Table 2. The plant spacing and mature plant rate under different densities and row spacing arrangements during 2012–2014.
| Density | Row Spacing | Plant spacing (cm) | Maturity rate (%) |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012–2013 | 2013–2014 | |||
| D15 | R15 | 44.5 | 93.07c | 90.09b |
| R25 | 26.7 | 98.10a | 96.84a | |
| R35 | 19.1 | 96.27b | 92.22b | |
| D30 | R15 | 22.2 | 90.67d | 86.55c |
| R25 | 13.3 | 84.99e | 81.12d | |
| R35 | 9.5 | 80.03f | 74.62e | |
| D45 | R15 | 14.8 | 85.20e | 78.48d |
| R25 | 8.9 | 78.63f | 71.70e | |
| R35 | 6.4 | 70.30g | 64.00f | |
Values followed by different letters within the same column are significantly different according to the least significant difference (LSD) test (P < 0.05); Each data represents the mean of three replications; D15, D30 and D45 mean densities of 15, 30 and 45 × 104 plants ha−1; R15, R25 and R35 mean inter-row spacing of 15, 25 and 35 cm.
