Interpretive Summary: Peanut production in Oklahoma is generally located in 3 geographical regions across the state: south western, west central and far west. Each region differs from the others in environmental and biological stressors that affect crop production, so the same peanut cultivar will likely perform differently in each growing region. Therefore, the Oklahoma Peanut Variety Trials are conducted in each region annually and are designed to test the performance of commonly grown cultivars and potential cultivar releases against each other. Results of these annual trials can serve as a guide for producers when choosing a cultivar to plant. Performance of runner varieties depended on location but averages across locations and years indicate that cultivars Lariat, Webb and Tamrun OL11 top the entries in value per acre. No significant differences were seen among spanish entries across locations and over years, but cultivars Tamrun OL06 and OLé performed best numerically. The high-oleic virginia-type cultivar Contender numerically out-yielded all other virginia entries across locations in 2018 and across years and locations for 2017-2018.

Technical Abstract: State-wide peanut variety trials were conducted in three Oklahoma locations. Performance of runner, Spanish and Virginia entries were assessed. Performance of runner varieties depended on location but averages across locations and years indicate that cultivars Lariat, Webb and Tamrun OL11 top the entries in value per acre. No significant differences were seen among spanish entries across locations and over years, but cultivars Tamrun OL06 and OLé performed best numerically. The high-oleic virginia-type cultivar Contender numerically out-yielded all other virginia entries across locations in 2018 and across years and locations for 2017-2018.
