Synopsis Planting Jumbo Runner peanuts at variable spacings as close as six inches between plants resulted in higher yields as the space between plants was decreased. The closer spacing retarded the rate of fruit development. Border effect with close spacing was found to extend through two rows and the error from failure to eliminate an adequate number of border rows increased as the space between plants decreased.
