In Kenya, many farmers lose yield not because of poor seed or fertilizer—but because crops are planted too close together. Proper spacing = stronger plants, healthier soils, and better harvests.
✅ Benefits of Good Spacing
- More sunlight for each plant 🌞
- Better root growth & nutrient absorption 🌿
- Good air circulation → fewer fungal diseases 🍂
- Reduced pest spread 🐛
- Easier weeding, spraying & harvesting 👩🏾🌾
- Higher yield & better quality produce 🌾🍅🥬
📏 Recommended Spacing (Kenya Guide)
🌾 Rice (TPR): 20 x 15 cm
🌾 Maize: 60–75 cm row × 20–25 cm plant
🥔 Cabbage/Cauliflower: 45 x 45 cm
🧅 Onion: 15 x 10 cm
🍅 Tomato: 60–75 x 45–60 cm
🌶️ Chili: 60 x 45 cm
🍌 Banana: 1.5 m x 1.5 m
👉 Closer spacing = more plants but high competition.
👉 Wider spacing = stronger plants, higher quality, better harvest.
