“…Contrary to the results found in this work, Sanchez et al (1993) reported 73-88% germination in pepper influenced by plant spacing. Wide spaces with single stem plants conditioned with a favorable environment provided a better opportunity to increase the effectiveness of light and photosynthesis.…”

The pepper crop is cultivated in all Brazilian regions, and the planting system with the arrangement of plants in the single-row prevails. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and physiological quality of the seeds of different pepper genotypes according to the planting systems. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Uberlândia, in Monte Carmelo, in a randomized blocks experimental design, in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, four genotypes (UFU-62-5M; UFU-28-1M; UFU-58-6D and UFU-5-3BD) under two planting systems (Single-row planting-SRP and Double-row planting-DRP), with four repetitions. The spacing of 0.6 m between plants and rows was used in the SRP. In the DRP, the spacing of 0.6 m between rows and 1.20 m between plants were used. Each plot was composed of six plants, the two central plants were considered for the evaluations of total production; fruit mass; fruit diameter; fruit length; electric conductivity of seeds; 1000-seeds weight; fruit production; first germination count; and chlorophyll a and b. The double-row planting had significant increases in the physiological quality of pepper seeds; thus, for seed production, this would be the best system. Because there are no differences in productivity between the systems, the double-line system would be advantageous to facilitate the harvesting and allow future mechanization.

“…Treatment combination Y 2 S 7 (double stem and 90×30 cm) recorded maximum (9.43 g) seed yield per plant while interaction Y 2 S 5 (double stem and 90×15 cm) gave the highest seed yield per hectare (519.71 kg) which was at par with Y 1 S 2 (single stem and 60+30×15 cm). Sanchez et al (1993) reported lower seed yield with closer spacing in bell pepper. However Singh et al (1989) and Khurana et al (2002) reported lower seed yield with wider spacing in chilli.…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting geometry and training on growth and seed yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) using cultivar Solan Lalima during Kharif 2013 at Experimental Farm of Department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P.). The treatments comprised of four training levels i.e. Y1 (single stem), Y2 (double stem), Y3 (unpruned with horizontal string) and Y4 (unpruned bush stakes (control)) and eight plant densities viz. S1 (60×15 cm), S2 (60+30×15 cm), S3 (60×30 cm), S4 (60+30×30 cm), S5 (90×15 cm), S6 (90+30×15 cm), S7 (90×30 cm) and S8 (90+30×30 cm). Analysis of variance showed that the treatment combination Y1S7 (single stem and plant spaced at 90×30 cm) resulted in maximum ripe fruit length and width (5.86 cm and 5.06 cm, respectively), maximum number of seeds/fruit (110.67), minimum days to ripe fruit harvest (71.00) and maximum harvest duration (59.84 days) but gave the low seed yield. The combination Y2S5 (double stem and 90×15 cm) resulted highest seed yield i.e. 519.71 kg per hectare. Therefore, planting density S5 (90x15 cm) in combination with training system Y2 (double stem) may be recommended for commercial seed production of tomato.

“…In both main and ratoon crops, the 1.5 × 1.5 m spaced plants had the highest fruit weight and number of fruits per plant. Since these widest spaced plants had lowest competition for soil nutrients and light, it was most likely that they would produce more and bigger sized fruits (Sanchez et al, 1993). On other side, the overlapping of plants at the closest spacing might have resulted in competition for light and soil nutrients leading to low fruit performances when compared to the wider spaced plants.…”

Field study was undertaken to standardize spacing and fertigation levels for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) grafts. A strip plot design was adopted with four spacing levels (1 × 1, 2 × 1, 1.5 × 1.5 and 0.6 × 0.6 m) and three fertigation levels: 75, 100 and 125% recommended dose of fertiliser (RDF) replicated four times. After six months, the plants were pruned to obtain the ratoon crop which lasted four months. The days taken for 50% flowering and first harvest were affected by nutrition and neither spacing nor interaction. The 75 and 100% RDF were on par for early flowering (32.00 and 32.38 days in main crop; 16.88 and 17.00 days in ratoon crop); and early harvest (44.38 and 45.44 days in main crop; 34.38 and 35.56 days in ratoon crop). The treatment combination 1 × 1 m + 100% RDF recorded the highest marketable yield of 110.25 and 59.42 t/ha, in main and ratoon crops, respectively. Thus, cultivation of eggplant grafts under 1 × 1 m spacing along with 100% RDF (200:150:100 kg NPK/ha) through drip fertigation is recommended.
