How to grow potted peanuts?

Peanut is a kind of nut which is rich in production and widely eaten in our country. it is also known as peanut and everlasting fruit in our country. it is an annual herb of the genus Peanut of Leguminosae. At present, many white-collar workers increasingly like to keep a small potted plant at their desks. Peanut potted plants are also becoming popular, because peanut potted plants are simple and good-looking. Let's take a look at how potted peanuts can be planted.

Seed treatment

Potted plants need less seeds. You can choose 1-4 healthy seeds, soak them in water for one night, and sow them the next day. Sowing the attached soil of 1 cm to 2 cm, it is recommended to attach a layer of film after sowing, which helps to germinate early and can germinate directly in light, about 1-7 days later.

Seedling emergence management

From sowing to 50% of the seedlings were unearthed and the first true leaf was unearthed as the stage of germination and emergence. At this time, the growth characteristics of peanuts were mainly rooting, branching, long leaves and other vegetative growth. After seed germination, seedlings should be checked immediately to find missing seedlings. Timely replanting or seedling replenishment should be carried out according to the lack of seedlings, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

Seedling stage management

The seedling stage of peanut is generally from 20 to 35 days. During this period, the growth is characterized by vegetative growth, flower buds begin to differentiate and root nodules begin to form. Adequate water and fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, should be ensured at the seedling stage to promote root nodule formation and flower bud differentiation. However, we should not fertilize too much, lest the branches and leaves grow too much, resulting in insufficient fruit. At the same time, we should do a good job in weeding, prevention and control of root rot and other diseases. Cultivate strong seedlings, promote the first and second pairs of lateral branches to grow early and quickly, and strive for more effective flower buds.

Florescence management

The lower needle period of peanut flowering is 15-35 days, which varies greatly according to planting season and variety. the lower needle period of spring-sowing peanut is 25-35 days, and that of summer sowing is 15-20 days. The growth of this period is characterized by the combination of vegetative growth and reproductive growth, the formation of a large number of root nodules and the enhancement of nitrogen fixation ability. During the needling period, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light, fertilizer and water for peanuts to ensure that the fruit needles are buried in the soil. During this period, attention should be paid to the control of rotten and dead seedlings, as well as the prevention of pests. Cultivate soil to welcome needles, increase the application of phosphorus, potassium and calcium fertilizer, and improve the ability of nitrogen fixation.

Podding management

The podding period of peanut is generally 20-40 days, spring sowing is 30-40 days, and summer sowing is 20-30 days. The growth characteristic of this period is that a large number of fruit needles enter the soil to form young or blighted fruit, the vegetative growth reaches the peak, and the water and fertilizer consumption reaches the maximum. At this time, the vegetative growth of peanuts reached its peak, the temperature was high and the light was sufficient, so it was necessary to ensure sufficient water. Pay attention to the control of dead seedlings and pests. Extra-root fertilization can prevent premature senescence and promote pod development.

Fruit harvest

The full fruit period of spring sowing peanut is 40-50 days, and that of summer sowing is 30-40 days. During this period, vegetative growth is gradually declining, reproductive growth is dominant, and root nodules stop nitrogen fixation. At this time, extra-root fertilization can be applied to prolong the functional period of leaves, improve the full fruit rate, and pay attention to timely harvest to prevent fruit germination.
