Sustainable Groundnut Production

Groundnuts (peanuts) are an important cash and food crop. Key tips: 1) Select well-drained sandy loam soil. 2) Plant certified seeds with inoculant for nitrogen fixation. 3) Plant at 75cm x 10cm spacing. 4) Groundnuts need minimal fertilizer - use compound D sparingly. 5) Ridge planting helps with harvesting. 6) Harvest when leaves turn yellow (90-120 days after planting). 7) Dry properly to prevent aflatoxin contamination. 8) Store in cool, dry place. Market demand is high for quality groundnuts.
