1. There are several methods for planning orchards, including square, rectangular, hexagonal, triangular, diagonal/quincunx, and contour systems. 2. The square system plants trees at each corner of a square plot, allowing for easy layout and intercropping in two directions. This method is commonly used for crops like mango, banana, and citrus. 3. The hexagonal system plants trees at each corner of an equilateral triangle, spacing them equally apart. Intercultivation is difficult with this method.

1. Different Methods of
Planning Orchards

2. 1. Square
System
In this case a tree is planted on
each corner of a square whatever may be
plating distance. This plant commonly
followed as it is easy to layout, inter
cropping and cultivation is visible in two
direction e.g. Mango, Banana and citrus
crops.

4. 2. Rectangular
System:
This system is similarly that
of the sequre system in its layout except
in this layout except in this layout row to
row and crop to plant spacing is not
some. e.g Grape ( 3 *2 m ).

6. 3. Hexagonal
System:
In this method the trees are
planted each corner of equilateral
triangular. The trees are equally space
from each other. In this system inter
cultivation is difficult.

8. 4. Triangular
System:
In this system they are planted as in
the square system but the plants in th 2nd,
4th,6th, and other alternate rows. These
systems have no special advantages over
the square system except more space for
the trees and inter corps. It is difficult for
layout cultivation.

10. 5. Diagonal or
Quincupy:
It is differing from some symptom by
planting and additional tree in the center of
each square of plant of trees. The central
tree is usually the filler tree which only for a
shorter period. In this layout population
becomes double than square system of
mango+ papaya, mango+ fig.

12. 6. Contour
System:
It is only followed on hills
with high slopes. In this case the tree
rows are planted along a uniform slope
and usually at right angle to the slope
with the idea of reducing loss of top
soil due to soil erosion.
