Why do farmers grow groundnut crops in between paddy crops?
Thanks to rhizobia, a bacteria. First it infects groundnut root and help to convert atmospheric Nitrogen (N2) to N. Rhizobia helps to do natural conversation of Nitrogen. So it not only makes plant to get nitrogen but also Nitrogen traces are left in soil even after harvesting crop.

When you are growing peanuts, plant them in well-draining, sandy soil that is rich in organic matter such as leaves, compost, or well-rotted manure.
What is the mode of propagation of groundnut?
Groundnut is propagated by seed, but vegetative propagation using cuttings is possible. The 1000-seed weight ranges from 150 g to more than 1300 g. Sowing high-quality seed in a well-prepared, moist seedbed is essential for crop establishment.
What is the soil requirement for groundnut?

| Edible oilseed | Soil requirements | Maturity duration |
|---|---|---|
| Groundnut | Well-drained sandy loam or sandy clay loam soil with a pH of 6.5–7.0 | 140–150 days |
| Sesame | Well-drained light loamy soil with a pH of 5.5–8.0 | 90–120 days |
| Hazelnut | Well-drained, deep, fertile moist loam or sandy loam soil with a pH of 6–7 | 4–5 years |
