A Detailed Explanation of the Key Points of New High-Yield Peanut Cultivation Techniques

Prepare a plot of relatively loose soil, plow deeply and apply fertilizer. Then select some healthy, plump seeds of high-yield varieties, sun-dry them for one day, sow them into the soil at a row-to-plant spacing of 20*40cm, and finally cover with soil and scatter a thin layer of fertilizer. After the seedlings emerge, just do the basic management work such as thinning and filling in the seedlings, and water and fertilizer management. But if you want high yield, come and take a look with the editor at new high-yield peanut cultivation techniques.

1. Land preparation and fertilizer application

Peanuts like relatively loose soil. If the soil is too sticky or too hard, it is not suitable for peanut growth, so it is best to choose relatively loose loam soil for planting. However, continuous cropping is also not suitable, as this results in low soil organic matter content and more serious pests and diseases. After choosing the soil, plow it deeply 3-4 times to fully mature and loosen it. Then apply base fertilizer. Generally, apply 2000-300 kg of decomposed farmyard manure per mu, or apply 300 kg of compound fertilizer per mu.

2. Seed selection and sowing

To grow peanuts with high yield and good quality, when selecting seeds you should choose plump, larger seeds for planting, and sow them after sun-drying. When sowing, the hole-sowing method is generally used, opening holes at a plant-to-row spacing of 20×40 cm, placing 3-4 seeds in each hole, and then covering with a thin layer of soil after sowing. To promote seedling growth, you can scatter a thin layer of fertilizer on the surface. In addition, pay attention to temperature. If the temperature is too low, the germination rate of peanut seeds will be relatively low, so cover once with plastic film to keep warm and help them sprout quickly.

3. Thinning and filling in seedlings

When the seedlings have just emerged, check them 1-2 times every day in a timely manner. When the seedlings grow evenly, begin thinning and filling in the seedlings. Where there are missing seedlings, fill them in. Thin out overly dense seedlings in a timely manner, and transplant the overly dense seedlings to the places where seedlings are missing. This makes the seedlings evenly distributed, which will also increase yield and speed up seedling growth.

4. Fertilization

Peanuts are a fertilizer-loving crop. To achieve high and excellent yields, fertilization is essential, especially fertilizers such as calcium and sulfur. During the pod-setting stage, be sure to apply calcium fertilizer and sulfur fertilizer, and also pay attention to supplementing boron and molybdenum elements to ensure sufficient nutrition for peanuts and promote their growth. Generally, apply 10-15 kg of gypsum per mu, usually applied 15-25 days after the pegs enter the soil; at the early flowering stage, spray 45-65 kg of 0.2% borax solution per mu; during the growth period, use 50 kg of 0.1% ammonium molybdate aqueous solution for foliar spraying 1-2 times.

In short, to achieve high peanut yield, in addition to selecting good seeds and good land, it is also necessary to do the basic work well, such as thinning and filling in seedlings and rational fertilization, so that peanuts will produce a higher yield.
