Pegs can attain a length of 15-30 cm. Once penetration of the soil surface has occurred, fruit enlargement proceeds at the peg tip with eventual formation of the peanut pod. Pods can contain 1-6 seeds. Peanuts are divided into two main species hypogaea and fastigiata based on the arrangement of the vegetative and reproductive branches. This division is not only important for taxonomic purposes but has production implications. The hypogaea species does not flower on the main stem; it matures later than other sub species and has a high water requirement. This species has alternate branching patterns and produces large seeds. Virginia and runner types are in the hypogaea sub species. 

The fastigiata species produce flower on the main stem, has sequential branching, mature earlier, has lower water requirement and produces smaller seeds. Spanish and Valencia are in this sub species. Peanuts grow best on soils that are well drained, loosely textured and well supplied with calcium, potassium and phosphorous.

OZSTAR has already various kinds of industrial fryers along flavouring and seasoning equipment for nuts controlled by touch screen.

 

The soil should be well aerated and contain moderate amounts of organic matter. Heavier clay soils or those that tend to have surface crusting are unsuitable due to their high resistance to peg penetration and pod expansion. Peanut grows best in slightly acidic soils with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5 but a range of 5.5 to 7.0 is acceptable. Saline soils are not suitable since peanut has a very low salt tolerance. The peanut seed has a high demand for water during germination. For optimum germination, high soil moisture is required to facilitate the 35-40% water intake by imbibing seeds. Seeds should be planted when moisture levels are favourable for rapid germination and growth. Rapid germination and vigorous growth help the young plant to counteract diseases.

Peanuts are adapted to a wide range of climatic conditions. They are relatively drought tolerant and require about a minimum of 400 mm rainfall during the growing period. For optimum growth, however, an annual rainfall range of 750-1250 mm is generally considered necessary.

Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.), a member of the legume family, is an important food and oil crop. It is currently grown on approximately 42 million acres worldwide. It is the third major oilseed of the world after soybean and cotton (FAO, 1990). India, China, and the United States have been the leading producers for over the last 25 years and grow about 70% of the world’s crop. Peanut originated in South America (Bolivia and adjoining countries).

The Portuguese took it from Brazil to West Africa. The Spaniards introduced peanuts to the Philippines from where they spread throughout tropical and sub-tropical Asia, and indeed the world. The peanut, grown mainly for human consumption, has several uses as whole seeds or processed to make peanut butter, oil and other products. The seed contains 25- 30% protein (average of 25% digestible protein) and 42-52% oil. One kilogram of peanuts is high in food energy and provides approximately the same energy value as two kilogram of beef, 1.5 kg of cheddar cheese, nine litres of milk or 36 medium size eggs. In Guyana, peanut production reached 2,279 tons in 1997, but this production steadily declined over the years to 1,313 tons in 2003. Peanut kernels are widely consumed as snack food in Guyana and can be processed in a variety of ways (e.g. peanut butter, roasted, fried and salted). There are many areas where peanuts are currently cultivated in Guyana. 

The most suitable areas for peanut production are the Rupununi Savannahs, Intermediate Savannahs, North West District (Wauna, Yarakita and Paruima), the Linden Highway, Upper Demerara and Upper Berbice Rivers. The peanut is an annual herbaceous plant that grows to a maximum height of 60 cm. It is characterized by bearing of fruits that develop and mature underground. Fertilization of the ovary results in the development of an elongated stalk (peg) which grows downwards and carries the ovary into the soil to a depth of 2-7 cm.

Duration of the growing period is cultivar dependent and generally lies within a 90-140 day range (Table 1). Peanuts are day neutral and flowering initiation is unaffected by photoperiod. Temperature is the major limiting factor for peanut yield. The germination temperature range is 15-45o C. During the growing period, an average temperature of 22-27o C is required. Dry weather is required for ripening and harvesting. Peanut cultivars adapted to grow under the local conditions can be separated into two types based on their growth habits. These are erect bunch and runner types. The recommended types are those that have a high market value and include the red coated seed (red nut), which are mostly bunch types and lighter pink coated seeds (white nut), which are in most instances runner types. 

Florunner is a late maturing (120 days) large seeded variety. It yields relatively well (1500-2000 kg/ha) under local conditions. Florunner has a spreading runner growth habit with a typical branching pattern.

It has a prolific fruiting habit with pods concentrated near the taproot. Guyana Jumbo is a large seeded roasting variety planted by farmers in the Rupununi. It was obtained from Brazil and sometimes referred to as ‘Brazil nut”. It produces yields up to 1200 kg/ha. It is tolerant to leaf spot and rust. C99R is a runner type recently introduced to farmers in the Rupununi Savannahs. It is moderately resistant to fungal leaf spot and rust disease affecting peanuts. The average yield is 1200 kg/ha. This type is mostly recommended for peanut production in the Rupununi AK 62 is an early maturing (90 days), red medium seeded variety. 

Its yield potential in the savannahs ranges between 800 – 1,200 kg/ha. AK 62 is more susceptible to Cercospera leaf spot than Florunner. GN 94-A2 is a large seeded variety which originated from Brazil. This variety exhibits good adaptability and yields up to 1200 kg/ha. Basanti has a bunchy growth habit with good yield potential of up to 1200 kg/ha.

Good land preparation is critical for maximum moisture retention, precision planting, fast uniform seed germination and emergence and effective weed and disease control. The first tillage should take place six weeks before planting using a disc plough. This tillage involves deep turning of the soil 20-30 cm in depth (8-12") to completely bury weed seed and incorporate crop residues. The second tillage operation is conducted using a spike harrow in order to create a suitable seedbed that is loose, smooth and level. On virgin soils, clearing and leveling is necessary. 

However, heavy equipment is not recommended for leveling since these contribute to soil compaction. The second tillage operation is conducted using a spike harrow in order to create a suitable seedbed that is loose, smooth and level. On virgin soils, clearing and leveling is necessary. However, heavy equipment is not recommended for leveling since these contribute to soil compaction. Peanuts grow best when the soil pH range is 5.8 to 6.2.

 

Availability of soil nutrients and the nitrogen fixation process are optimized in this range. Liming is usually needed in most of the peanut productive areas since soils tend to be low in calcium. Low levels of calcium result in peanut partial filling out or not at all, resulting in ‘wind nut’ formation. In the case of virgin land, limestone should be applied at least four weeks before planting, at a rate of 500 kg/ha (1500 lb/A). A soil test is advisable before recommendations are made. Crop rotation practices are recommended with non-leguminous crops e.g. corn and sorghum. 

This would reduce the pest and disease build up problems associated with prolonged monocropping. A major constraint is non-availability of quality seed of suitable and adaptable improved varieties to the farmers. The seed is a basic input and it alone would enhance production and productivity if quality was assured. The seed quality is a combination of multiple attributes. It refers mainly to genetic and physical purity, physiological and health quality. These parameters independently and in interaction with each other constitute the overall quality of seed. The peanut propagation material should possess all the major quality attributes above the prescribed standards. Poor stand is perhaps the most common cause of low yields. 

To obtain a full stand, use undamaged seed with intact seed coats and treat shelled seed with a seed dressing prior to planting. Commercial production should be limited to the May-June season.

Planting is dependent on the on-set of the rains, and it extends to the end of May or in some instances up to mid-June. It is better to plant during the middle of the rainy season (i.e. May/June or November/December), so that the crop matures in the dry season. 

This makes it easier for harvesting Before sowing, a Rhizobium inoculum should be applied to peanut seeds, especially when the soil is being used for the first time. Inoculation with Rhizobium bacteria stimulates nodulation on the roots, thus, causing the plant to provide its own nitrogen and consequently reducing the need to apply large quantities of nitrogenous fertilizer. When inoculating seeds, they should first be dampened and then mixed thoroughly with Rhizobium inoculant at 168 grams / 36 kg seed. Seed spacing and row width will depend upon grower practices; whether mechanization is used or the crop is managed with labour.

 

Generally in peanuts, the higher the planting density, the higher the yield. Close spacing promotes compact fruiting, even maturity, weed suppression and also reduces soil erosion. For mechanized systems, the currently available technology in the savannahs, allows, primarily for a row spacing of 75 cm and wider. Seeds are usually sown at a rate of 80 kg/ha for runner varieties and 75 Kg/ ha for bunchy varieties. The following are recommended spacings for the various cultivars and soil types: Weeds are a major problem for peanuts especially during the first 4-8 weeks. They reduce yields by competition, interference with harvest and by harbouring pests. Peanut is inherently a poor weed competitor and emphasis on cultural practices such as good land preparation and crop rotation are best recommended practices to farmers.

Perfecting the art of seasoning nuts

 

Nuts are thriving in the healthy snack food category. Their success shows no signs of stopping; health, convenience and taste are key drivers in purchasing behaviour. But nuts are nothing new, and today's consumers are demanding more.

 From sweet honey to spicy paprika or smoky barbecue, adding extra seasoning to nuts can deliver the diverse taste experiences consumers seek. There are several trends that are poised to further diversify the market and gain new followers. Consumers can  expect tropical sensory profiles with Latin American influences, such as olive, key lime, mango, paprika, dark rum and sour orange. Asian flavours will also hold court in the retail aisles, with new snack product development predicted to include exciting tastes like cardamom, tikka masala and matcha. Öz Star Machinery company provides many other machines such as coffee Roaster, fryer, coating pans, sugar coating drums etc..

To meet the growing demand for a wide variety of flavours, manufacturers require seasoning equipment that can complete multiple seasoning tasks over a short period of time. This includes being able to switch between flavours quickly and easily, adjust outputs according to demand and regulate oil and seasoning levels accurately. Building flexibility into the manufacturing process is therefore a critical consideration. There are two types of seasoning equipment available to snack manufacturers: main line seasoning (MLS) and on-machine seasoning (OMS) systems. Which technology is more suited often comes down to product mix, cost, flexibility and efficiency. MLS is a great solution for long, single product runs, while OMS offers a higher level of flexibility. 

Öz Star Nuts roasting machines provide the best quality of roasted hazelnut, coated almonds and chickpeas. OMS systems can be set up in multiple line configurations where each seasoning system applies a different flavour into individual bagging stations, but they are also ideal for shorter production runs that require regular changes on a single line.
