Question

how to claculate plant population per hectare formula?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The Plant population of any field is given by multiplying the between plants spacing with the spacing between the rows.

2. The total area of a hectare is 10000 square metres.

3. Divide 10000 by the result of multiplying the between plant spacing and the between rows spacing as given in as shown below

Plant population =

10 000

_____________________

between plants spacing (m)x between rows spacing row (m)

Example:

If the between plant spacing of potatoes is 30cm and between row spacing is 90cm what is the plant population per hectare?

1. First convert cm to m

30cm =0.3m, 90cm =0.9

2. Multiply between plants spacing and the between rows spacing

0.3m x 0.9m = 0.27 sqm

3. Divide area of 1 hectare by 0.27sq m

10000 sq m / 0.27 sq m = 37037

4. Therefore the Plant population of potatoes per ha is 37037
