BARCG1 Peanut (India)

BARCG1 was one of the peanuts I trialed in 2025 for evaluating oil content and earlyness. It has an oil content of 53.09%, and appears to have the potential to be productive. There is some variability in pod size and skin color ranging from light tan to purple. This peanut was collected in India and entered into the USDA in 1991.
I will be growing these again, given the summer in 2025 was unusual with very hot temperatures and drought conditions. Another factor was the initial germination rate, which was low and took over 3 weeks for the peanuts to emerge. 

* I am making available a small amount of these early trial peanuts. They have not been adapted to my region here in Northern Indiana, and your results may vary. My initial yields were modest at best, but I think they show promise. I would not recommend this variety for growing in zone five and below. I am on the border between zone 5 and 6.
