Two, How to Plant Groundnut?
Groundnut is not very demanding when it comes to the environment, and it is considered a sturdy plant. Maintenance is relatively simple, but if planting on a large scale, certain planting techniques are required.
1. Sowing
Groundnut is best sown in the spring. It usually takes about a year to harvest. If you have a courtyard at home, you can dig out a small area, level it, loosen the soil, and sprinkle some well-rotted sheep manure and a bit of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Then, you can broadcast the groundnut seeds into the soil.
2. Watering
Usually, after sowing the groundnut seeds, we should not water immediately, as this can easily lead to soil compaction, making it difficult for seeds to germinate. We can water before sowing and then scatter the seeds. Watering after the seedlings have emerged is beneficial for their growth.
