What should the spacing be for Southern peas?
Planting too many seeds is a problem for Mississippi's Southern pea growers. Seed should be at least three inches apart in the row and the rows should be at least 30 inches apart. Planting more seed causes the plants to become viney and compete with each other for light, water, and nutrients without necessarily increasing potential yield.
