How many days does it take for peanuts to grow and be harvested? How long does it take for peanuts to be harvested?

The germination period is about 10 days from seeding to the emergence of seeds and leaves. The seedling period is from the emergence of seeds to the first flower. The flowering period is from flowering to the appearance of chicken-head-shaped young fruits. The period from flowering to the appearance of full fruits is the pod-setting period . The period from fruit maturity is the full fruit period .

How many days does it usually take for peanuts to grow?

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts, are a widely consumed dried fruit legume in China. Different varieties of peanuts have different growth cycles. The general growth cycle of peanuts is about 100-150 days , while some late-maturing varieties of peanuts need about 180 days to be harvested.

Peanuts prefer a warm and humid growing environment. They are suitable for sowing around April every spring. They can be harvested in August-September every year in the Jianghuai region, and after September in the northern region.

Peanut Growing Conditions

Peanuts are a thermophilic crop with high temperature requirements. The average daily temperature during the entire growth period must generally be higher than 21 degrees, and the total active accumulated temperature must be greater than 3200 degrees. In addition, peanuts are drought-resistant, but in order to achieve high yields, sufficient water and fertilizer must be provided.

Peanut fruits grow underground, so they have certain requirements for the soil. It is best to plant them in slightly acidic (pH 6.3-6.8) loam or sandy loam with deep soil, loose, fertile soil, good drainage, and good lighting conditions in the planting area so that they can thrive.

Peanut growing season management

1. Fertilization method

When planting peanuts, you can apply enough basal fertilizer to the soil. You can use bone meal and decomposed organic fertilizer to provide the nutrients needed for the growth of peanuts. During the vigorous growth period of peanuts, you can apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate or foliar fertilizer to promote the growth of peanuts.

2. Scientific watering

Peanuts are drought-tolerant plants that do not require much water. When planting peanuts, it is necessary to dig drainage ditches for peanuts during the rainy season to drain the water in the soil to prevent the plants from rotting. However, when the environment is too dry, it is necessary to irrigate the peanuts in time to promote their vigorous growth.

3. Prevent and control pests and diseases

Peanuts are easily attacked by pests such as aphids during their growth. When growing peanuts, you need to regularly observe the growth status of the plants. If you find that the leaves of peanuts turn yellow from bottom to top, you need to remove and throw away the infected seedlings, and then spray carbendazim 1-2 times every week to keep the peanuts growing healthily.
