Need to mention peanuts used to reverse nitrogen depletion from soil used to grow cotton. Rotation of crops.
"During the Reconstruction-era South, monoculture of cotton depleted the soil in many areas. In the early 20th century, the boll weevil destroyed much of the cotton crop, and planters and farm workers suffered. Carver's work on peanuts was intended to provide an alternative crop."

It was more than an alternative crop. Peanuts were used to replace the nitrogen, depleted from the soil after growing cotton. Once replaced, cotton could be grown there again. They called this "crop rotation".
