Peanut variety trial. Photo: University of Arkansas To assess field performance of multiple peanut cultivars in one of the major peanut growing counties in Arkansas, Mississippi County, an on-farm field trial was established. The cultivars (Table 1) were planted on May 15 at a seeding rate of 6 seed/ft of row. Plots consisted of two, 30-ft-long rows spaced 38-in apart separated by a 10-ft fallow alley. Seed was provided by Foundation seed in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Oklahoma.
