Disease-Resistant Hybrids 01/20/22 Allison Floyd
Using proven production practices to fight disease in the field, Georgia farmers produce half the peanuts grown in the U.S. each year.

This results in excessive wilting, which causes well-intentioned gardeners to literally water their plants to death.
