Row arrangement can affect yield and pod distribution pattern of trellised snow peas
1991
Kahn, B.A. | Nelson, W.A.
Trellised plants of 'Oregon Sugar Pod II' and 'Snowflake' snow peas (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon Ser.) were grown in single and double rows on 1-m centers at a constant population of 20 plants/m2 in 1988 and 1990. Plants of 'Oregon Sugar Pod II' produced a greater number and weight of fresh pods than plants of 'Snowflake' in both years. Plants grown in double rows (10 cm within-row spacing) produced a greater number and weight of fresh pods than plants grown in single rows (5 cm within-row spacing) in 1988, but not in 1990. Vine dry weights were greater from plants grown in double rows than from plants grown in single rows in both years. Double rows seemed more promising for home gardeners than for commercial growers because of the increased branching and more widely scattered pod distribution on plants grown in double rows compared with plants grown in single rows.
