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.
