Planting System QUIZ

This system is based on the principles of isolateral triangle. The distance between any two adjacent trees in a row is equal to the perpendicular distance between any two adjacent rows.

• Triangular System

• Square System

• Hexagonal System

• Free System

This is a modification over Square system of layout. It is similar to the square system but there is on plant in the middle of the square, which is known as the filler plant (examples- Banana, Papaya, Pineapple etc).

• Square System

• Quincunx System

• Triangular System

• Rectangular System

Additional income can be earned from the filler crop till the main crop comes into bearing. This is the advantage of what planting system?

• Quincunx System

• Contour System

• Square System

• Triangular System

It is followed in hilly areas for planting fruit plants where land is undulated, irrigation of the orchard is difficult and soil erosion is the major problem.

• Hexagonal System

• Triangular System

• Contour System

• Square System

This system accommodates 15% more plants than square system. The plants are planted at the corner of equilateral triangle.

• Square System

• Rectangular System

• Hexagonal System

• Triangular System

Fifteen percent more trees can be planted as compared to the square system. This is the advantage of what planting system?

• Quincunx System

• Hexagonal System

• Triangular System

• Square System

The following are all disadvantages of Contour System except;

• Laying out of contour lines is difficult and time-consuming.

• Special instruments are required for making contour lines.

• Planting distance may not be uniform.

• Intercultural operations become difficult.

The following are all disadvantages of Quincunx System except;

• Skill is required to layout the orchard

• Inter/filler crop can interfere with the growth of the main crop

• Panting distance may not be uniform.

• Intercultural operations become difficult.
