This causes the pods to stop forming and leads to yield loss. Leaf diseases such as web blotch and botrytis cause a decrease in the quality of the crop as well as a drastic fall in yield.
Should you notice any of these diseases, start a spray programme with fungicides registered for use on groundnuts. Harvesting Groundnut plants mature as the season draws to a close around the end of March or the beginning of April. To assess the maturity of the crop, choose between five and 10 plants at random and lift them from the soil. Leave them in the shade for a day to enable the kernels within the pods to shrink a little and make them easier to shell.
Remove all the kernels, gather the shells together, and look inside them. Lifting groundnuts can be done either by using a tractor-drawn implement in the form of a blade that cuts the roots below the soil, or simply by using a garden fork.
Once lifted, the groundnut plants should be stacked and left to dry for four to six weeks. Once the pods have dried, pick them from the plant by hand or rub the pods against a grid of some sort wire mesh with fairly large openings, for example to remove them from the plants. The harvested pods can now be bagged and transported to a processor or sold on the informal market. Producing groundnuts requires considerable labour, but can earn a reasonable profit. To ensure a high yield and good quality, do your best to gain as much knowledge as you can about groundnut production well before planting!
