National Peanut Research Lab (NPRL) | The Uniform Peanut Performance Tests (UPPT) was established in 1973 through an informal arrangement among cooperating scientists involving seven major peanut-producing states. In 1995, plant material transfer agreements were also accepted among all cooperators in the UPPT. The purpose of these tests is to evaluate the commercial potential of advanced peanut breeding lines not formally released. The UPPT continues to serve as a valuable testing arrangement for U.S. peanut breeding programs to measure the adaptability of potential new cultivars over a wide range of diverse environments. |

| Cultivating Efficiency: CALS Extension and research faculty members help Ghana peanut growers with new shelling technology | North Carolina State University | Peanut growers in Ghana who have been part of an educational initiative headed by collaborators in N.C. State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences have a seen their yields double and triple since the program began 13 years ago. But with the increased yields came another problem: The growers couldn’t keep up with higher yield by hand-shelling the peanuts, called “groundnuts” in Africa. | shelling, grading, Ghana |
