The UGA Extension peanut team’s play a two-fold role in the sustainability of peanut production in Georgia. The primary role is to support the peanut growers throughout Georgia through the help of Extension agricultural agents located in each county.
Our team provides support through trainings, education and other resources, including:
- Extension newsletters
- Blogs, bulletins and publications
- Classroom and in-field trainings
- Field visits to conduct troubleshooting and in-field diagnostics
- Distance education
- Mass media programs
The Extension peanut team works closely with University of Georgia (UGA) peanut researchers, along with USDA peanut researchers throughout Georgia, the United States and the world, to develop unbiased, research-based production information. The Extension peanut team examines research findings and adapts them to current production practices through applied research trials, on-farm demonstrations, and grower production meetings to ensure they are beneficial for peanut growers.

Irrigation Reference Guide for Corn, Cotton, Peanuts, and Soybeans
A farm’s return on investment is directly affected by the way water is applied to its crops. The wrong end-gun settings can result in overwatering or underwatering large portions of field acres. Clogged or partially clogged nozzles lead to obvious water shortages that can be visually observed or measured using yield monitors. Systems not properly checked and maintained can lead to significant losses in potential income. This irrigation reference guide will contain information provided by UGA Extension recommended irrigation scheduling rates for corn, cotton, peanuts and soybeans. The guide will also recognize specific center pivot application issues and how to correct them.

Peanut Response to Grazon® P+D
Grazon® P+D (picloram + 2,4-D) injury, diagnosed as leaf roll, is occasionally observed in Georgia peanut fields due to the presence of contaminated soil, forage, animal waste (manure/urine), and/or irrigation water. Since peanut plants are very tolerant of low levels of 2,4-D, the primary cause of these leaf roll symptoms is picloram. When this injury occurs, growers are often concerned about how it can potentially influence final peanut yield.

Rapport de recherches sur l’arachide en Haïti
L’arachide est cultivée en Haïti depuis au moins 500 ans et remonte très probablement à la préhistoire. Selon Bartolomé de las Casas, un prêtre qui a accompagné Christophe Colomb lors de son expédition dans le Nouveau Monde et qui est accrédité avec la première description écrite de l’arachide, les Amérindiens indigènes ont cultivé l’arachide comme culture vivrière sur l’île d’Hispaniola avant l’arrivée des Européens. La production d’arachides en Haïti a continué jusqu’à nos jours. C’est une culture populaire parce qu’elle a un prix élevé sur le marché et qu’elle constitue une source de nourriture importante et agréable pour de nombreux Haïtiens. Les arachides séchées se trouvent toute l’année dans la plupart des marchés en plein air, et des produits à base d’arachides fabriqués localement, tels que le beurre d’arachide (y compris les formes sucrée, épicée et non aromatisée) sont couramment vendus dans les magasins et les supermarchés.

Haiti Peanut Research Report
This report summarizes the findings of field trials and basic data collected in Haiti under the Feed the Future Peanut & Mycotoxin Innovation Lab project from 2014-2017. The focus of the research was to improve peanut productivity through management options for foliar diseases, low soil fertility, and other yield-limiting agronomic factors.
