Common misunderstandings in sowing Peanut

Peanut is an important grain and oil product in China, and uneven emergence often occurs in the process of peanut planting, which seriously affects the economic income of farmers. The uneven sowing and emergence of peanuts is mainly caused by three reasons. Let's take a look at the common misunderstandings of peanut sowing with Xiaobian.

1. Sowing time

The growth period of spring sowing peanuts is longer, so it is suitable to choose middle and late mature varieties, and according to practical experience, spring peanuts are sowed ten days early or ten days late, and the final yield has little difference, so it is suggested that farmers should sow according to the local air temperature. Sowing after the air temperature is stable, it is best to sow when the ground temperature is stable above 15 degrees. In addition, when sowing, we should also pay attention to the weather forecast, check the local weather changes within 15 days, see that there is no significant drop in temperature in the next half of the month, and also pay attention to rainy days. When it rains after sowing, peanuts are highly likely to rot.

2. Sowing depth

Peanut sowing will mostly use hole sowing, strip sowing and mechanical sowing, and whether manual sowing or mechanical sowing, the sowing depth should grasp the principle of dry sowing and wet sowing. Generally, the sowing depth should be about 5 cm. When the soil temperature is low, the humidity is high and the soil is heavy, it should be sown with appropriate money, but the minimum should not be less than 3 cm, while the sandy soil with loose soil can be sown appropriately. However, the maximum depth should not exceed 7 cm, and the general soil sowing depth should be kept at 3-7 cm.

3. Seed dressing

In order to prevent and control diseases and insect pests, many farmers now have the habit of mixing seeds before sowing, which is a good habit, but if seed dressing is not done properly, the seed coat of peanuts may be broken, which will also cause uneven emergence of peanuts. This is because the seed coat of peanut is very thin, if the germ is damaged, then it will affect the emergence rate. In addition, in artificial seed mixing, we should pay attention to the water consumption should not be too much, and in the mixing process should be light, so as not to break the seed coat.
