GEORGIA-10T is a high-yielding, high-grading, high-Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) resistant, large-seeded, runner-type peanut variety that was released by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in 2010.  It was  developed at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton GA.  During three-years (2007-09) averaged over 20 multilocation tests in Georgia, Georgia-10T had significantly less mid-season TSWV incidence and late-season total disease (TD) incidence, higher yield, grade, and dollar value return per acre compared to Georgia-01R. Georgia-10T is most similar to the multiple resistant variety Georgia-01R in later maturity.  During the past three-years (2008-10) at multilocations in Georgia when planted early (mid-April) to increase TSWV disease pressure and planted also in mid-May, Georgia-10T was again found to be among the lowest in TSWV incidence and TD incidence, highest in pod yield, highest in TSMK grade, and highest in dollar value return per acre compared to Tifguard and other runner-type varieties. Georgia-10T should be an excellent variety for an earlier planting option in the southeast because of its high-TSWV
resistance and later maturity.

GEORGIA-10T was developed by Dr. William D. Branch at the University of Georgia’s Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton GA.  It is a protected peanut variety that can only be sold as a class of certified seed and only by individuals licensed by the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF) under guidelines established in conjunction with the Georgia Seed Development Commission (GSDC).
