Can planting peanuts in their shells actually achieve high yields?

Planting peanuts in their shells can also achieve high yields. This is because peanut shells are rich in many minerals and trace elements. After they rot, they provide more nutrients to the peanut plant, help the peanut kernels absorb nutrients, and promote seedling growth. This planting method is very suitable for low-temperature and arid regions.

Method for planting peanuts in their shells:

1. Seed selection

Choose high-quality seeds with plump shells and kernels. Peanuts like these grow more easily and develop better, and the shells can absorb more water, making it very easy for the kernels to break through the shell restriction during the germination stage.

2. Pre-planting management

Before planting in shells, choose clear weather to sun-dry the peanuts, but be careful not to expose them to scorching sun. After sun-drying, crack open a small opening in the shell, then soak them in warm water at 35-40 degrees for 10 hours.

3. Planting

Sow the treated seeds in holes 3-5 cm deep. After sowing, cover them with soil. When sowing, carry out reasonable close planting according to the size of the seeds.

4. Field management

After the peanuts emerge, promptly thin and fill in seedlings to ensure a full stand. At different growth stages, also apply calcium fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and other fertilizers in a timely manner; at the same time, do a good job of pest and disease control, especially bacterial wilt, rust, aphids and other pests and diseases.

Planting peanuts in their shells is only suitable for arid and low-temperature regions. In humid areas, planting in shells is very likely to cause rot or missing seedlings, so everyone should decide whether to plant in shells according to the planting conditions of their region.
