New Peanut Variety
Increases Crop Value
COLLEGE STATION-A
new Spanish peanut variety
just released by the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion is expected to outshine its
predecessor in cash production
value.
Dr. Olin Smith, peanut
breeder at Texas A&M Uni-
versity, said that Tamspan 90
averaged more than 10 percent
higher gross value per acre
return than Starr, the Spanish
peanut variety that has been
the most popular in Texas for
about 25 years.
In more than 20 tests across
the state from 1987-89, Smith
said, the Tamspan 90 averaged
about $900 per acre compared
to almost $814 per acre for
Starr.
“We think Tamspan 90 will
provide some protection
(against diseases) and help
yields, which means more dol-
lars for the farmer,” Smith
said.
The added value could mean
a $10 million boost to the state’s
peanut industry.
The new variety has resis-
tance to two major soilborne
diseases of the peanut: sdero-

tinia blight and pod rot. By not
contracting these diseases,
Smith explained, the healthier
crop should produce more.
Smith said the development
of Tamspan can be traced to
1976 when the first cross wu
made. He said the vegetative
growth and physical appear-
ance are similar to Starr, but
the seed size is larger.
Of some 260,000 acres of
peanuts in Texas, about 120,-
000 are Spanish varities, ac-
cording to Dr. Ed Colburn,
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service peanut agronomist.
Most Spanish peanuts are pro-
duced on dryland acres, he
said.
Tamspan 90 seed was releas-
ed by the Foundation Seed
Service at Texas A&M. Com-
mercial seed companies will
increase the supplies and make
the planting seed available to
growers.
