This report includes 2024 yield and grade results of the Peanut Variety and Quality Evaluation (PVQE) program. In 2024, PVQE included 30 genotypes: 5 commercial varieties, including ‘Bailey II’,’ Emery’, ‘NC 20’, ‘Sullivan’ and ‘Walton’; and 17 advanced breeding lines developed by the North Carolina State University peanut breeding program and 8 advanced breeding lines developed by the University of Florida (Table 1). All breeding lines have the ‘high oleic acid’ characteristic. Cultivars and lines were planted from May 8 through May 23 at five locations: Tidewater AREC in Suffolk, VA, Slade Farm near Williamston, Martin Co., NC, the Upper Coastal Plain Research Station (UCPRS) near Rocky Mount, NC, McDuffie Farm near Council, NC, and the Edisto Research and Education Center (EREC) in Blackville, SC.
