Peanuts - How to Grow in farm and it is mostly grow in monsoon season
Peanuts are one of several plants that are nitrogen-fixing plants, which means you don’t need to add nitrogen to the soil to grow them. On the roots are small little nodules that convert the nitrogen in the air to a usable form of nitrogen in the soil, which make peanuts an excellent crop to rotate with plants that have high nitrogen needs, such as corn and tobacco. Without getting too scientific on this, these nodules work with bacteria known as rhizome and work symbiotically with the bacteria, soil, and plant to convert the nitrogen into usable form. These nodules can be seen in the picture below (they are the little small balls).
Peanuts are extremely easy to grow, and can be done with ease, even for beginner gardeners. While they do best when growing in the ground, it is also possible to grow them in containers with decent results. Unlike many other plants, their fertilizer needs are very minimal, and most growers never even have to apply anything to their soil. Calcium is the only nutrient that is occasionally needed to be added for a successful peanut grow (only if soil analysis determines that you’re lacking in calcium). The most important thing to keep in mind for growing peanuts is soil pH – they prefer sandy and/or loose soils rich in organic matter in the pH range of 5.8 – 6.2.
After your plants are sprouted and thinned out, it is now mostly a waiting game. Once plants reach 6 inches, begin cultivating the soil and keep weeds down to a minimum at this point. Placing grass clippings or straw around the plants are a fantastic way to reduce weeds while also allowing the soil to remain loose for pod growth. Also ensure that you give the plants around an inch of water each week if rain doesn’t come regularly, but be sure not to overwater them.
After that, take them to a warm area to hang, and dry them for an additional few weeks. When the peanuts have finished drying, they are now ready to be roasted and processed however you may wish. Raw peanuts store fantastically, and when stored in proper conditions, they can easily store for over a year if frozen – approximately 6 months in fridge. You will want to store them while still in their shell to extend shelf-life. If you see any signs of mold, be sure to dispose of them immediately as the Asperger fungus can grow in those conditions, and is known to be carcinogenic to humans.
I hope it was at least a little helpful!
