The fertility of a particular field is such that maximum corn yield is obtained with a population of 54,000 plants per hectare. A checkrow corn planter is used which discharges 2 seeds/hill. Average emergence is 85%.
Row spacing = hill spacing. Find the spacing:
a. 0.56 m
b. 0.75 m
c. 0.65 m
d. 1.0 m

A

a. 0.56 m

Nh = (54,000 plants)/(0.85x2 seeds/hill) = 31765 hills

Rs x Hs = (10,000 m2)/31765 hills = 0.31 m2
