KINMAN - is a variety with glabrous leaves, stems and pods. Kinman is slightly taller and coarser-stemmed than Brooks. Racemes are small-to-medium-sized and well distributed on the main stem and lateral branches. Kinman is usually 7 days earlier in maturity than Hall and the same maturity as Brooks. This guar variety tends to adapt well to the guar growing areas of Texas and Oklahoma. It displays a high degree of tolerance to major guar diseases, bacterial blight and Alternaria leaf spot. The chief advantages of Kinman are its high yielding ability and excellent regional adaptation.

ESSER - is a variety with glabrous leaves, stems and pods. Esser has stronger main stems and fewer lateral branches than Brooks. It is most similar to Brooks in plant height, seed size, seed color, and maturity. Esser displays a high degree of tolerance to major guar diseases, bacterial blight and Alternaria leaf spot. Esser has shown superior disease tolerance over Brooks and Kinman under severe bacterial blight conditions. Esser lacks the regional adaptation that Kinman has. It is especially adapted to those production areas where bacterial blight is generally prevalent.

LEWIS - is a variety with glabrous leaves, stems and pods. Lewis is considered to be a high yielding, disease-resistant variety. The maturity date for the Lewis variety is similar to Kinman and Esser. It is well adapted to the guar growing regions of Texas. The principle advantage of Lewis is high yield potential due to its excellent regional adaptation and raceme initiation at each node. Lewis is resistant to bacterial blight.
