High Density Planting in Fruit Crops

High density planting means to increase the plantation of the same species of plants per unit area without affecting the quality of fruits. It increases production and return per unit area, it is eco-friendly, efficient land use and resources like light, water and fertilizers, efficient pesticides application.

The main aim of high-density planting is to meet essential productivity requirements by balancing vegetative and productive growth without affecting the quality of fruits. The basic principle is to maximize the use of vertical and horizontal space per unit time and maximum return per unit of inputs and natural resources.

Advantages of High Density Planting:

• Low cost per unit production
• Allow mechanization in fruit crops
• Improved fruit yield and quality
• Efficient use of applied and natural resources

The high-density planting requires canopy management includes pruning, training i.e., positioning limbs in specific ways to manage growth and maintain the tree growth for strong and healthy trees using growth regulators. It also helps to increase fruit production and improve fruit quality in the long term.

For high density planting, it essentially requires agriculture machinery from initial stage to final harvesting stage. Those are

• Earth auger that helps to make a hole for planting.
• For removing weeds and soil, turning intra cultivar is very useful.
• Tree pruning tools are used to remove unnecessary limbs or branches from the tree.
• Orchard Sprayers are helpful for efficient pesticides application.
• Fruit picker for harvesting fruits without causing damage.

Spacing of plants are less in high density planting, hence entry of tractors is difficult for cultivating/weeding.
