TO FIGURE THE NUMBER OF PLANTS REQUIRED TO THE ACRE

To find the number of plants required to plant an in acre, multiply the distance apart that the plants are to be set in the rows, by the distance between the rows, then divide 43,560 (the number of square feet to the acre) by the result.

Example – suppose the plants are to be set 2 feet apart in the rows and the rows are 2 feet apart.  2 x 2 = 4 feet, 43,560 divided by 4 =10890, the number of plants required to the acre.

If the plants are to be set one inch apart, it would be necessary to multiply 43,560 square feet by 144, the number of square inches in a foot, giving 6,272,640 plants required to the acre if set out one inch apart.  If set 2 inches by 2 inches apart, multiply 2 x 2=4 inches, and divined 6,272,640 by result 4, which equals 1,568,160.
