BAILEY II was released by North Carolina State University. Bailey II is a high-oleic, high yielding Virginia-type peanut cultivar selected in a conventional breeding program. Bailey II has alternate branching pattern, intermediate runner growth habit, and medium green foliage. Bailey II has approximately 42% jumbo pods, 44% fancy pods, seed with tan seed coat averaging 904 mg seed-1, and extra-large kernel content of 35%. The high-oleic trait produces an array of changes in the fatty acid composition of peanut oil compared with normal-oleic cultivars, most notably the elevation of oleic acid and the reduction of linoleic acid content. Compared to normal-oleic cultivars, it will exhibit extended shelf life. It is most similar to the recurrent parent ‘Bailey’ in yield and disease resistance; although Bailey II will exhibit more jumbo pods, super extra-large kernels, and extra-large kernels. Bailey II is partially resistant to the four most common diseases in the Virginia-Carolina peanut production area: leaf spot, Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR), Sclerotinia blight (SB), and tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV). High oleic testing is required for all classes of certified seed lots. US PROTECTED VARIETY and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed.

EMERY was released by Dr. Tom Isleib. EMERY is a high-oleic large-seeded Virginia type peanut released from Dr. Tom Isleib’s peanut breeding program, initially numbered N010046ol. Growth exhibits alternate branching, intermediate runner growth habit, and medium green foliage. It has approximately 68% jumbo pods, 89% fancy pods, seeds with tan seed coat, super extra-large kernel content of 17%, extra-large kernel content of 32% and 72% total sound mature kernels. Producers of Emery seed will be required to test conditioned seed to verify high oleic composition. Emery is covered by utility patents on high oleic oil chemistry. Only licensed producers may sell this variety for seed and no farmer saved seed is allowed. US VARIETY PROTECTION APPLIED FOR and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed.

NC 20 was released by North Carolina State University and developed by Dr. Jeffrey Dunne. It is a high-oleic, high yielding Virginia-type peanut cultivar. NC 20 has approximately 63.0% jumbo pods and 30.6% fancy pods, seeds with tan seed coat averaging 906 mg seed-1, and extra-large kernel content of approximately 35%.NC 20 has the high-oleic trait that includes modified fatty acid content of the seed oil with elevated oleic fatty acid content and depressed linoleic acid content. This increases the shelf life of the seed and products made from them. NC 20 has alternate branching pattern, decumbent growth habit, and profuse branching. It is moderately resistant to southern stem rot, late leaf spot, Sclerotinia blight, early leaf spot, and tomato spotted wilt virus. It is resistant to Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR). US PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION APPLIED FOR and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed.

NC 21 (NEW) was released by North Carolina State University and developed by Dr. Jeffrey Dunne. It is a high-oleic, high yielding Virginia-type peanut cultivar. NC 21 has yield, pod, seed size and disease package similar to Emery, but is later to mature and holds onto pods under heavy leaf-spot pressure. Limited Availability. US PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION APPLIED FOR and seed can be sold only as a Class of Certified Seed.
