Default Re: Bananas and legumes for the nitrogen.

Perennial peanut has been used in citrus groves, but just to supplement the normal fertility program. Bananas are generally planted to close to allow a legume to photosynthesize much. They also would tend to compete with the banana ver effectively with potassium. Their are bacteria that form an associative nitrogen fixing relationship with bananas, but you are unlikely to produce nearly enough nitrogen to to produce optimal yields.
