Detailed explanation-1: -Both the leaves and the roots need room to grow. The leaves need space so they sunlight can get to them. The roots need room to spread out to absorb water and nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants in a crowd compete for more than light; they are also jostling for space, nutrients and moisture. If they are overcrowded, they will be inherently weaker but also stretch more, and the result is something lofty but feeble.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crowded seedlings are a common problem that can prevent plants from reaching their full potential. If you don’t plant your seeds far enough apart, they’ll have to compete for the same sun, water, air and nutrients in the soil.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nutrient Deficiencies Overcrowded plants must compete with each other for soil nutrients, which can result in increased fertilizer needs. Soil contains a finite amount of nitrogen and other necessary plant nutrients. The more plants there are in a small space, the more quickly these nutrients are used up.
