Okrun

Okrun was developed by the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 1986.  Okrun originated from a cross with Florunner and Spanhoma.   Okrun is classidied commercially as a runner.

Okrun is similar in appearance to Florunner in regards to plants, pods, and seeds.  It requires about the same lengtrh of growing season.  Okrun is vulnerable to all the typical diseases that attack the crop.  But tests in Oklahoma indicate that it has more resistance to leaf spots and pod rots than current commercial runner varieties.   Shelling data and end-use quality tests show Okrun to be equal to or better than Florunner.

Spanco

Spanco was developed by the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 1981.  Spanco is a composite of two sister lines that originated from a cross between Chico and Comet.  Spanco is a high-yielding, early maturing typically Spanish bunch-type peanut with erect growth habit.  Spanco is not as early as Pronto, but is ten days to two weeks earlier than currently grown varieties.

The vegetation is slightly darker than Pronto but is lighter than Florunner.      It has moderate sequential branching with flowers on the main stem.   The deeply restricted tan seed pod normally contains two seeds per pod.
