    This document describes four methods of planting crops: 1. The square method involves planting in rows spaced equally with plants at the corners of squares. 2. The rectangular method is similar but with rows of different lengths spaced at varying distances. 3. The hexagonal method is based on equilateral triangles with plants at the corners, forming hexagonal spacing. 4. The diagonal method modifies the square pattern, adding a central "filler" plant to groups of four main crops, creating a diamond shape.

    METHODS OF PLANTING

    SQUARE METHOD

    In square planting, one plant or a group of plants in a common hill occupies the corners
    of a square which has 4 sides of equal lengths. A 10 m x 10 m spacing in square planting
    will result to a crop area having 10 rows and 10 cross-rows that are both 10 meters
    apart and perpendicular to each other. Diagonally, the plants also form rows that are
    about 7.1 meters apart.

    RECTANGULAR METHOD

    The rectangular arrangement is similar to a square pattern except that a rectangle has
    two sets of opposite sides having different lengths. A rectangular planting with 10 m x
    12 m will mean that two adjacent rows will be 12 meters apart and plants within each
    row will be spaced 10 m apart; perpendicular to these rows are cross-rows that are
    spaced 10 m with plants that are 12 m apart. When the plant-to-plant distance within
    the row is 1/3 to 1/2 of the distance between rows, the planting pattern is usually called
    hedgerow.

    METHODS OF PLANTING
    HEXAGONAL METHOD

    The triangular or hexagonal pattern of planting arrangement is based on an equilateral


    triangle, a triangle with three equal sides, that is formed by connecting 3 closest plants
    with an imaginary line. Six of these triangles that are connected to a common center
    hill will also form a perimeter that is hexagonal in shape. With 10-meter plant-to-plant
    spacing, there will be rows that are 5 meters apart and, perpendicular to these rows,
    cross-rows that are 8.66 meters apart. But within each row, adjacent plants are spaced
    17.32 meters and within each cross-row adjacent plants will be 10 meters apart. To
    maximize light exposure, the rows having the widest plant-to-plant spacing (17.32 m)
    are oriented in an east-west direction.

    DIAGONAL METHOD

    The quincunx or diamond pattern of arranging row-planted crops is a modified form of


    the square pattern. It consists of a square that is formed by 4 closest plants with an
    additional plant at the center of these 4 plants. The 4 plants that form a square are the
    main crops while the hill at the center is intended for another crop or variety and called
    a filler crop. By connecting with imaginary lines 4 closest hills that include 2 main hills
    and 2 filler hills, the shape that is formed is a diamond.
