Most row spacing information comes from a combination of fertilization schedules and mechanical harvesting guidelines for commercial farming. The same goes for some popular but misguided tips on growth practices.
For example: a lot of people insist on trimming their onions despite the fact that the practice was started to make mechanical planting easier and several research studies back up the fact that doing it reduces overall yield and allows entry points for diseases and pests
Figure out what works best in your field/bed context and the variety you’re growing.
I sow 5 rows of carrots across my 30” beds, about 2” apart in the row.
