Tea yields were compared from single-row plots (2 m apart, 63-m spacing within rows) and double-row plots planted at 2 different row spacings (2 m between row centres, rows 90 cm apart, plant spacing of 83 or 56 cm within rows), giving plant densities of 8000, 12000 and 18000 bushes per ha. Over a 6-year period total dry weight yields from double-row plots (10.70 t per ha) were significantly higher than from single-row plots (8.21 t per ha), but there was no significant difference between yields from double-row plots with different within-row spacing.
