GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida agronomist Ken Quesenberry poses with perennial peanut plants growing on the UF main campus (Monday, June 28, 2010). A relative of the popular food crop, perennial peanut has been used for decades as livestock forage. This spring, UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences announced release of two varieties suitable for use as a lawn or groundcover.
