Mistakes when planting peanuts

Peanuts are a thermophilic plant from the legume family. They are called peanuts because they have a nutty flavor when roasted. Despite the fact that peanuts are popular in many countries of the world, they are grown only in the southern regions. To other climatic conditions, peanuts adapt quite hard, so this culture is considered exotic in our gardens. Consider the most common mistakes when planting and growing peanuts, as well as ways to increase the yield of peanuts.

Improper planting preparation and lack of treatment

Because peanuts are considered a nut by many, they are improperly processed prior to planting or not processed at all. You cannot plant unsprouted peanuts in the ground, otherwise it will not rise. To quickly get seedlings, as well as a good harvest, the planting material must be soaked in a growth stimulant solution for 6-8 hours. For sprouting peanuts, you can use "Epin" or "Kornevin". After processing, the germination of peanuts increases.

Wrong landing site

Due to the fact that the peanut grows like nightshade crops and forms tubers from several fruits, it is watered abundantly. Excess water causes the peanuts to rot and the peanuts do not germinate. He loves direct sunlight and does not tolerate stagnant water.

In order to get a good harvest, you need to reduce watering and plant the beans in a sunny place.

Planting peanuts

Sprouted peanuts are planted in furrows 5 cm deep. The distance between the furrows should be at least 20 cm, as in the future it will be necessary to well spud the peanuts. The more you spud the seedlings, the more space will get peanuts for growth, and the greater the harvest will be.

The soil for planting peanuts should be loose. Peanuts respond well to top dressing, so add nitroammofoska and potassium-containing to the soil together with the sand fertilizer.

Since peanuts can rot in the soil, sprouted beans should be planted in pairs. This will ensure you get seedlings. The distance between the peanuts should be 5 cm.

After planting the sprouted beans in open ground, the soil is disinfected with a hot solution of potassium permanganate of a saturated purple color. In this way, you will not only disinfect the soil, but also warm up the soil, which will increase the germination of peanuts and increase the yield of peanuts. As soon as the first shoots appear, the soil is loosened, and then the peanuts are hilled.
