentage of disease incidence, higher yield, grade, and
gross dollar value return per acre than C-99R, DP-1 and
Hull. However, Georgia-01R has the same late maturity and
spreading runner growth habit as these other commercial
peanut varieties.

Georgia-01R was
developed by Dr. William D. Branch at the University of
Georgia’s Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton
GA. It is a protected peanut variety that can only be
sold as a class of certified seed and only by individuals
licensed by the Georgia Seed Development Commission
(GSDC) under guidelines established in conjunction with
the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF).
