Soil

  • Ideal soil: light colored, well drained, friable, sandy loam, well supplied with Ca and a moderate amount of OM.
  • Prefers a slightly acid soils, pH of 6.0-6.5 (pH between 5.5-7.0 is acceptable but pH 5.0 severely limits growth).
  • Saline soils are unsuitable for groundnut cultivation.
  • Sandy and loam soils are most suitable as they are easily penetrated by roots and pegs and allow easier percolation of rainfall.
  • Heavy soils affect growth and yield performance of groundnut.
