1. Basic introduction to peanuts
Peanut is an annual herbaceous plant of the Fabaceae family, Arachis genus. The roots of peanuts are rich in root nodules, the leaves are papery and opposite, the pods are inflated and the pod walls are thick, and the flowering and fruiting period is from June to August.
The main distribution areas of peanuts are Brazil, China, Egypt and other places. In our country, the planting areas are very wide, generally distributed in Liaoning, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Jilin and other provinces (regions).
Among them, Shandong Province is the province with the widest peanut planting area and the highest peanut yield in our country.
Peanuts are suitable for planting in sandy soil areas with a warm climate, a relatively long growing season and moderate rainfall.
In different regions of China, they form cropping systems with other crops of one crop a year, three crops in two years, and two or three crops a year, thus giving rise to spring peanuts, wheat-intercropped peanuts, summer peanuts and autumn peanuts. In some areas of Guangdong, winter peanuts can also be planted.
2. How many days after planting peanuts can you apply herbicide?
After planting peanuts, herbicide is generally applied at the stage when peanuts have 3 leaves and weeds have 2-4 leaves. When applying the pesticide, it should be done before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. If weeding is too late, manual pulling should be used, and once weeds are found, they should be controlled as soon as possible.
The timing of use for different peanut herbicides is also not exactly the same. When using them, it is best to refer to the instructions, or ask the seller clearly about the method of using the peanut herbicide at the time of purchase, to ensure that it has little effect on peanuts after use.
