Groundnut develops 20–30 mature pods per plant with 1–2 kernels each. Sample several 1 m² quadrats across the field and average them for a reliable pre-harvest estimate.

Indicative planning figures based on published research averages. Local soil tests, varieties and weather change actual requirements — confirm with your agronomist or extension officer.

Farmers, FPOs and crop insurers use the free Groundnut Yield Estimator to predict yield before harvest from a few quadrat counts — no waiting for the threshing floor.

About Groundnut Yield Estimator

Estimate your groundnut yield weeks before harvest using the universal components-of-yield method. Groundnut develops 20–30 mature pods per plant with 1–2 kernels each. The formula multiplies plants per m² × pods per plant × kernels per pod × thousand-grain weight to give grains per m² and then yield: yield (kg/ha) = grains/m² × (1000-grain weight ÷ 1000) × 10. Count the components from a few representative one-square-metre quadrats, enter them here, and read the estimated yield in quintals and tonnes per hectare and the total for your field.

How to use Groundnut Yield Estimator

  1. 1Count plants in a 1 m² quadrat at several spots and average.
  2. 2Count the pods per plant and kernels per pod, and use the thousand-grain weight (weigh 1000 grains, or use the default).
  3. 3Read the estimated yield per hectare and for your whole field.

Why use Groundnut Yield Estimator?

  • Predicts yield before harvest from simple field counts
  • Uses realistic default components for groundnut
  • Outputs q/ha, t/ha and total field yield
  • Free, instant and fully in-browser

Frequently asked questions

How do I estimate groundnut yield before harvest?+

Use the components of yield: plants/m² × pods per plant × kernels per pod gives grains/m²; multiply by the thousand-grain weight ÷ 1000 for grams/m², then ×10 for kg/ha. Sample several quadrats and average for accuracy.

What is a good yield for groundnut?+

Groundnut develops 20–30 mature pods per plant with 1–2 kernels each. Yields vary widely with variety, soil and management — this tool lets you estimate your specific crop rather than rely on a district average.

Why count several quadrats?+

Crops vary across a field. Averaging counts from several representative one-square-metre quadrats (avoiding edges and gaps) gives a far more reliable estimate than a single spot.

Is this tool free and private?+

Yes — free, no sign-up, and all calculation runs in your browser, so it works offline in the field and your data never leaves the device.
