Abstract
This study involved six Spanish type entries (five commercial varieties and a plant introduction) grown in the National Variety Tests in Oklahoma and Georgia under both irrigated and nonirrigated conditions. Significant effects (Georgia vs Oklahoma) were observed on aspartic acid, proline, glycine, valine, isoleucine, peptide, ammonia, and histidine. Significant differences for irrigated vs nonirrigated in the two states for aspartic acid, threonine, proline, glutamic acid, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, peptide, ammonia, and histidine were observed. Significant differences among the six entries were observed for glutamic acid, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, ammonia, histidine, arginine, tryptophan, and total amino acids. None of the treatments produced significant changes in measured amounts of serine, alanine, methionine, and lysine. Significant differences for Georgia vs Oklahoma and irrigated vs nonirrigated for Kjeldahl nitrogen of the whole peanut were noted.
