Abstract

Seedbed configuration inevitably affects the growth and development of fruit crops in a way that canopy overlaps which might lead to intraspecific competition. Hence this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of varying seedbed configurations on growth and fruit physico-chemical characteristics of MD-2 pineapple. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four treatments and three replications. Seedbed configurations (25 28 30 and 32 seedbeds block-1 respectively) with a constant of 75 000 planting density hectare-1 served as treatments. All plants received similar intercultural management practices employed in commercial pineapple farm. Results revealed that growth and fruit physico-chemical characteristics of MD-2 pineapple were comparable in all seedbed configurations used. The results indicate that MD-2 pineapple production is still feasible using the 25 to 32 seedbeds block- configurations with a 75 000 planting density hectare-.
