Planting Systems
Planting systems are chosen based on the orchard’s location, climate and topography, plant species to be planted, and orchard management procedures. Growing systems are also known as layout systems, because no one strategy is appropriate for planting fruit plants in all situations.
Overview
- Planning the Orchard: Make a plan that will allow the producer to give the most cost-effective orchard management, as well as a cost-effective layout and placement of roads, drains, irrigation channels, hedges, and windbreaks, among other things.
- Prepare Layout Systems: Layout refers to determining the location of trees, roads, and structures in the orchard that is being constructed. The systematic planting of trees is referred to as a layout system.
Square system
Rectangular system
Hexagonal System
Quincunx or Diagonal system
Contour system
Terrace system
Determine Counts, Measure Areas, and Calculate Linear Feet
Measure the measurements of an area quickly and accurately to calculate how much seed, sod, mulch, gravel, pavers, tiles, and other materials you’ll need. Look for symbols in landscaping layouts to automatically count elements like shrubs, trees, and stones. To calculate piping lengths for irrigation, measure linear feet, and utilize Takeoff’s auto-count option to count sprinkler heads efficiently.
