Question: What is shelling percentage in groundnut?

November 10, 2021 Alice Henneman

Contexts in source publication The average shelling percentage of peanut varieties was 68.82% in main crop and was 68.97% in double crop growing season (Figure 7). The shelling percentage was found higher in double crop than in main crop.

What is shelling in groundnut?

One of the important processes involved in the production of groundnut is shelling and separation. Shelling is the removal of the groundnut seed from its pod by impact action, compression and shearing or combination of two/more of these methods.

What is the percentage of oil in groundnut seeds?

Groundnut kernel contains 45 to 55% of oil.

What is shelling percent?

Shelling percentage = ( 100 x weight shelled (kg)) / weight unshelled (kg) Shelling percentage can be used to convert unshelled harvest weights to estimates of shelled weights.

What is the difference between 1 kg and 1 Litre oil?

1 kg oil = (1/0.9) litre = 1.1 litre.

How do you calculate grain yield?

Using Table 1 determine the grain weight for the crop concerned (C) Yield in t/ha = (A × B × C) / 10,000. For example, to calculate a wheat yield where:

Average number of heads/pods per m2 is 220 (A)

Average number of grains per head/pod is 24 (B)

Weight of 100 grains of wheat is 3.4g (per Table 1) (C)

What is yield per hectare?

Crop yield is a measurement of the amount of agricultural production harvested per unit of land area. Crop yield is the measure most often used for cereal, grain or legumes and is normally measured in bushels or pounds per acre in the U.S. (metric ton or kilogram per hectare outside the U.S.).

How do you calculate crop yield per acre?

For example, if a wheat producer counted 30 heads per foot squared, and each head contained 24 seeds, assuming a 1,000-kernel weight of 35 grams the crop yield estimate using the standard formula would be 30 x 24 x 35 x 0.04356 = 1,097 kg/acre.

What is the yield of groundnut per acre?

Seed rate of 80-100 kilograms is enough for cultivation in 1-acre land. In recent days there is an increase in the availability of high yielding varieties which may yield up to 20 quintals per acre.

How can we check the purity of groundnut oil?

Check if your groundnut oil is pure

Take a cup of groundnut oil and keep in a fridge for a few hours.

When taken out of the fridge, it must be in solid-state.

The groundnut oil must become solid at 37 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the oil is not in a solid-state after being taken out of the fridge, then it is surely a counterfeit.

Which type of groundnut contains more oil?

Groundnut variety ICGV 03043 has the highest oil content of 53% among cultivars grown in India. Normal varieties have about 48%, and farmers get a higher price with every additional 1% of oil in the produce.
