| الملخص: | 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-¹ configurations with a 75,000 planting density hectare-¹. |
