Groundnut (peanut) farming is a profitable, 90–120 day agricultural venture best suited for warm climates
in well-drained sandy loam soil. Key requirements include thorough land preparation (plowing and hilling) and planting seeds at a 3–5 cm depth during the rainy season (Kharif). The plants require regular, moderate water and 4–5 months for pod maturity.

Key Aspects of Groundnut Farming:

Soil and Climate: Grows best in loose, sandy loam soils with pH 5.5–7.0. Waterlogging should be avoided as it damages the crop.

Land Preparation: Deep plowing is necessary, followed by harrowing to break down clods and form ridges (50-60 cm apart).

Sowing: Seeds are usually sown at the start of the rainy season (June/July) at a depth of 3-5 cm, with a row-to-row spacing of 30–45 cm.

Nutrient Management: Being a leguminous crop, it fixes nitrogen, but application of organic manures and fertilizers is required to maintain soil fertility.

Crop Rotation: Avoid planting groundnuts in the same field continuously to prevent soil-borne diseases.

Harvesting: Indicated by yellowing of leaves and maturity of pods, generally 90–120 days after planting.

Yield: Average yield ranges from 1400–2150 kg/ha depending on the variety and region.

Stable Rock Farms
Common Groundnut Varieties
 Suitable for spring with high yield (~12.3 qtl/acre). Recommended for rain-fed conditions.
Other high-yielders: TNAU Agritech lists COGn 4, COGn 5, and TMV 10 as productive varieties. 
Tips for High Yield
Seed Treatment: Soak seeds in a fungicide solution before sowing to prevent diseases.
Planting Density: Use a seed drill with packing wheels for optimal spacing and consistent germination.
Drying: After harvesting, properly dry the pods (windrowing) to reduce moisture content.
The peanut (Arachis hypogaea), also known as the groundnut, goober (US, via Kikongo), goober pea, pindar (US, via Kikongo) or monkey nut (UK), is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds, contained in underground pods. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics by small and large commercial producers, both as a grain legume and as an oil crop. Underground fruiting (geocarpy) is atypical among legumes, which led botanist Carl Linnaeus to name the species hypogaea, from Greek 'under the earth'.
The peanut belongs to the flowering plant family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), commonly known as the pea family. Like most other legumes, peanuts harbor symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules, which improve soil fertility, making them valuable in crop rotations. Some people are allergic to peanuts and can have a fatal reaction.

Edible products include peanut oil and peanut butter. Industrial uses include paint, varnish, and furniture polish made with peanut oil. The plant tops are used for silage, while oilcake meal is used as animal feed and as a fertilizer. Peanut sauces are used in Latin America and Southeast Asia, while in the Indian subcontinent, they are added to salads and stews. In North America, peanuts are used in candies, cakes, and cookies, while peanut butter is widely eaten.
