tailieunhanh - The effects of plant spacing on yield and quality of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.)cultivated in organic-oriented farming system on grey soil

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different plant spacing on the productivity and quality of butterfly pea grown on grey soil in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City. Six treatments correspond to plant spacing of 80 x 15 cm, 80 x 20 cm, 80 x 25 cm, 80 x 30 cm, 80 x 35 cm and 80 x 40 cm. | 10 Nong Lam University Ho Chi Minh City The effects of plant spacing on yield and quality of butterfly pea Clitoria ternatea L. cultivated in organic-oriented farming system on grey soil Duong T.
