“…However, there were no row spacing effects on spring wheat and winter wheat in Saskatchewan, Canada (Lafond and Gan, 1999;Johnston and Stevenson, 2001) and in the North China Plain (Chen et al, 2010). While most studies found that canola yield was higher for narrower row spacing in different regions (Kutcher et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014), a higher canola yield was also observed for wider row spacing under coastal climatic conditions of Lasbela (Waseem et al, 2014). Therefore, row spacing effects may depend on specific climatic conditions of an area, and yield component compensation may contribute to non-decreasing crop yields with wider row spacing in some regions.…”
