Dr. Monfort provided several comments on planting recommendations based on the month in which you plant. If you are thinking about planting in April, then consider GA-12Y, Arnie, or TUFRunner 725. Peanut growers need to consider using Thimet to help manage TSWV.
Below is a table outlining Dr. Monfort’s concerns and benefits for key peanut varieties as we begin planning for the 2026 peanut production year.
The two tables below present the irrigated and dryland yields from all Georgia on‑farm and small‑plot trials conducted in 2025. Both tables include the number of trials each variety participated in, the average yield, and the yield range.
If you have questions about peanut varieties, please contact your local county Extension agent.
