How many days does the summer peanut growing period last?

The growth process of summer peanuts can be divided into five stages, namely seed germination, emergence, seedling stage, flowering and needle-setting stage, podding stage, and fruit maturity stage. When summer peanuts grow, pay attention to giving them appropriate light.

Summer peanut growing period

The growing period of summer peanuts is generally 3-4 months, about 100 days. There are some late-maturing summer peanut varieties with a growing period of 180 days. Summer peanuts are generally planted in June each year, and summer peanuts mature in September-October.

Summer peanut growing conditions

Summer peanuts are suitable for growing in flat terrain, loose soil and soil with strong drainage ability. Summer peanuts are suitable for growing in warm and humid places, and the growing temperature cannot be too high. If the temperature is too high, it will affect the germination of peanut seeds.

Management of Summer Peanuts during Growth Period

After the summer peanuts emerge, it is necessary to remove the weeds in the field in combination with intertillage. After the plants bloom, apply compound fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium in time to promote the expansion of underground fruits. In addition, you must follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet. When the temperature is relatively high, you should increase the number of watering. When the temperature is relatively low, you should appropriately reduce the number of watering. During the rainy season, pay attention to draining excess water to avoid the occurrence of insect pests.
