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:
πΏ 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.
πΎ 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.
π 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.
