Transplanting & Insect Management Gary Palmer
Plant Spacing • Populations • Row Width • 40 – 42” • In Row Spacing • 22 –24”
Effects of Plant Population on Returns to Labor & Management
Plant Spacing • Calculating Plant Population • Space per plant • (Row width x In Row)/144 • Ex. (40 x 22)/144 = 880/144 = 6.111111 • Sq ft per acre = 43560 • 43560/space per plant • 43560/6.111111 = 7128 plants per acre
Effects of In-row Spacing on Plant Population Difference = 3267, if Ten acres = 32,670
