  24. Organic Peanut Production demand exceeds supply GA leading authority in peanuts, except in organics published results first showing economical feasibility of organic peanut production in GA Seeding Rates for Large-Seeded Runners cost of large-seeded runners 20-25% higher than GG no adverse impact of reducing seed rate from 6 to 5 SPF at planting in single row pattern savings of $25-$30 per acre possible, with potential savings of over $7.5 million to GA farmers (+ 5.6 million lbs. peanuts available for seed or edible mkt.) Achievements – Impact

  25. Inoculant vs. Fertilizer Effects on Peanut peanut inoculants can greatly improve production application of N fertilizer detrimental to nodulation results show up to 25% yield increase with use of inoculant in “virgin” peanut fields, + $110 / ac benefit Systems / Tillage / Agronomic Concerns sought for advisement on advantages / disadvantages of various management practices in peanut Tillage, row pattern, cover cropping, rotational concerns, inoculant formulations, seeding rates, planter issues, etc. Achievements – Impact
