👉 The process from growing groundnuts to ripening is as follows:
1. Soil selection and preparation
Chubby, sandy or loamy soil is considered better.
Level the soil well, dig it up and level it.
Add organic manure or compost if necessary.
2. Seeding (sowing)
Choose a suitable variety (such as: GG-20, GG-11 etc.).
Suitable time for sowing: June-July for Kharif groundnuts, October-November for Rabi.
Seed quantity: About 100-120 kg/ha.
Treat the seeds with Trichoderma or Thiram fungicide.
3. Weeding and weed control
Weed control is important in the first 20-25 days.
Light weeding and tillage is done as needed.
4. Watering Control
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Water at specific intervals, especially during flowering and seed set.
5. Disease and Pest Control
Protect the plant from problems like green caterpillar, whitefly, fungus.
Spray at the right time (Eshtafat, Mancozeb etc. may be useful).
6. Flowering and production
Earthing up is very important when the plant flowers, because the groundnut is grown in the soil.
7. Harvesting time and maturity
The plants start turning yellow when the crop is fully ripe.
The crop is usually ready in 90-120 days after sowing.
Extract the groundnut by digging the soil or turning the field.
8. Drying and Preparation
Dry and store peanuts properly.
Pruning and cleaning as needed.
Ask if you have any specific questions or concerns about drip irrigation.
👉 The complete process from fertilizer to ripening in groundnut cultivation is given below in order:
1. Land preparation and fertilizer management
A. Land preparation
Make the soil brown by making 2-3 harrows and 1-2 ploughs.
Apply organic fertilizer before harvest.
B. Fertilizer management (for one hectare)
Farm manure (FYM): 5-10 tons
Urea (N): 15-20 kg
Super phosphate (P): 40-60 kg
Muritate of potash (K): 20-30 kg
Produce increases if micronutrients like zinc, boron are also applied.
2. Seed selection and seed treatment
Varieties: GG-20, GG-11, TAG-24
Treat the seeds with Trichoderma or Thiram/Fungicide before planting.
Seed rate: 100-120 kg/ha.
Sowing should be done in late June (Kharif) or October (Ravi).
3. Sowing and planting method
Row to row distance: 30-45 cm
Plant to plant distance: 10-15 cm
Depth: 5-7 cm
4. Weeding and weeding
First 25 days are very important.
Manual weeding or herbicide (Pendimethalin) can be used.
5. Irrigation system
Avoid salt water.
Total 4-6 irrigations required:
After sowing
When flowering
Grain filling condition
6. Pest control
Control against green caterpillar, thrips, white fly.
Diseases: Tikka Disease, Rust
Medicines:
Mancozeb – for fungus
Dimethoate/Imidacloprid – for pests
7. Earthing up
Earthing up after flowering so that the fruit can grow in the soil.
8. Crop ripening and harvesting
The crop is ready in 90-120 days after sowing.
Harvest when the plants turn yellow and the leaves start falling.
Uproot and dry in sunlight for 4-5 days.
9. Yield and storage
Good cultivation gives a yield of 15-25 quintals/ha.
Dry and store in a cool and dry place.
If you want detailed information about any specific stage or medicine, let me know, I can explain it in more detail.
👉 The complete process after the peanuts are ripe is as follows:
1. Identification of the crop – When to harvest?
The leaves of the plant start turning yellow.
The seeds below the ground look light brown and look high and full.
It should be about 90-120 days after sowing.
2. Harvesting
If the crop is in the ground, dig up the plants or uproot them with a tractor.
Water the soil a few days before (easier to uproot).
3. Drying
Dry the uprooted plants in the sunlight for 3-4 days in bed-style.
Then separate the seeds and plants.
4. Threshing (Dheekatu/Dana Alag Karvu)
Separate the seeds from the plants – by hand or with a thresher machine.
Dry the seeds again in the sun for 2-3 days so that there is no moisture left.
5. Cleaning and Grading
Separate the bad, broken and waste seeds.
Sort according to grade (useful for sale).
6. Storage
Keep the well-dried seeds in a bag or in a bag.
Humidity should be less than 9%.
The storage place should be dry, cool and ventilated.
If you want to keep it for a long time, use neem oil or EDB fumigation to prevent pests.
7. Sale or value addition
You can sell in the market or:
Oil extraction
Peanut laddu / Kachchi ghani / Pickup packing
You can also sell to the farmers’ association, APMC or direct traders. If you want to generate more revenue from your product, you can also consider value-added products.
If you have a specific market or need information about sales methods, please let us know.
