How long does it take to harvest peanuts after beginning of autumn?

Peanuts can be harvested in about one month after autumn.

Generally speaking, in the south, peanuts can be picked about one month after beginning of autumn, while in the north, because of the cold climate, it may take until around the first frost to harvest peanuts.

Therefore, the specific time of pulling peanuts should be decided according to the local climate and soil conditions to ensure high-quality peanut fruit. If peanuts are pulled out too early, the fruit is not yet mature, which will affect the yield and quality; Pulling peanuts too late may germinate or freeze the fruit.

The harvest period of peanuts has a great influence on the yield and quality of peanuts. If it cannot be calculated according to time, it can also be judged according to the growth of peanuts.

First of all, the stems and leaves of mature peanuts generally stop growing, especially the leaves at the top are obviously smaller, some stems and leaves begin to turn yellow, and the old leaves at the bottom of peanuts gradually begin to fall off. The underground peanut shell becomes hard, the network on the peanut shell gradually becomes obvious, and the peanut fruit is full. At this time, the peanuts are ripe and can be harvested.

cultivation techniques

Peanut and other crops in different areas of China form a planting system of one crop a year, three crops a year, two crops a year or three crops a year, which can be divided into spring peanuts, wheat peanuts, summer peanuts and autumn peanuts, and winter peanuts can also be planted in some areas of Guangdong. Part of peanut planting has been developed to paddy fields, forming peanut-rice or rice-peanut rotation system.

In some places, the growing season is longer, the rice variety is suitable, and it can also be rotated with double cropping rice. The autumn peanut pods planted in Guangdong and Fujian are reserved for the second spring sowing, which can improve the emergence rate and ensure the whole seedling in Miao Zhuang, commonly known as "turning over the autumn seeds" or "spring sowing"

Loose sandy soil, sandy gravel soil or sandy loam soil are needed for underground pod setting, which is beneficial to the penetration of fruit needles, the development and harvest of pods. Deep ploughing and deep ploughing are beneficial to the growth and development of peanuts.
