Abstract

Abstract : 'Sugg' (Reg. No. CV‐125, PI 666112) is a large‐seeded virginia‐type peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea ) cultivar with partial resistance to four diseases that occur commonly in the Virginia–Carolina production area: early leafspot caused by Cercospora arachidicola S. Hori, Cylindrocladium black rot caused by Cylindrocladium parasiticum Crous, Wingfield & Alfenas, Sclerotinia blight caused by Sclerotinia minor Jagger, and tomato spotted wilt caused by the Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus . Sugg was developed as part of a program of selection for multiple disease resistance funded by growers, seed dealers, shellers, and processors. Sugg was tested under the experimental designation N03091T and released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service (NCARS) in 2009. Sugg was tested by the NCARS, the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, and five other state agricultural experiment stations and the USDA–ARS units participating in the Uniform Peanut Performance Tests. Sugg has alternate branching pattern, intermediate runner growth habit, medium green foliage, and high contents of fancy pods and medium virginia‐type seeds. It has seeds with pink testa averaging 957 mg seed −1, approximately 40% jumbo and 46% fancy pods, and extra‐large kernel content of ∼47%. Sugg is named in honor of Norfleet "Fleet" Sugg and the late Joseph "Joe" Sugg, cousins who served consecutively as executive directors of the North Carolina Peanut Growers Association from 1966 through 1993.
