ABSTRACT
Number of plants in a particular area depends on the canopy coverage of the individual plant. If the vigor of the plant is less, canopy coverage is less and requirement of plants per unit area will be more and vice-versa. A student recorded the plant population of wheat and moong in running meter. If the populations were 40/m and 11/m, respectively. Calculate the plant population/m2. In paired row planting, two adjacent rows of bases crop are paired. Thus, spaces between the successive closer rows are widen and these spaces may be utilized for planting intercrop. However, plant population of the main crop is kept constant. The row to row spacing for wheat and moong were 20 cm and 30 cm, respectively.
