TASK 3:

SYSTEM OF PLANTING
A.SQUARE SYSTEM
In square system, the CROPS are planted in four corners of a square keeping the same distance between
rows and from plant to plant in the same row.
This is the simplest and easiest system of plantation.

EXAMPLE,
B. Rectangular system

In rectangular system the trees are planted in the same way as in a square system except that the distance
between rows will be more than the distance between plants in the same row.

EXAMPLE
C. Quincunx or Diagonal system

Basically, quincunx or diagonal system is the same as the square system except for the addition of a crop
in the center of each square. In this system, the number of crops planted in the same area is almost double.

EXAMPLE,
D. Hexagonal system

In the hexagonal system, the crops are planted at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Six such triangles
are joined together to form a hexagon. Six trees are positioned at the corners of this hexagon with a seventh
in the center all arranged in the three rows. However the distance between tree to tree in six directions
from the central crop remains the same.

EXAMPLE
E. Contour system

A special system may be developed by the grower to meet conditions particularly in the hillsides where
land is steep, the topography is irregular, or the area is inclined. This is called the contour system of planting.
Its main purpose is to prevent or reduce soil erosion, and in some instances, to conserve moisture between
the crop rows.

EXAMPLE
 Activity

Task 4 :
Divide the class into 4 groups, each group select one system of planting used in horticultural operation
and discuss among the group Why you select that kind of planting system.
Write your output in one half sheet of paper, after 5 minutes the group report their output in the front.
