How many black eyed peas to plant per ac-er?

To achieve optimal growth, it is recommended to plant approximately 100,000 to 120,000 black-eyed pea seeds per acre. This typically translates to about 18 to 24 inches between rows and 4 to 6 inches between plants within the rows. Proper spacing ensures adequate air circulation and sunlight exposure, which can enhance yield and reduce disease risk. Always consider local growing conditions and consult regional agricultural extensions for tailored advice.
