Screening and Comprehensive Evaluation of New High-yield and High-quality Peanut Varieties in Nan’an City

In order to screen out the new green peanut varieties with high yield, high quality, and disease resistance which were suitable for being planted in Nan’an City, 12 new peanut varieties were introduced in the spring of 2024 to carry out the field experiments at Zhongqin Family Farm in Nan’an City, Fujian Province. The agronomic characters, high yield, stress resistance and adaptability of the tested peanut varieties were comprehensively compared with those of Shanyou 71, a peanut variety with a large annual planting area in Nan’an City. The results showed that the pod yield of Quanhua 28 and Quanhua 29 and the seed kernel yield of Quanhua 28, Puhua 60 and Quanhua 551 were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05), and the comprehensive characters of these varieties, such as plant traits and fruit traits, were excellent. It was recommended to expand the demonstration planting experimentally in the next year. The comprehensive traits such as yield, stress resistance, adaptability, plant traits and fruiting traits of Fuhua 0947 and Puhua 45 were better. It was suggested that Fuhua 0947 and Puhua 45 should be tested in the next year to further observe their trial planting performance.
