"For sowing; Generally 100 to 125 kg of seed per hectare is sufficient. Improved "varieties" should be selected for cultivation which are more productive and resistant to pests and diseases. Groundnut is known as a major oilseed crop. Groundnut is a leguminous plant that spreads through the land underground and increases soil fertility. Therefore It helps in crop change and improving the soil texture, so it is necessary to cultivate the summer groundnut crop in an improved manner. Groundnut production during the Kharif season is mainly dependent on rainwater. Kharif season crop is more susceptible to pests and diseases.
