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.
