A study was conducted to see how the way wheat crops are planted affects how much sunlight they absorb. They looked at different row orientations and spacings to see which one worked best. They found that rows running north to south with narrow spacing had the highest leaf area and absorbed the most sunlight. This means that this planting method is the most effective for growing wheat and getting the most out of the sunlight available.
