🌾 જમીનની તૈયારી અને ખેડ
જમીનની યોગ્ય તૈયારીથી એકસરખો ઉગાવો અને મૂળનો ઊંડો વિકાસ સુનિશ્ચિત થાય છે.
🌱 યોગ્ય જમીનનો પ્રકાર અને pH
Well-drained sandy loam to loamy sand; pH 6.0 – 7.5; depth > 30 cm for unrestricted peg penetration.
✨ મુખ્ય કૃષિ ફાયદા
Loose, friable soil texture ensures rapid germination, unhindered geocarpic peg insertion, and uniform pod set throughout the root zone.
- 1
Deep summer ploughing (25–30 cm) followed by 2–3 cross-harrowings to obtain fine tilth.
- 2
Field leveling with laser or board leveling and formation of drainage channels to prevent water stagnation.
- 3
Incorporation of 10–15 t/ha well-decomposed FYM or compost during last harrowing for soil conditioning.
- 4
Soil testing for pH correction using gypsum (for alkaline soils) or elemental sulfur (for acidic soils) before sowing.
🌱 વાવણીનો સમય અને પદ્ધતિ
Precise seed rate and spacing maximize light interception and canopy development.
| માપદંડ / પેરામીટર | ભલામણ / સૂચના | કૃષિ મહત્વ |
|---|---|---|
| વાવણી સમયમર્યાદા | Early June to mid-July (Kharif); early October to mid-November (Rabi in rain-fed areas of MP, Maharashtra) | Sowing coincides with monsoon onset ensuring adequate soil moisture for germination and early vegetative growth. |
| બિયારણનો દર (એકર દીઠ) | 100 kg/ha (≈ 40–45 kg/acre), using uniform, healthy rosy seeds | Optimal plant population ensures complete canopy closure by 45 DAS and maximizes light interception. |
| હાર અને છોડ વચ્ચેનું અંતર | 30 cm (row-to-row) × 10–12 cm (plant-to-plant) | Balanced spacing promotes lateral branching, improves air circulation, and facilitates interculture operations. |
| વાવણીની ઊંડાઈ | 5–7 cm in light soils; 3–5 cm in heavy soils | Shallow sowing in heavy soils prevents damping-off, while deeper placement in light soils ensures adequate moisture contact. |
💧 પિયત અને પાણી વ્યવસ્થાપન
Adequate moisture regulation supports strong vegetative and reproductive growth.
☀️ પાણીની જરૂરિયાત અને પિયત પ્રોફાઇલ
મગફળી AgriBee 909 exhibits moderate drought tolerance due to its deep taproot system. Under drip irrigation, apply 25–30 mm per event at 5–7 day intervals during active growth. Total water requirement is approximately 450–550 mm over the crop cycle.
🌦️ Soil ભેજ વ્યવસ્થાપન
In rainfed ecosystems, ensure 2–3 protective irrigations at critical stages: pre-sowing soak, flowering (35–45 DAS), and pod development (60–75 DAS). Mulching with dry straw conserves soil moisture and suppresses weeds.
- ✓
First irrigation at sowing itself (if soil is dry) to ensure uniform germination within 7–10 days.
- ✓
Light irrigation every 10–12 days during vegetative phase (20–40 DAS) to support canopy establishment.
- ✓
Critical irrigation at peak flowering and peg insertion (35–50 DAS) and during pod filling (60–80 DAS); moisture stress at these stages severely affects fruit set.
- ✓
Stop irrigation 10–12 days before harvest to allow pod maturation and prevent post-harvest aflatoxin risk.
🧪 ખાતર અને પોષણ વ્યવસ્થાપન
Balanced crop nutrition supports robust plant structure and premium produce quality.
| પોષક તત્વ | ભલામણ કરેલ માત્રા (એકર દીઠ) | ઉપયોગ પદ્ધતિ અને સમય |
|---|---|---|
| નાઇટ્રોજન (N) | 20–25 kg/acre (50–60 kg/ha) | 50% basal with P and K; remaining 50% as top-dressing at first weeding (25–30 DAS). |
| ફોસ્ફરસ (P2O5) | 40–50 kg/acre (100–125 kg/ha) | 100% basal application as DAP (18:46:0) or Super Phosphate incorporated during final harrowing. |
| પોટાશ (K2O) | 30–40 kg/acre (75–100 kg/ha) | 100% basal as MOP (60% K2O); split only if soil leaching is severe in high-rainfall zones. |
🌿 નિંદામણ નિયંત્રણ અને આંતરખેડ
Timely weed control ensures optimal nutrient and moisture availability for crop seedlings.
-
1
પ્રથમ નિંદામણ અને ગોડ: Carry out at 15–20 DAS using a hand hoe or rotavator. Early weed control is critical as groundnut is a poor competitive grower during the first 30 days.
-
2
બીજી વાવણી અને પાળા ચઢાવવા: Perform at 30–35 DAS. Earthing-up (mounding soil around stems) supports developing pegs, prevents exposed pods from greening, and improves aeration around the root zone.
-
3
Mulching & Inter-row Cultivation: Apply dry straw mulch (2–3 t/ha) immediately after second weeding to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and suppress regrowth of weeds. Mechanical inter-row hoeing can be done at 45 DAS if needed.
🛡️ જીવાત અને રોગ નિયંત્રણ
Proactive crop monitoring and integrated management ensure healthy crop development.
🐛 જીવાત નિયંત્રણ અને સંરક્ષણ
- Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera): Larvae bore into developing pods causing direct performance loss. Apply Profenophos 50 EC at 1.5 ml/L or Spinosad 45 SC at 0.5 ml/L at 30, 45, and 60 DAS. Release Trichogramma japonicum at 50,000/acre at 25 and 40 DAS as biological control.
- Termites (Odontotermes spp.): Attack germinating seeds and young roots causing patchy stands. Treat soil with Chlorpyriphos 20 EC at 5 ml/kg soil or Carbofuran 3G at 10 kg/acre before sowing. Use neem cake (@ optimal produce volume) as an eco-friendly deterrent.
- Leafhopper (Amrasca biguttula biguttula): Sucks sap from underside of leaves causing silvery stippling and premature drying. Spray Dimethoate 30 EC at 1.0 ml/L or Imidacloprid 17.8 SL at 0.3 ml/L. Encourage natural predators such as green lacewings and ladybird beetles.
🔬 રોગ નિયંત્રણ અને ઉપચાર
- Late Leaf Spot (Puccinia arachidis): Caused by fungal pathogen; characterized by dark brown circular lesions on lower leaves leading to defoliation. Preventive spray of Propiconazole 25 EC at 0.1 ml/L or Mancozeb 75 WP at 2.5 g/L at 45 and 60 DAS effectively controls epidemics.
- સફેદ Rot / Sclerotial Blight (Sclerotium rolfsii): Soil-borne fungus causes wilting and white mycelial growth at stem base near soil level. Treat seed with Trichoderma viride at 4 g/kg seed + 25 kg/acre soil application. Avoid water stagnation and practice 3-year rotation with cereals.
- Tobacco Streak Virus (TSV): Transmitted by thrips; symptoms include necrotic streaks on leaves, petioles, and pegs reducing pod quality. Control thrips vector promptly with Imidacloprid. Rogue out infected plants and use virus-free hybrid & research seed stock.
✂️ કાપણી અને ગુણવત્તા માર્ગદર્શિકા
Harvesting at peak maturity ensures maximum commercial grade and long keeping quality.
⏱️ કાપણીનો સમય અને આયોજન
Harvest at 100–105 DAS when approximately 75% of pods show mature internal seed development. Uproot the entire crop and spread on clean ground for sun curing for 3–4 days.
⭐ ઉત્પાદનની ગુણવત્તા અને લક્ષણો

| ગુણવત્તા માપદંડ | કૃષિ ધોરણ | ખેડૂત અને બજાર ફાયદો |
|---|---|---|
| કાપણીનો તબક્કો | 100–105 વાવણી પછીના દિવસો | Ensures full pod maturation, maximum oil synthesis, and optimal seed weight for premium market grades. |
| પરિપક્વતાના લક્ષણો | Upper foliage turns yellowish-green; pods have firm, well-ribbed shells; seeds fill the cavity completely with rosy testa. | Prevents over-maturity which leads to pod shattering, aflatoxin contamination, and quality deterioration. |
| સંગ્રહ ક્ષમતા અને ગુણવત્તા | 7–10 days under ambient conditions; up to 30+ days at 10–15°C and 70% RH with low moisture content (< 8%). | Robust seed coat and balanced oil composition ensure extended market window and reduced post-harvest losses during transportation. |
| બજાર માંગ અને યોગ્યતા | Fresh market (boiled/roasted), oil extraction, kernel grading, and export-grade raw pods. | Versatile end-use appeal attracts premium rates from both processor networks and commodity traders across mandis. |
