Rectangular System

Rectangular system

In this system, the plot is divided into rectangles instead of squares and trees are planted at the four corners of the rectangle in straight rows running at right angles.

Like square system, this system also facilitates the interculture in two directions.

The only difference is that in this system more plants can be accommodated in the row keeping more space between the rows.

Advantages

1. Lay out in rectangular shape.
2. More space between row to row.
3. Inter-cultural operations can be done in both the ways.
4. Plants get proper space and sunlight.
