There are five main systems of planting trees: 1. Rectangular system - trees are planted in straight rows at equal distances. Used for grapes. 2. Square system - trees are planted at the corners of squares so that intercultivation can be done easily in both directions. Plant and row distances are equal. 3. Diagonal/quincunx system - like the square system but with an additional tree planted in the center of each square, allowing for double the number of plants but unequal spacing. The central tree may be shorter-lived.

2. System of planting:-
• There are Five Systems of Plantings as follows:-
1. Rectangular system
2. Square system – all over India, it is adopted
3. Diagonal system (or Quinounx)
4. Hexagonal System
5. Contour system

3. System of planting:-
(1) Rectangular system : In this method trees are
planted in a straight line (row) giving a straight angle
only.
• It is suitable for grapes in Maharashtra.

4. System of planting:-
(2) Square system : In this method a tree is planted on
each corner of square.
• Intercultivation in both way is easy in this method.
i.e: Intercultural operation can be done
easily of both directions in square system.
• Plant to plant and row to row distance is
same.

(3) Diagonal or quincunx system:
This is the square method but with one more plant in the centre
of the square. This will accommodate double the number of
plants, but does not provide equal spacing. The central (filler)
tree chosen may be a short lived one.

6. System of planting:-
(3) Diagonal system : In this method at the centre of
each square a tree is planted. (filler tree)
(4) Hexagonal system : Also known as triangular
system In this system the trees are planted in each
corner of an equilateral triangle system ways, the
six trees form a hexagon with he seventh tree in the
centre. This system allows planting of 15% more
trees than square system.

(5) Contour system : It is usually followed on the hills
with high slopes. In this method trees are planted
across the slopes. Contour Trencher are dug out across
he slopes and trees are planted. The points having
same altitude are connected together by a line & the
trees are given spacing on this line. This retards he ill
effects of erosion.
