Didn't you consider competition?
What do you think will affect one seedling and won't affect the others?
Do you think that if he considered putting 2-3 seeds, he wouldn't need to add spaces from what he currently has?

you funny sha.

You think maize plants die because diseases?

As the grow, rain and wind and even him just working and walking inside the farm will break some maize in the stands.

By then, they would have grown beyond replacement.

Secondly, there's little competition between 2 or 3 seeds in a stand.

And no, you don't have to increase the spacing.

This is from both agricultural textbooks and from personal experience from years of farming.

It's never ideal to plant one per stand maybe yam. We do it with cassava before but now, it's 2 cassava stick per heap because one per heap always need constant replacement and consequence loses.

Even pepper, we plant maximum of 3 in a stand.

No one plants 1 per stands. It's not a good use of land

Perfecto
