Planting
What is an Orchard
Layout?
An orchard's layout is the
technique of planting the
crops in a proper system.
1.SQUARE system
- The simplest of all the
method and is adopted widely.
-In this system row to row and
plant to plant distances are kept
similar. The plants are planted
exactly at right angle at each
corner. Thus, every four plants
make one square. This is good for
Mango, Banana, and citrus crops.
2. RECTANGULAR
SYSTEM
-The square method is modified by
making the rows farther from east
to west and from north to south to
allow maximum sunlight to reach
the trees.
-This design is used to set trees at
unequal distances.
3. TRIANGULAR SYSTEM
- This provide more space for
the trees and for intercrops as
compared to square method.
-This is an intense method of
planting and hence requires fertile
land. In the suburb of cities where
land is costly, this system is worth
adopting. However, the layout of
the system is hard and challenging.
4. QUINCUNX SYSTEM
- This is like the square method
with a tree placed in the center of
each of the squares.
-This system is also known as filler or
diagonal system. To make use of the
empty space in the center of each
square is by planting another plant
called as “filler” plants.
5. HEXAGONAL SYSTEM
- This method utilizes

the space in the orchard

fully to grow more trees.
6. CONTOUR SYSTEM
- It is adopted in hilly areas for planting
fruit plants where land is unevenly
distributed, and soil erosion is a great
threat.
- The layout started from the lowest
level and the tree rows are planted along
uniform slopes at right angle to the slope
with a view to reduce loss of topsoil due
to erosion.
-The main purpose of this method
is to minimize land erosion and to
conserve soil moisture .
