  • Which groundnuts are suitable for production in South Africa?
  • Suitable soil forms are Avalon, Bainsvlei, Clovelly, Hutton, Pinedene and Glencoe. Runner type groundnuts are unsuitable for production in South Africa because of the longer growth season and the higher moisture requirements of these types.
  • How much do groundnuts grow in South Africa?
  • Yields vary from about 400 kilograms to several tonnes per hectare depending on production system and production area. In South Africa, groundnuts are grown in the summer rainfall regions under irrigated or rainfed conditions.
  • Where are groundnuts produced?
  • Groundnuts are produced in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, on sandy soils. The production practices vary from highly sophisticated commercial ventures in the western world to more traditional cropping practices in third world countries.
  • What is the best crop rotation system for groundnuts?
  • One of the best crop rotation systems is one in which a grass fallow is followed by groundnuts. Fewer diseases are also present in groundnuts following a grass crop. Usually groundnuts also produce a better crop on fields that have been fallowed. Groundnuts should be grown after a main crop such as maize, small grains, sorghum or millet.
