Our company is the leading organisation involved in exporting, manufacturing and supplying of Groundnut seed in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. Groundnut or peanut as it is also called is a four-foliate legume with yellow sessile flowers and subterranean fruits. The main use of groundnut is as a source of edible oil, but the high oil and protein contents also make it an important food crop. In trade, the bold-seeded types are referred to as Virginia, the small seeded as Spanish, and a third type Runner is also recognized. The flowers are born in the axils of the leaves mostly near the base of plant and have generally yellow petals. It is a self pollinated crop. After fertilization stalk of ovary elongates and forms peg which contains fertilized ovules at the tip. The growth of peg is positively geotropic until it penetrates soil to some depth (7 cm). The tip then becomes diageotropic and ovary starts developing into a fruit called pod which contains seeds. Generally it takes about 60 days from fertilization to full pod maturity.
