Collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice. Because of the nature of certain archival formats, including digital and audio-visual materials, access will require additional advanced notice. Copies of digital files may be provided for use in the SCRC Reading Room upon request.
Contained in this collection are field and planting plans, field maps, test result sheets, data notebooks and printouts, and reports, resulting from tests and trials conducted by NC State University's Peanut Breeding Program, 1938-1992.
NC State University has conducted systematic work on peanut breeding since at least the 1930s. The university's crop science faculty developed such seed varieties as NC 1, NC 2, and NC 4, which many North Carolina farmers planted during the mid-twentieth century. During the 1950s, Professor Walter P. Gregory developed NC 4X, "The Atomic Peanut," a variety bred from irradiated seeds. The peanut breeding program developed NC7 by the 1970s. Responding to diseases and pests, as well as other needs of the state's farmers and processors, NC State resarchers have developed numerous varieties since.
