Wild Peanut Lab Field Trials at Midville
Plants are predominantly elite genetics peanuts from Georgia with small genetic contributions from wild species that bring in new traits like strong pest and disease resistances, for instance against the damaging diseases Late and Early Leaf Spot, and the soil pest root knot nematode.Planting is in a checkboard field pattern and pods are harvested separately from each plant, because each plant is genetically unique.
