Arachis pintoi Distribution

Arachis pintoi is a plant that originates from the South American continent, specifically Brazil. Initially this plant was introduced from Singapore by several golf course entrepreneurs, but now it is often found in office parks, shops, hospitals, housing complexes and street gardens. The benefits of the Arachis pintoi plant include inhibiting the growth of weeds/cover crops, preventing erosion, land rehabilitation (potentially helping soil fertility as a result of biological nitrogen fixation), and as animal feed (the leaves contain high levels of protein and good for digestion). Apart from that, the leaves of this ornamental bean are also used as traditional medicine in the Bikol area.
Agroecology of Arachis pintoi
Ornamental beans grow in humid tropical and subtropical areas. This plant is found at an altitude of 1,400 m above sea level. It grows best in areas with annual daytime temperatures ranging from 22-28 °C, but can survive temperatures of 12-30 °C. Shoot growth is stopped by frost, but the plant can regrow from the tap root if the frost is light. This plant prefers an average annual rainfall of around 1,500-2,000 mm, but can survive rainfall of 900-3,000 mm, and can survive dry periods of up to 4 months. This plant grows best in shade, but is also tolerant of full sun. Grows well in most soil types, preferring fertile soil but does well in low fertility soil. These ornamental beans do not thrive well in heavy clay soils, or in any soil that forms a hard layer after rain, because the developing seed pods cannot penetrate the soil and die. This plant can tolerate low salt levels in the soil and prefers well-drained soil, but can tolerate waterlogging. Prefers a pH in the range of 5.4 - 6, tolerates 4.5 - 7.5.
