Plant Density Technique is Increasing Productivity in Mango Orchards in Brazil

Brazil has made advances in the research of cultivation in the semi-arid region. One of the primary advances in the field has been the implementation of orchards with reduced plant spacing. A common spacing today is 5 meters between rows and 1 meter between plants, totaling 2000 plants per hectare. With this spacing, it is possible to harvest 40kg of mangoes per plant, with estimated productivity is 80MT/ha. The higher density creates higher productivity on each farm.
