A farmer wants to maximise maize yield per hectare. Two possible planting spacings are available: (i) 75 cm between rows and 25 cm between plants in a row, giving a yield of 150 g per plant; (ii) 60 cm between rows and 20 cm between plants, giving a yield of 120 g per plant. Which spacing will give the higher total yield per hectare and what is the expected yield (in tonnes) for that spacing?
