Generally square, quadrangle, chess and triangle planting are applied to flat areas. In sloping areas, contour planting is applied parallel to terrace curves. Let’s learn how to mark our seedling locations, dig seedling holes, plant our seedlings and understand the optimimum plantation times.

First: Marking Seedling Locations and Digging Seedling Holes

A space the length of half a tree should be left from the edge of an orchard and once this is accomplished, seedling markers should be placed along this edge, thereby marking each row. Because stroke sticks will be lost during digging, new sticks should be inserted on both sides of the planting board, enabling you to remove the marking sticks entirely.

A planting board commonly measures 59 inches long by 4-6 inches wide and seedling holes generally measure 20-27 inches (with a depth of 20-27 inches). The top soil and ground soil removed from the hole should be placed separately. It is more effective to dig holes prior to plantation so the soil can benefit from adequate aeration.

Seedlings must be pruned before plantation – this process is referred to as ”plantation pruning.”  Seedlings can be prepared by trimming off any roots that are crushed, broken and damaged during the digging process. Tangled roots should be separated and extra-long roots should be trimmed off. All of these necessary steps ensure that each seedling can take on the desired form.

While planting a seedling, it should be placed onto a planting board  so that the hole on the planting board will be in visual range.

The vaccination location of the seedling can then be inserted into the hole and filled with soil.

By initially mixing the soil with fertilizer, the top soil and ground soil can then become intermingled. Be sure to tamp the soil down firmly during while watering the seedlings.

Plantation Time of Seedlings:

Autumn plantation is highly recommended for seedlings because weather conditions are traditionally less severe — additionally, soil does not freeze at such superficial levels. On the other hand, spring plantation is quite dangerous and you may run the risk of stunting the rooting rate of your seedlings.
