I realise that spacing of 60cm works well...but most conventional farming aducators advise against any spacing below 75cm. My argument with them is how do they form a good moisture preserving canopy if they are so wide apart? Thanks for the education.
The primary consideration for interspacing revolves around optimizing light exposure rather than moisture. Many varieties lack erect leaves, making it advisable to maintain a spacing of not less than 75 cm. This ensures that leaves don't intertwine, minimizing light competition. Erectile leaves, in contrast, grow upward, allowing for better light interception and utilization.
Much appreciated love from Portugal ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate your support. Sending greetings to Portugal 🙏

Good idea
Nice work, Erick! 👏
Thanks 😊
Good
Thanks
Whats the best spacing for maize in hot and wet regions.
Make sure you have minimum of 40,000 plants/hectare...when condition allow you can have 90,000 plants/hectare.
@@ERICKKUMARIThank you sir..
@@nelsonmuturi8371 You're welcome 😊
No need for weed control?
It reduces weed to some extent, it's far better than conventional agriculture when it comes to weed management.

Can this be done on Virgin land?
@@JesusisLord78 Definitely Yes...but the next succeeding crop will benefit more than the first to be sown... It is like investing for the future.
