Conducting Field Trials to Test Different Planting Arrangements (E.G., Row Spacing, Within-Row Spacing) and Their Effects on Phyllanthus Yield

Abstract

Phyllanthus is an important medicinal plant valued for its active compounds, including phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin. Understanding the optimal planting arrangement is crucial for maximizing Phyllanthus yield and improving the efficiency of its cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different row spacing and within-row spacing on the growth and yield of Phyllanthus.

A field trial was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments included three levels of row spacing (30 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm) and three levels of within-row spacing (15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm), resulting in a total of nine planting arrangement treatments. A control treatment with the standard planting arrangement was also included.
