‘Georgia Valencia’ (Reg. no. CV-69, PI 617040) is a new large-podded valencia market type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. fastigiata var. fastigiata) cultivar that was released by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in 2000. It was developed at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Station for the fresh market boiling trade in the southeastern USA.

Georgia Valencia was derived from a cross made in 1990 between Georgia Red (Branch and Hammons, 1987) and UF85I79. Pedigree selection method was practiced within the F₂, F₃, and F₄ segregating populations. Performance testing was begun in the F_4:6 generation with the advanced pure-line selection, GA 952514.

For four consecutive years (1996–1999), Georgia Valencia has produced a significantly higher yield and dollar value return per acre (approximately 30–40%) than Georgia Red, and Georgia Red has produced significantly higher yield (between 35–45%) and dollar value (between 50–70%) compared with ‘New Mexico Valencia A’(Hsi and Finkner, 1972), ‘New Mexico Valencia C’(Hsi, 1980), and ‘Valencia McRan’. Georgia Valencia also has a significantly larger pod size with >25% more fancy pods than Georgia Red, N.M. Valencia A, N.M. Valencia C, and Valencia McRan.

Georgia Valencia is comparable to Georgia Red in disease tolerance, and both are significantly better with 20–40% less total disease incidence than N.M. Valencia A, N.M. Valencia C, and Valencia McRan. Georgia Valencia also is similar to Georgia Red in having a compact bunch growth habit, maturity of between 110–125 d after planting in south Georgia, number seed per pod (averaged 20–25% 4 seed pod^-1, 60–65% 3 seed pod^-1, and 10–15% 2 seed pod^-1), red testa color, protein and oil content, O/L ratio, and roasted and boiled flavor.

U.S. Plant Variety Protection is pending for Georgia Valencia. Breeder seed of Georgia Valencia will be maintained by University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton. Foundation seed stock will be available from the Georgia Seed Development Commission, 2420 S. Milledge Avenue, Athens, GA 30605.
