Different Distances in 30-inch Rows on Norfolk Sand, Experiment Station 



Farm, Gainesville, Florida, 1928-1929 



the station (7) conducted spacing tests with both runner and Spanish 

 peanuts. The average results for the 2 years are reported in table 10. 

 Highest yields were obtained from runners spaced 6 inches and Spanish 

 spaced 3 inches in the drill. 



Georgia Coastal Plain Station Results. Average results of spacing 

 tests conducted 1930-1936 (14) are reported in table 11. The tests with 

 Spanish peanuts were conducted at Tifton. Highest yields were obtained 

 from 6-inch hills with rows 18 inches apart. It is reported, however, that 

 this width row is harder to cultivate than wider rows and attention is 

 called to the fact that such narrow rows and spacing require larger 

 quantities of seed. Rows spaced 24 to 30 inches apart with hills 6 inches 

 apart are believed to be the most practical for the Spanish variety.
