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.
