Achievements – Impact
Organic Peanut Production
demand exceeds supply
GA leading authority in peanuts, except in organics
published results first showing economical feasibility
of organic peanut production in GA
Seeding Rates for Large-Seeded Runners
cost of large-seeded runners 20-25% higher than GG
no adverse impact of reducing seed rate from 6 to 5
SPF at planting in single row pattern
savings of $25-$30 per acre possible, with potential
savings of over $7.5 million to GA farmers (+ 5.6
million lbs. peanuts available for seed or edible mkt.)
Achievements – Impact
Inoculant vs. Fertilizer Effects on Peanut
peanut inoculants can greatly improve production
application of N fertilizer detrimental to nodulation
results show up to 25% yield increase with use of
inoculant in “virgin” peanut fields, + $110 / ac benefit
Systems / Tillage / Agronomic Concerns
sought for advisement on advantages / disadvantages
of various management practices in peanut
Tillage, row pattern, cover cropping, rotational concerns,
inoculant formulations, seeding rates, planter issues, etc.
