Row Spacing Studies, Safford Agricultural Center, 1994 and 1995

Abstract

Four varieties (or variety types) were tested over three row spacings in the two years reported in this study. Two barbadense varieties, S6 and S7 or OA 312, and two hirsutum varieties, DP 90 and a NM acala were planted in 30 inch, 36 inch and 40 inch row spacing environments. Optimal row spacing varied by variety over the two years but averaged over the two years, the 36 inch spacing provided the highest yields for all varieties except for the NM acatas.
