The impact of plant row spacing on border effect in the case of spring wheat
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences- SGGW - Agriculture - Year 2015, Vol 66, Issue 66
Abstract
The field research study was conducted to examine the impact of row spacing on border effect in spring wheat. Plants growing in a dense canopy and rows separated by tramlines were compared. Tramlines applied in field research varied in width - they were either 32.4 or 43.2 cm wide. It was found that increasing of tramline width from 32.4 to 43.2 cm did not lead to substantial changes in the border effect, which amounted to 65 and 66%, respectively. Vertical range of the border effect encompassed the two subsequent rows of plants, growing on both sides of the tramline.
