At 6500 plants and more ha-‘, the relative
increase in chip production begins to stagnate.
Consequently, a relative small chip production
gain is obtained through the use of very high
plant densities (750&10 500 plants ha-‘) in
relation to a moderate plant density (5500-6500
plants ha Thus, the production gain is higher
at lower plant densities.
