WHAT IS IT
WHAT’S MORE
Illustration / Answers vary
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
Test I
Square System
1. Most easy and popular one.
2. In this row to row and plant to plant distance is kept similar.
3. Plants are exactly at right angle to each other.
4. Interculture operations can be done in both the directions.
Horizontal System
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.
 14
Hexagonal System
1. Accommodates 15 % more plants than the square system.
2. Plants are planted at the corner of equilateral triangle.
3. Six trees are planted making a hexagon.
4. The seventh tree is planted in the centre and called septule.
5. This requires fertile land.
Contour System
1. This system is usually followed in the hilly areas with high slopes but it is very much
similar to the square/rectangular system.
2. Under such circumstances, the trees may be well planted in lines following the contour
of the soil with only a slight slope.
3. Irrigation and cultivation are then practiced only across the slope of the land as this
practice reduces the chances of soil erosion.
4. In this system layout is done as in square/rectangular system, first by establishing the
base line at the lowest level and then marking for the trees should be done from the base
to the top.
5. Bench terraces are used where the slope is greater than 10 per cent.
Test II
Types of conventional sprinkler systems
1. Fully portable system
2. Semi-portable system
3. Fully permanent system
Advantages of drip or trickle irrigation
1. Water is conserved
2. Weeds are controlled because only the places getting water can grow weeds.
3. There is a low pressure system.
4. There is a slow rate of water application somewhat matching the consumptive use.
5. Application rate can be as low as 1 - 12 l/hr.
