  • How to Harvest Groundnut oil?
  • The dried pods are usually cleaned and stored in bags stacked on top of one another. Ideally, the bags should be piled on wooden planks to prevent damage due to dampness. You can extract your oil after harvest by either using a small manual oil press machine or a big groundnut oil expeller.
  • What kind of soil do groundnuts need?
  • Groundnut requires a well drainy sandy or loamy soil. Also, the plant needs an acidic soil to thrive preferably a pH of about 6-7. They need about 5 months of warm weather and an annual rainfall in the range of 500 ? 1000mm or its equivalent in irrigation water. The soil temperature needed for germination is about 30 0 C.
  • Is groundnut farming still profitable?
  • Unfortunately, these pyramids have gone into extinction due to inconsistent and poorly implemented government policies. Nonetheless, groundnut farming is still lucrative in the country and you can generate as much as 5 metric tonnes per hectare of land. Interestingly, groundnut can be cultivated in a wide range of environments.
  • How do you care for a groundnut farm?
  • Chicken or farmyard manure can also be applied at least one month before planting. This improves the structure and helps to promote crop development. When it comes to post planting care, one disease to guard against is the groundnut rossette disease. This disease is one of the most devastating diseases that can affect a groundnut farm.
