How can peanuts be grown for high yield? Please introduce the cultivation methods.
To grow peanuts, you can refer to the following methods:
1. The key to good seed selection: For high-yield irrigated land, choose the peanut varieties Fenghua No. 1 and Huayu No. 16; for semi-dry plots, choose Huayu No. 17 and Luhua No. 8. Huayu No. 16 is a high-yield, high-quality variety with large pods and large kernels. The pods and kernels are suitable for export, store well, the plant is tall, the leaves are dark green, and it has high disease resistance. Generally, a single plant produces more than 50 pods. It is suitable for spring and summer sowing, with a growth period of about 120 days. This variety has an oil content as high as over 40%, making it a high-oil variety. The pods and kernels are dark red, with high commercial value, and the kernel yield reaches about 80%. With plastic film mulching, the yield exceeds 1,000 jin. Huayu No. 17 is a typical export variety with large pods and large kernels, a compact plant shape, concentrated pod set, large pod type, light yellow kernels, good storability, and suitability for food processing. It is a good variety for export. With 8,000-10,000 hills per mu, the yield can exceed 1,000 jin. It has good drought resistance and strong adaptability, and can be promoted on irrigated land and semi-dry land.
2. The key to pest and disease control: At sowing time, apply 2.5 kg of phoxim granules per mu and scatter them into the furrows. In mid-July, use 2.5 kg of phoxim emulsion mixed with 75 kg of water and pour it around the plants to control underground pests. In the middle stage, spray omethoate to control armyworms, aphids, and cotton bollworms. Use 100 g of 75% carbendazim per mu as a spray to control leaf spot disease.
3. The key to formula fertilization: Apply 50 kg of ternary compound fertilizer (each containing 15%) per mu, broadcast it along the rows at the rosette stage, and then water. When peanuts enter the flowering stage, carry out intertillage and weeding, and open furrows and earth up to welcome the pegs, which can increase the pod-setting rate. Be careful to avoid damaging the roots.
4. The key to harvesting: Harvesting must follow the season. Generally, interplanted peanuts are harvested around Xiaoman. Therefore, at harvest time, digging is generally done after the Autumn Equinox, about 120 days into the growth period. If harvested too early, there will be too many shriveled pods, affecting yield.
