PEANUTS VARIETY INFORMATION
RUNNER
Tamrun OL11
A high-yielding, high-oleic, runner-type peanut cultivar developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research. It has improved resistance to Sclerotinia minor (Jagger) and improved grade attributes over previously released runner-type cultivars that are resistant to S. minor. Tamrun OL11 is specifically developed for the West Texas growing region.
AG-18
A high-yielding, high grading, high-oleic runner-type peanut cultivar released from Texas A&M AgriLife Research with good resistance to Sclerotinia blight (Sclerotinia minor (Jagger)). It exhibits yield and grade attributes equal to or better than Georgia 06G and Georgia 09B and increased consistency when compared to Tamrun OL11. AG18 seed size is smaller than that of Tamrun OL11 and similar to Florunner. No differences in flavors were noted in flavor analysis between AG18 and Tamrun OL11.
100-seed weight: AG18 – 62.7 g (GA09B – 67.5 g)
Tamrun OL18L
A high yielding, high-oleic, early maturing runner-type peanut cultivar that was released from Texas A&M AgriLife Research with a larger than average seed size. Its maturity is comparable to Tamrun OL12 which is 14 days earlier maturing than Flavorunner 458. Yield was similar to Georgia 09B, but was higher than Tamrun OL11. The seed size was similar to Tamrun OL07 and Webb. No differences in flavors were noted in flavor analysis between Tamrun OL18L and check cultivars.
Tamrun OL19
A high-yielding, high oleic, early-maturing runner-type peanut cultivar that was released from Texas A&M AgriLife Research. It is approximately 7 days earlier maturing than Tamrun OL07 and 7 days later than Tamrun OL12 in five years of testing. Yield was similar to Georgia 09B, but was higher than Tamrun OL11. The seed size is similar to Tamrun OL11, but larger than Georgia 09B. No differences in flavors were noted in flavor analysis between Tamrun OL18L and check cultivars.
NemaTAM II
A high-yielding, high oleic fatty acid, large seeded runner-type peanut cultivar with resistance to root-knot nematodes. The cultivar was developed by the Texas A&M AgriLife Research peanut breeding program to provide growers with a nematode resistant replacement option for the former Webb cultivar which had excellent nematode resistance, but also had a very large vine size that made harvest difficult for peanut farmers. NemaTAM II maintains the resistance to root-knot nematodes of Webb, has proven to yield equal to or better than Webb, and has higher grade potential. NemaTAM II has a shorter canopy than Webb which leads to easier digging and inverting at harvest than its predecessor.
Murray
A high-yielding, high oleic fatty acid, medium seeded runner-type peanut cultivar with resistance to Root-knot nematodes. The cultivar was released by Texas A&M AgriLife Research to provide growers with a nematode resistant option with a smaller seed size. Murray maintains the excellent resistance to Root-knot nematodes of NemaTAM II but offers a smaller seed size which is more in line with previous industry standards and higher-grade potential.
SPANISH
Schubert
A high-yielding, high-oleic, early-maturing spanish-type peanut cultivar with improved shell-out. It was developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research. Schubert matures approximately 1 to 2 wk earlier than OLin and has significantly higher yield and grade. Resistance to Sclerotinia minor (Jagger) was comparable to Tamspan 90.
OLin
A high-oleic medium maturity spanish-type peanut developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research. It has Sclerotinia minor (Jagger) resistance and seed size is comparable Tamspan 90. Pod and seed sizes are slightly smaller than Tamspan 90 with occasional three seeded pods. The yield of OLin will be slightly less than Tamspan 90, but grades (TSMK) will be slightly higher.
Tamnut OL06
A high yielding, large seeded, high oleic, spanish-type peanut cultivar released from Texas A&M AgriLife Research. Maturity and Sclerotinia minor (Jagger) resistance data indicate it is equal to that of Tamspan 90 and OLin. Tamnut OL06 exhibits improved yield of 10% over OLin.
VALENCIA
TamVal OL14
A high yielding, high-oleic valencia-type peanut cultivar developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research. The release represents the first high-oleic cultivar in the valencia-type market class. TamVal OL14 has exhibited moderate resistance to Sclerotinia minor (Jagger) and has averaged 600 lbs/ac increased yield over New Mexico Valencia C in 4 years of testing.
