Optimal Harvesting Area and Plot Shape of Some Field Crops

Abstract

The study on optimal harvesting area and plot shape of corn, sorghum, soybean, mungbean, peanut, castor bean, cassava, kenaf, and cotton was conducted in many field crop experimental stations. Data were collected as basic units from the experimental plotsl Results indicated tha the optimal harvesting area for experimental plot of corn and sorghum are 9 m.2, soybean, mungbean, and peanut are 7 m.2 , castor bean and cassava a are 12 and 18 m.2 , respectively and the plot shape can be any type of rectangular, but kenaf and cotton are 7 m.2 and 15 m.2, respectively and the plot shape should be rectanguare with long length and narrow width.
