Okro seeds are sown on 0.72 hectares of farmland at a spacing of 60cm. Calculate the expected plant population
Answer Details
To calculate the expected plant population of Okro seeds sown on 0.72 hectares of farmland at a spacing of 60cm, we need to know the area of the land in square meters. 1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters, so 0.72 hectares is equal to 7,200 square meters (0.72 x 10,000 = 7,200).
To calculate the expected plant population, we need to divide the area of land by the square of the spacing between plants. In this case, the spacing is given as 60cm, which is equal to 0.6 meters. So, the expected plant population is:
7,200 / (0.6 x 0.6) = 20,000
Therefore, the expected plant population for Okro seeds sown on 0.72 hectares of farmland at a spacing of 60cm is 20,000 plants.
