Bambara Nuts

Planting

  • Bambara groundnut can be planted from late October, through No­vember to early December, after good rains.
  • Space ridges at 90 cm or 75 cm apart
  • Plant one seed per station spaced at 15 cm apart on the ridges
  • Where plant on flat is necessary, space planting rows 45 cm apart and plant one seed per planting station spaced 15 cm on each row.
  • 45 x 15 cm spacing gives higher yield than 90 x 15 cm
  • Seed rate of 100 to 110 kg per hectare is used.
