What row and plant spacing is suitable for growing peanuts?
When growing peanuts, generally in the south, double-seed drilling with a row spacing of about 25-35cm and a plant spacing of about 15-30cm is best; single-seed drilling with a row spacing of 7.5-15cm and a plant spacing of about 7.5-15cm is best. In the north, single-row ridge planting with a row spacing of about 35-45cm and a plant spacing of about 13-15cm is best; double-row ridge planting with a large row spacing of 40-45cm, a small row spacing of about 25-30cm, and a plant spacing of about 15-18cm is best.
Key points for growing peanuts:
1. Soil: The pods of the peanut mainly grow in the soil, and suitable soil is more favorable for the growth of peanuts and for increasing the pod-setting rate, so when choosing soil we should pay attention to selecting soil with a relatively high nutrient and organic matter content, good drainage, and a relatively loose texture for planting. Although the soil of a peanut planting site should be relatively loose, sandy land is usually not considered, because its water-holding capacity is poor and the peanuts are prone to withering and dying.
2. Fertilizer and water: The fertilizer and water management of peanuts is relatively important, and it differs somewhat from other crops. If the base fertilizer is sufficient, peanuts usually do not need a second fertilization, because later fertilization instead reduces the peanut yield, causing a phenomenon of only growing seedlings without setting peanuts, so at the beginning it is best to apply enough base fertilizer. Next, if the nutrients are insufficient, it is best to apply additional fertilizer in the early stage of peanut growth, so as to reduce its impact on peanuts. Peanuts generally also do not need watering, as natural rainfall is enough to let peanuts grow, and at the same time drainage is also needed when necessary.
3. Disease prevention: During the entire growth process of peanuts, there are actually few diseases, but there are still insect pests. Usually, when the peanut leaves are relatively green, many leaf-eating insects appear, and at this time we should use chemicals to spray and kill them. Next, when the peanuts are about to mature, there will be many underground pests and field mice and the like harming the peanut pods, so we can use chemicals to drench the roots, and at the same time use trapping methods to trap and kill the field mice.
