Abstract

The study was developed in an area of one block, owned by Mr. Marvin Calderón, located in Yaoya Community, municipality of Siuna. The objective was to compare the physical-chemical state of the soil in pastures with and without fodder peanut (Arachis pintoi). It is quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, longitudinal and descriptive study and the observational technique was used. It is concluded that the Arachis pintoi is a species that contributes to the improvement of the soil quality and it is recommended the use of agronomic practices before and after establishing the same. The establishment of Arachis pintoi and the grass plot without it cost C$ 7,377.00 in total.
