Example
The tree spacing in these irrigated groves ranges from 8m x 5m (250 trees/ha) to 7.5m x 4.5m (296 trees/ha). Although some irrigated trials have shown increased crops from more densely planted groves in early years, researchers generally agree that the 250-300 tree/ha groves are more economically viable in the long term.
Additional information
to maximize profits, nowadays plantations(2) consist of single-trunk trees obtained from nebulization in a nursery. They are arranged in rows of 7 to 8 m to allow for mechanical harverters to work in the rows. They face the south in order to make the most of daylight.
