Peanut pod maturity is estimated from images of pod-blasted peanuts. After pressure washing peanuts, towel dry them and spread them out on a high contrast background (neon colors work well: pink, blue, green). Do not allow pod surface to air-dry as this will affect colors used for models. Try to use samples thoroughly pod-blasted, with little to no exocarp (outer hull) remaining. Upload your image here, use the cropping tool to only include your sample against the high contrast background, and click submit. You will be directed to a report page displaying your results.
This application was developed by Clemson University’s Center for Agricultural Technology (CU-CAT) in collaboration with University of Georgia’s Bugwood Institute. Thank you to the National Peanut Board for funding support, putting peanut farmers’ dollars to work for peanut farmers!
