It is best to water peanuts every few days

How often should peanuts be watered?

Water the peanuts less during the seedling stage. Excessive watering will cause the roots to rot and die. They will need more water during the flowering period and cannot be short of water at this time. Sufficient water should be ensured. Water less during the pod-setting stage. Too much water will cause the fruits to rot. If there is rainfall, drainage measures should also be taken.

The irrigation period and frequency of peanuts are mainly determined by the amount of precipitation during the peanut growing period, the distribution of precipitation, the soil moisture content, and the peanut's need for soil moisture at each growth stage. The above conditions vary greatly in different peanut production areas. Therefore, the irrigation time and frequency should be determined according to the specific situation.

What kind of water is good for peanuts?

1. Rainwater : If the industrial pollution in the area is not very serious, the rainwater should not be corrosive. At this time, the rainwater does not need to be specially stored and can be directly used to water the peanuts. It is best to take drainage measures to prevent the peanuts from being waterlogged.

2. River water : It is best to use river water to water peanuts. River water contains minerals and trace elements. Watering peanuts can make them grow better and bear more fruits.

What to do if you water peanuts too much

1. Drainage : Drain the water in the field in time. According to the water accumulation situation and terrain, use drainage machinery and dig drainage ditches to drain the water in the field and stagnant water in the tillage layer as soon as possible to minimize the time of water accumulation in the field.

2. Prevention and control : After a waterlogging disaster, the field temperature is high and the humidity is high. In addition, the peanuts grow weak and their resistance to stress is reduced, which is suitable for the occurrence of various diseases and pests. Timely investigation and prevention and control are necessary to control the spread.

3. Fertilization : After peanuts are flooded, a large amount of soil nutrients are lost, and the root absorption capacity is weakened. Timely topdressing is very beneficial to the plant's recovery of growth and increase in yield.
