For someone starting with a backyard plot, which stage tends to need the most attention: seed selection, planting, or care before harvest?

I agree, but I'd put steady care ahead of the earlier steps for most beginners.

It is helpful that the guide presents groundnut as both a household food crop and a possible cash crop, not only something for large farms.

A beginner can use this as a checklist: choose seeds, plant, follow the care steps, then plan ahead for harvest.
