Enter the plant spacing and row spacing into the calculator to determine the number of stems per hectare. This calculator helps in planning the layout of a plantation or agricultural field.
Stems Per Hectare Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the number of stems per hectare.
SPH = frac{10,000}{PS times RS}Variables:
- SPH is the number of stems per hectare
- PS is the plant spacing in meters
- RS is the row spacing in meters
To calculate the number of stems per hectare, divide 10,000 by the product of the plant spacing and the row spacing.
What is Stems Per Hectare?
Stems per hectare is a measure used in forestry and agriculture to estimate the number of plants or trees that can be planted in one hectare of land, considering the spacing between plants and between rows. This measure is crucial for ensuring optimal growth conditions and for estimating the potential yield of the plantation.
How to Calculate Stems Per Hectare?
The following steps outline how to calculate the number of stems per hectare.
- First, determine the plant spacing (PS) in meters.
- Next, determine the row spacing (RS) in meters.
- Use the formula SPH = 10,000 / (PS × RS).
- Finally, calculate the number of stems per hectare (SPH).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Plant Spacing (PS) = 2 meters
Row Spacing (RS) = 2.5 meters
