Loose, well-drained loamy soil is considered most suitable for the growth of peanuts. Most varieties of peanuts grow well in dry conditions, but few require good irrigation conditions. Frost can be damaging for the growth of the plants. Hence the summer and spring time is best for planting. Peanuts are grown in rotation with other crops to maintain the yield.
