Abstract:This study evaluates the effects of spacing, and of N and K2O on Cabezona pineapple, a big fruit planted solely for the fresh market and grown in an Inceptisol at Lajas, Puerto Rico. Treatment differentials consisted of 3 spacings (30.5, 46 and 61 cm) between plants within the row, 61 cm between rows and 132 em between double rows. Significant fruit yield increases occurred with treatment differentials. Up to 88.4 t/ha were obtained from plants spaced 30.5 cm and receiving 224 and 252 kg/ha of N and K2O, respe… Show more
