Peanut is one of the more common leguminous plants, and it is also an important oil crop and food raw material. When growing peanuts, the amount of seeds used is a very important issue for farmers. So, how many catties of seeds do you need to plant an acre of peanuts?Generally speaking, planting an acre of peanuts requires about 20-30 catties of seeds. The amount of this dosage depends mainly on different varieties, soil fertility, climatic conditions and other factors.
First of all, variety is one of the important factors affecting the amount of seeds. Different varieties of peanut seeds differ in germination rate, growth rate, yield, etc. Some early-maturing, high-yielding varieties may require more seeds, while some late-maturing, low-yielding varieties will require relatively fewer seeds.
Secondly, soil fertility is also one of the factors that affect the amount of seeds used. If the soil fertility is high, it is conducive to the growth and development of peanuts, and the amount of seeds can be reduced. Conversely, if the soil fertility is low, the amount of seeds needs to be increased to guarantee the yield.
In addition, climatic conditions can also affect the amount of seeds used. In adverse climatic conditions such as drought and cold, the growth and development of peanuts will be affected, so it is necessary to increase the amount of seeds. It is important to note that the amount of seeds used is also affected by the sowing method and density. In general, the amount of seeds used can be reduced by using on-demand sowing and increasing the density appropriately, while the amount of seeds required by strip sowing or spreading may be higher.
