Fruit Planting Density


FRUIT PLANTING DENSITY ARE IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE NUMBERS OF PLANTING MATERIAL PREPARED BEFORE PLANTING ACTIVITY. THE FRUIT SEEDLING HAS TO BE PREPARE FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS BEFORE LAND PREPARATION STARTED OR PURCHASE FROM AUTHORISED FRUIT NURSERY. THIS ARTICLE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE TO CALCULATE PLANTING DISTANCE AND PLANT DENSITY FOR MAJOR FRUIT CROP IN MALAYSIA BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE IN ORCHARD REPLANTING PROGRAM.

BELOW ARE 25 SELECTED FRUIT :-

1. STAR FRUIT (Averhoa carambola)
PLANTING DISTANCE = 6 M X 6M
NUMBER OF TREE/HA = 268 TREE
POTENTIAL YIELD = 15,000 KG/HA

2. PAPAYA (Carica papaya)
PLANTING DISTANCE = 3M X 3M
PLANTING DENSITY = 1,120 TREE/HA
POTENTIAL YIELD = 60,000 KG/HA

3. CHEMPEDAK (Artocarpus chempeden)
PLANTING DISTANCE = 9M X 9M
PLANTING DENSITY = 123 TREE/HA
POTENTIAL YIELD = 15,000 KG/HA

4. CIKU (Manikara sapota)
PLANTING DISTANCE = 9M X 9M
PLANTING DENSITY = 123 TREE/HA
