* = Usually started indoors in early spring and
transplanted. Planting rate based on that method.
** = Columns 1 & 2 for planting rate based on direct
seeding.
*** = Transplanted
Planting Notes: Seeding
rates and spacing recommended above are, for the most part,
figured on the basis of harvest by hand. High density
planting rates and precision seed placement is now used on most
mechanically harvested and grown vegetable crops. Different
seeding rates would apply to those methods of propagation.
The effect of arrangement and plant density in relation to fruit
size, quality and total yield will vary depending on your local
environmental conditions during the planting, growing and harvest
seasons. Plant density must depend greatly on available
planting and harvesting equipment. Seeding rates should
depend in part on the total seed count (per oz/lb.) of seed in the
particular lot being used, taking in to account the germination
rate.
