How many trees per acre | cluster bean (gawar) plants per acre

You can plant approximately 40,000 to 50,000 cluster bean (gawar) plants per acre, depending on the row and plant spacing used.

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

🌿 Recommended Spacing

  • Row spacing: 30 cm to 45 cm

  • Plant spacing within rows: 10 cm to 15 cm

This spacing allows for optimal sunlight, air circulation, and nutrient access, which directly affects yield and disease resistance.

🌾 Plant Density Calculation

  • At 30 cm × 10 cm spacing:

    • Plants per square meter: ~33

    • Plants per acre (4047 m²): ~133,500 (not practical due to crowding)

  • At 45 cm × 15 cm spacing:

    • Plants per square meter: ~15

    • Plants per acre: ~60,000

  • Practical recommendation: 40,000–50,000 plants per acre is ideal for commercial farming, balancing yield and plant health.

πŸ“ˆ Impact on Yield

  • Closer spacing increases plant count but may reduce pod size and increase disease risk.

  • Wider spacing improves pod quality and air flow but reduces total plant count.

  • Best practice: Use 30 cm row spacing for higher yield in semi-arid regions.
