The question asks which crop requires relatively wider line-to-line and plant-to-plant spacing. To understand this, we need to consider the growth characteristics and space requirements of each crop mentioned:
Given these characteristics, Sugarcane is the correct answer as it demands wider spacing compared to the other crops to accommodate its growth habit and intercultural activities.
The correct answer is (D) Sugarcane.
Let’s examine the spacing requirements for each crop:
(A) Maize: Maize generally requires moderate spacing between plants and rows, but not as wide as sugarcane.
(B) Chickpea: Chickpea is a legume that typically requires narrow to moderate spacing between plants and rows, but not as wide as sugarcane.
(C) Berseem: Berseem, being a forage legume, also requires moderate spacing for good growth, but it does not require extremely wide spacing like sugarcane.
(D) Sugarcane: Sugarcane requires relatively wider line-to-line and plant-to-plant spacing for optimal growth. It is a tall and vigorous crop, needing more space for proper root development and to accommodate its large size.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) Sugarcane because it requires the widest spacing among the listed options.
