Peanut is a very important oil food crop in China, which has a wide range of distribution in China. Now there are a lot of people planting on a large scale, and when planting, most people will set aside some of the plants for use, and then harvest them for next sowing when they are ripe. In fact, peanut seeds need to be stored well if they are not sown at any time. The following editor has brought you the storage methods of peanut planting, let's have a look!

1. Prepare before storage

Peanut seeds should be fully dried in the sun before storage, and the water content of the seeds should not exceed 10%. A professional data survey shows that the storage capacity of peanut seeds is relatively strong when the water content of peanut seeds is less than 10%, and the germination power can be maintained well when the temperature is below zero. If the water content is high, the respiration capacity of peanut seeds will gradually strengthen, resulting in the loss of nutrients and water, and the heat will increase sharply. As a result, the seeds are extremely perishable, produce a variety of diseases and insect pests, and lose the ability to germinate.

2. Storage equipment location

The storage site of peanut seeds should have good ventilation and drainage capacity, dry ground, no leakage, no rats and so on. Then the main storage equipment is woven bags and other highly permeable bags, it is not suitable to use airtight plastic bags. Otherwise, it is easy to lead to air closure in the bag, resulting in lack of oxygen, peanut seeds for anaerobic respiration, resulting in embryo poisoning. And the carbon dioxide, water and heat produced by seed respiration are difficult to emit, which leads to the increase of seed temperature, mildew and loss of germination ability.

3. Storage method

We need to adjust the storage method reasonably according to the planting direction. if it is used as edible and industrial peanut seeds, then kernel storage is the main storage method, while pod storage is the main storage method for peanuts. When the pod is dried, remove the shell and take out the kernel, then put the kernel into the storage apparatus and put it into the storeroom. First, put a layer of mat on the storage bag, and then cover it with a layer of sack cloth. Mats can not only effectively heat and moisturize, but also prevent people from stepping on seeds, while sacks can absorb water vapor and avoid excessive humidity.

4. Points for attention

Pesticides, fertilizers and other substances should not be found in the storage room, so the volatilization of pesticides and fertilizers is very strong, and when volatilized in the air, it will have a great impact on seed cells and embryos. Before storage, we should improve the quality of the seeds and clean up the impurities on the outer skin of the seeds and the unripe dried seeds. Then, during storage, the specific conditions of the seeds should be checked frequently. Whether they are exposed to moisture, threatened by insects, etc. Avoid reducing the germination rate of seeds, if there is an abnormal situation, then it should be dealt with in time to improve the safety of storage.

The above is a brief introduction to the storage methods of peanut seeds. The storage methods of peanut seeds are mainly pods and kernels. We must control the storage methods according to the direction of use to ensure the germination power of peanut seeds. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
