2017 Nectarine Variety Listing Table
In Table 1, producers may use the nectarine variety listings to help determine the appropriate yield computation. A nectarine variety’s inclusion on the list does not imply that a specific variety is insurable. Producers should refer to the Special Provisions in the Actuarial Information Browser (AIB) for chilling hour insurability limitations in each county. Within the AIB, relevant data codes are associated with the following states: Alabama (01); Florida (12); Georgia (13); and South Carolina (45).
If a variety is not listed below, please contact the Valdosta Regional Office to request a chilling hour determination and season maturation category.
