Are You a Landscaping Expert?

Study Notes

Land organization is important for preventing soil degradation and optimizing production.
Plots should be rectangular and have a single morphological unit of land.
Landscaping works combat soil erosion and provide conditions for mechanization of works.
Terraces are the main anti-erosion facilities and are built on slopes with an inclination greater than 15-18%.
A well-established road network is necessary for transportation of materials.
Irrigation systems are necessary for orchards with dwarf trees and low precipitation.
Retention basins are built to collect excess water for spraying and watering.
Evacuation of excess water is mandatory on lands with excess moisture.
Clearing, cleaning, and leveling of the land is necessary before planting.
Planting distances are determined by the type of orchard, crown shapes of trees, rootstock, and soil fertility.

Planting trees requires several technical steps, including picketing the land, digging pits, and tree control.
The dimensions of the pits depend on the type of soil preparation before planting.
The pits can be executed mechanically or manually with the help of a frame and picket stake.
Fertile soil mixed with mineral fertilizers is used to fill the pits.
Trees must be planted using biological material guaranteed in terms of authenticity, quality, and health.
Autumn plantings give better results than spring plantings.
Trees planted in the fall develop new roots faster and have higher growth in the first year.
Trees must be planted at the depth at which they grew in the nursery.
Planting is done by a team of 2-3 workers.
The soil must be trampled and compacted well around the roots of the tree.
Watering is important for autumn and spring plantings
Mulching around the tree protects roots from frost and dryness
Faulty planting can cause tree failure
Common planting deficiencies include improper placement, poor soil compaction, lack/excess of water, and fertilizer damage
Planting trees requires organization and trained workers
Planting should be done by variety
Planting is a large volume job in specialized farms
Water should be added to the hole during autumn plantings if weather is dry
Mulch should be 30-40 cm high and wider than the pit edges
Soil from the pit bottom can be used to form a small terrace around the tree.
