Peanut Planting Methods

1. Choose the soil

When planting peanuts, you need to choose suitable soil. It likes soil that is rich in nutrients and has good air permeability.

3. Post-maintenance

After planting peanuts, you can water them with river or lake water to soak all the soil. This can also provide the peanuts with balanced nutrients to maintain the normal growth of the plants.

Precautions for planting peanuts

When choosing peanut seeds, you should choose seeds that are large, plump, and free of pests and diseases. This will make them easier to germinate, and good seeds will produce better peanuts. Before planting, the peanut seeds need to be exposed to the sun for a while, which can have a sterilizing effect. If conditions permit, the seeds can be mixed with pesticides to enhance the resistance of the plants.
