Peanuts: Organic Production (Summary)
Peanuts: Organic Production (Summary)
This publication notes that people interested in growing
peanuts and experienced peanut growers considering a switch to organic
production may find a high demand for organic peanuts and enjoy
premiums over traditionally grown peanuts. However, labor and
management costs can be much higher for organic peanuts than
conventionally grown peanuts. In place of off-farm inputs, organic
peanut farmers can use intensive management, maintain high soil
fertility, manage weeds through hand hoeing and specialized equipment,
and manage insects with alternative strategies.
