Flower production and planting

my country's peanut production is very large. Common producing areas include Shandong, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Liaoning and other provinces. Among them, Rushan peanuts in Shandong are relatively famous. The peanut kernels here are oval and plump with high oil content.

Peanuts can be planted in spring from February to March, and in the north they can be sown in April to May. The plants have high requirements for geological soil and are more suitable for planting in loose, fertile and well-drained soil.
