English Name: Peanut
Scientific Name: Arachis hypogea
Agriculturist's Fun Fact
Peanuts are premier Nitrogen-fixers. They host specialized bacteria in their root nodules that "grab" nitrogen from the air. In organic rotations, they are often used as a pre-crop to naturally charge the soil with nutrients before planting "heavy feeders" like corn or cabbage.
