What fertilizer is best for newly planted peanuts, and how should it be applied

1. Applying farmyard manure

1. Farmyard manure: If you grow peanuts at home, to ensure the peanuts are more green, it is best to apply farmyard manure, that is, animal manure, including pig manure, chicken manure, etc. Note that when applying farmyard manure, you must ensure the fertilizer is fully decomposed.

2. How to ferment: Farmyard manure is generally fermented by composting, that is, piling the farmyard manure on the ground and covering the pile with a layer of soil to prevent insects from laying eggs. The higher the temperature, the faster the fermentation. Generally, 3-6 months of composting will make it decomposed.

3. How to apply: Farmyard manure can be applied as a base fertilizer and a topdressing. Before planting peanuts, that is, while preparing the land, apply farmyard manure as a base fertilizer and mix it into the soil where the peanuts will be planted. Later, as the peanuts grow, farmyard manure can be applied as a topdressing in several split applications.

2. Applying chemical fertilizers

1. Chemical fertilizers: If peanuts are grown in large fields and the peanuts are grown for sale, and you want the peanuts to reach the maximum high yield, it is best to apply chemical fertilizers. The most commonly used are urea and superphosphate, which supply nutrients to the peanuts as fertilizer.

2. How to apply: Before deep plowing and land preparation, mix urea and superphosphate into the soil to supply the plants with nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, and also mix in a small amount of plant ash to supplement potassium fertilizer for the plants. Later, as the plants grow, apply topdressing as appropriate.
