Synopsis In rows 81/2 feet apart, highest ear corn yields occurred at closer within‐row spacings than those which usually give maximum yields at closer between‐row spacings. Differences in within‐row spacings from 1 to 4 inches had little effect on total plant weight per acre, but the closer spacings within this range increased the stover: ear ratio. Root pattern of individual plants changed from circular to oblong at within‐row spacings below 8 inches.
