EFFECTIVE LAND AREA IN CROP PRODUCTION

O. Carlyle Bourne

No 262960, 18th Annual Meeting, August 22-28, 1982, Dover, Barbados from Caribbean Food Crops Society

Abstract: A number of fields which were prepared for vegetable production were measured to establish the gross area and the area reserved for beds. The area reserved for beds in each field was then expressed as a percentage of the gross field area, thus giving the effective area to be used in crop production. The effective area is therefore the area in which activities such as planting, spraying, fertilizer application and harvesting will be confined and concentrated with respect to the gross area.
