Description Legumes are important sources of dietary proteins and fats in developing
countries of the semiarid tropics where peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one
of the important food legume crops. It is a rich source of protein (23 per-
cent) and edible oil (43 percent; Norden, 1980) and is considered one of the
principal economic crops of the world. The genus Arachis belongs to the
subfamily Papilionaceae of the family Fabaceae. It is native to South Amer-

80) species.................
