| Introduction:
Fertile land is limited
and the demand for agricultural products is high. Farmers
attempt to get the most from their land or in other
words optimize their productivity.
Depending on the type
of plant, farmers follow certain rules for plant depth
and spacing. For example, tomato plants are often spaced
about 12" to 16" from each other in a row and
there is about 3 to 5 feet between rows. Farmers know
that not enough space between seeds or transplants is
known as crowding, which has negative effects on plants.
