To estimate the number of plants required for an acre, at any 

 given distance, multiply the distance between the rows by the distance 

 between the plants, which will give the number of square feet allotted 

 to each plant, and divide the number of square feet in an acre [43,560] 

 by this number. The quotient will be the number of plants required.
