Best Answer

Groundnuts, or, as they are most commonly called in the US, peanuts, are grown in ridges to most easily facilitate the harvester. The harvester has to dig them up in a very similar way to potatoes, and so has a similar digging mechanism. The ridges also provide other benefits such as helping to direct excess water which could facilitate disease dvelopment away from the crop.

Groundnuts are grown on ridges to improve drainage and prevent waterlogging of the plants. The ridges elevate the soil where the groundnuts are planted, helping to ensure good aeration for the roots. This practice also helps with weed control and provides easier access for harvesting.
