Row spacing
distance for your rawit chili pepper farming should be determined before
planting. You have to make sure your tools and materials are ready. Most
farmers in Indonesia use 1.2 m seedbeds with row spacing distance 80 cm or
about 15-20 cm from the sides of the seedbeds and 50 cm between rows.
Make sure your row spacing distance suits your needs. If you want to do
intercropping, then you have to widen your seedbeds. Agrofarming recommends row
spacing distance 70-100 cm with 25 cm from seedbed sides.

Row spacing distance needs to be carefully determined because if the
distance is not enough, your chili pepper plants will not get enough sunlight
because they’re too close to one another or if the distance is too big, it
would be a waste of land.
Another
choice of row spacing distance is width 1.25 m with 0.5 m distance between rows
and 0.8 m distance within rows. Some other farmers use the 1.5 m row spacing
distance between rows with 1.0 m distance within rows.
