Abstract
Peanut kernel size can influence response to calcium. While runner market type peanut cultivars often do not require supplemental calcium at flowering, application of gypsum (CaSO 4 ) is routinely recommended for large‐seeded Virginia market type peanut cultivars. However, kernel size varies considerably for Virginia market type peanut. Research was conducted from 2001‐2005 at two locations in North Carolina to determine if the gypsum rate with or without prior potassium application should vary for the Virginia market type peanut cultivars NC‐V 11 (625 kernels/lb seed) and Gregory (450 kernels/lb seed). Although the percentage of total sound mature kernels (%TSMK) was not affected by the interaction of cultivar and gypsum rate, pod yield and the percentage of extra large kernels (%ELK) was affected by this interaction. The interaction of location, year, and gypsum rate was significant for pod yield, %TSMK, and %ELK. Potassium had no major effect on pod yield or market grade characteristics. Seed germination and percentages of calcium deficient kernels were not affected by the interaction of cultivar and gypsum rate but was affected by the main effect of these treatment factors. These data suggest that although differences in peanut response to Virginia market type peanut exist, increasing the rate of gypsum above the rate currently recommended is not necessary for large‐seeded Virginia market type peanut.
