White Peanut seeds (Arachis hypogaea)

LATIN NAME: ARACHIS HYPOGAEA

COMMON NAME: White Peanut

The peanut vines the low, branching annual legume with the pairs of the oval, pinnate leaflets that fold at night, the small, yellow, pea-like flowers along the lower stems, the fertilised stalks bending down to bury the developing pods in the soil, the pale, papery-shelled nuts with the creamy kernels following. It grows quickly into the spreading, low form, and it stands the warm, sunny season well. It likes the sun, and the light, sandy, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The peanut is a quiet constant in the studies of the geocarpic legumes, and the hypogaea species appears in the work on the underground fruiting habit and the oilseed crops. The research looks at the way the fertilised pegs carry the pods into the soil, the kernel oil content, and the seed biology. The agronomists keep the soil-burying habit in view, and the growers of the warm-season field crops list the peanut in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the allotment rows, the peanut sets the yellow flowers low among the leaves, then buries its crop in the warm soil. The creamy kernels serve the kitchens of the world, the haulm feeds the stock, and the plant makes the fine field crop, the garden novelty and the oilseed. It thrives in the light, sandy, sunny ground. Low-flowered, soil-buried and world-fed.

To grow the White Peanut from seed, shell the nuts and plant them in sandy soil.

Shell the nuts and plant them in sandy soil, and keep the young plants in the open, sunny spot. The buried pods fill through the warm season. , setting them a little way down, keep the soil lightly watered, and the young plants rise as the soil warms. The buried pods fill through the warm season.

Latin name: Arachis hypogaea

It is a decorative and yielding peanut variety from Argentina.
Its kernels are small, covered with snow-white skin.
These peanut plants have a long growing season, so their seeds must be prepared as such.
These frost-sensitive plants can be planted outdoors after the presumably last frosts in Spring.
