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
