To develop best management practices to increase the production of high-quality grade peanut kernels.
At Bundaberg, Kairi and Alloway and at Kingaroy, Alloway was the top dry matter producing variety. The dry matter accumulation in pods was fastest in Wheeler at Bundaberg and Alloway at Kingaroy. Partitioning efficiency followed the trend of pod dry matter production.

| Sowing machinery |
A precision planting 20/20® and vSet® electronic seed metering system, which in a single run sowed two rows spaced at 85 cm apart on 180 cm beds |
| Sow date | 8 December 2021 |

| Fungicide | Not specified |
| Other trial notes |
The trials were conducted at Bundaberg and Kingaroy -two key peanut production sites to better understand how peanut varieties with different plant architecture types and population densities impact critical yield formation growth stages of flowering and pegging in peanuts. La Niña was in place during the last two Southern Hemisphere summers. Very wet towards maturity favouring disease and water logging development and hamper harvesting operations.
