Peanut high yield management skills
Since 2010, Zhongde has been dedicated to researching ways to improve peanut yields and efficiency, addressing common challenges such as soil acidification, compaction, empty shells, and sticky grains that have long troubled farmers and fertilizer manufacturers. Based on extensive field experience, they have developed a practical management plan that can be easily followed by farmers.
**Pre-planting Management**
Soil preparation is crucial for successful peanut cultivation. Instead of using a rotary tiller (which only tills about 15 cm deep), it's recommended to plow the soil to a depth of 30–35 cm. Before planting, apply 10 kg of soil conditioner and 25–50 kg of organic fertilizer per mu to enhance soil structure and fertility.
Seed treatment is equally important. Before planting, dry the seeds on the ground for 1–2 days (not on concrete) to improve germination quality. Treat the seeds with Kepke and Kangpu molybdenum to boost emergence rates and uniformity, laying a solid foundation for high yields.
**Fertilizer Selection**
When choosing fertilizers, opt for high-nitrogen and high-potassium formulas, such as Zhongde Peanut Special Fertilizer (13-15-12 with boron and organic matter) or 16-12-14. Apply 50–75 kg per mu during sowing. Alternatively, use European agriculture’s Entek compound fertilizer (12-11-18) at 35–50 kg per mu. These options help prevent burning and promote healthy growth. To reduce empty shells, add 200–400 grams of boron per mu.
Choose chlorine-based or sulfur-based fertilizers depending on soil conditions to optimize nutrient uptake.
**Daily Management**
Sowing requirements: Plant large peanuts at a depth of 5 cm when the daily average temperature is above 14°C, and small peanuts when it's above 12°C. In the Ludong area, spring planting should occur between April 25 and May 10, while in Luzhong, Lunan, and Luxi areas, it should be between April 20 and May 5. The soil moisture should be around 70–75%, meaning the topsoil should form a clump but remain loose. If the soil is too dry, water before planting to ensure good seedling establishment.
Seedling management: After emergence, break the seed coat, release excess moisture, check for weak plants, and replace them if necessary. Spray Lion Horse Green diluted 800 times and Kepuke diluted 500 times to improve seedling quality and promote root and leaf development.
Mid-term management: During the flowering and pod-forming stage, perform ridge-making and water according to soil moisture levels. Control pests like cotton bollworms and leaf spot by spraying Kangpu liquid boron at 1500 times and Lion Blue at 1000 times. This improves pollination and increases fruit setting. Keep plant stems under 35 cm for optimal growth.
Pre-harvest management: During the filling period, spray Lion Horse Red diluted 1000 times or Sander’s Instant Potassium diluted 500 times to reduce sticky grains and increase yield. Ensure timely irrigation and drainage based on soil moisture levels.
Harvest requirements: Harvest when the main stem has 3–4 leaves, more than 70% of the pods are hardened, the shell is clear, and the inner wall is brown. Dry the harvested peanuts quickly to reduce moisture content to below 8% within one week. At harvest time, collect any remaining plastic film to keep the field clean and prevent soil and environmental contamination.
Zhongde hopes that peanut farmers in 2013 will choose the right fertilizers and implement proper management practices to achieve higher yields and better profitability. By following these scientifically tested methods, farmers can significantly improve their productivity and sustainability.
