Senior agronomists Xu Linying, Qi Zirong, and deputy researcher Li Fuzhen from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences jointly served as relevant technical guidance. Recently, the Zhejiang Agriculture Committee Office organized relevant experts to conduct production testing and acceptance of “Zhehua 2”. The expert group first inspected the growth and appearance of fresh peanuts in three greenhouses (1.5 acres), and unanimously believed that they had vigorous growth, balanced growth, and high yield potential; Secondly, representative production sites with an area of over 20 square meters were randomly selected from each greenhouse on the farm, and fresh peanut pods were manually excavated and picked to obtain 3 bags of peanuts; Finally, weigh and peel each bag of peanuts to determine the average yield per acre of the field
According to reports, ‘Zhehua 2’ is suitable for close planting. When peanuts bloom and the plants reach a certain height, planters need to adopt chemical control techniques and carry out refined management.
