Some preliminary yield results from experiments on varying bed-widths at Rose Hall estate in Guyana.
1985
McLean F.C.
Treatments of one- two- and three-rod (12 feet 3 inches) beds with across-row or long-row planting were compared on low, intermediate and high elevation sites on the estate. Early indications were that long-row planting on wider beds had some advantage over across-the-bed rows, but overall yield differences for varying bed-widths were not significant. As the rainfall experienced was not above average for the plant and first ratoon crops together, the merit of the wider beds and across-row planting in wet years could not be evaluated.
