Breeding and Cultivation of New Peanut Variety Fuhua7 with High Protein and High O/L Ratio

A new peanut variety Fuhua7 was bred from the cross between zhanyou41 and 9817-36-2 by using hybrid pedigree method in the spring 2002. Fuhua7 took part in spring peanut variety regional tests in Jiangxi province in 2009 to 2010.Its average pod yield and seed yield were 4680.2 kg穐m-2 and 3234.2 kg穐m-2, and increased by 5.62% and 6.94% compared to Shanyou523, respectively. The crude fat content, protein content and oleic acid/linoleic acid value of the seed was 52.02%, 30.19% and 1.35, respectively. The variety had high drought resistance, medium flooding and lodging tolerance, lighter leaf spot, rust resistance, bacterial wilt susceptivity, higher and more stable yield.
