N FLA | We always say peanuts know how to "root out a living", so your garden soil is probably plenty of fertility. But if you always put a base fertilizer for you veggies, go ahead and use it. If you can find a peanut inoculant, use one, its different than soybean inoculant. If you cant find one, you will probably do OK without it, but may need more N. Plant your seeds 2" deep, and 5-6 seeds per foot on a 30 inch row. In about 50 days, come back and put the equivalent of a ton of gypsum, which is about 25 lbs per 500 sq ft. Peanuts need high calcium levels to make the nuts in the shell. Just use bagged gyp from the garden center. Thats about it except dont let the worms eat them to the ground. We usually have boiling peanuts in about 100-110 days after planting. You may take a little longer if you have cooler nights. If you think you can wait a few weeks to plant them the better, they need to shoot out of the ground, we use 65 avg soil temp as the recommendation, but if they hang in the soil too long before emerging, they will probably get diseases. We are just starting planting in North Florida. They really like the heat.
You can use arrow/select for grasses, and 2,4-DB, and/or cobra for broadleaves. DB and Cobra is a pretty good combination. | |
