Planting method of Peanut Sprout

Peanut sprout is a kind of food with both dietotherapy and therapy. it can not only be eaten raw, but also rich in nutrition, and the content of energy, protein and crude fat ranks first among all kinds of vegetables. and rich in vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and other minerals and various amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body, with high planting prospects, let's take a look at the planting method of peanut sprouts.

Planting preparation

1. Varieties: to select small-grain peanut varieties, we should use new varieties produced in the same year with full grains, uniform size, no damage, strong germination potential and high germination rate.

2. Site: peanut sprout production requires strict temperature and humidity conditions, generally does not need light, but requires fresh and smooth air, can use free living room or waste spare room and so on.

3. Containers: foam boxes of various specifications are available, generally choose boxes with a length of 60 cm, a width of 40 cm and a height of 25 cm. The bottom of the box is required to be flat with drainage ventilation holes.

Sowing method

1. Seed selection: select new seeds of the current year, preferably small white-skinned peanut varieties, and choose seeds with full seeds, uniform size, intact seeds and more than 95% germination rate.

2. Soak the seeds: soak the selected seeds in clean water for 12 hours and 24 hours, so that the seeds can fully absorb water and expand. Then remove the seeds and rinse them with clean water for 2 or 3 times before sprouting.

3. Sprouting: the germination should be carried out in the seedling plate, and the soaked seeds should be sowed directly in the seedling plate, and then the seedling plates should be stacked on top of each other. The appropriate temperature is 22-25 ℃.

4. Sowing: the cultivation container is cleaned and sterilized, and the germinated seeds can be placed on the plate. The sowing amount of each seedling plate is about 500 grams, but it should be placed in a single layer and cannot be piled up.

Planting management

1. Weeding: after 2-3 days of sowing, when the bud is 1 cm long, all the unbudded kernels will be removed.

2. Temperature: the suitable temperature for peanut bud growth is 18-25 ℃, spraying more water to cool down in summer and strengthening heat preservation in winter.

3. Watering: watering 3-4 times a day, with clean well water as appropriate, and the amount of water should be drenched by all the shoots and soaked through the substrate.

4. Lighting: during cultivation, the room should be kept dark and invisible, otherwise the peanut buds will turn green and affect the appearance and taste.

5. Harvest: in the normal cultivation environment, it takes 7-8 days from sowing to harvest in summer and autumn, and 8-10 days in winter and spring.
