When will peanuts be harvested and matured?

Peanuts are harvested in autumn from July to September.

The suitable harvest time of peanuts should generally be determined according to the appearance standards of plant appearance and pod maturity. From the outside of the plant, the upper leaves turn yellow, the middle and lower leaves turn yellow and gradually fall off, and the stems are yellow-green;

The appearance standard of pod maturity is: the shell is blue and hard, the vein texture is deep and clear, the sponge in the shell is shiny dark brown, the seeds are full and full, and the seed coat is bright.

Extended data:

The maturity time of pods is very inconsistent. Pods can be peeled off according to the degree to which the inner wall color changes from white to brown-black. Generally speaking, harvest begins when the inner wall or endocarp of most pods changes from brown to black. Varieties with late harvest and weak dormancy are easy to germinate in the field;

Some varieties are easy to break fruit stalks and it is difficult to harvest them cleanly. Large-scale production uses harvesters to dig over the sun, and then uses fruit pickers to pick, clean and dry fruits.

The water content of safely stored pods is 10%. It is very important to dry in time, otherwise it will be hot and moldy. Aflatoxin produced by aflatoxin pollution has carcinogenic effect. ?
