Pongamia Variety in Florida; Planted October 2012

Pongamia: A “drop-in” oilseed tree that re- establishes the value of underproductive agricultural land + Produces oilseeds annually. Oil usable in chemicals, fuels, crop spray, etc. Seedcake by-product useful as animal feed, soil amendment, etc + Harvested for millennia as an indigenous crop in India + Grown for decades in Florida’s horticultural landscapes + Can be dropped into existing infrastructure of citrus groves + Mechanized harvesting: same shaker equipment as nut crops, not labor intensive + Shelling, seed crushing & oil extraction uses standard equipment + Multiple downstream markets + Nitrogen fixing legume; carbon sequestration & carbon credits + Potential for intercropping / agroforestry systems About Pongamia: Pongamia on distressed citrus land in South Florida (source: TerViva)
