| Abstract:
ORCHARD PLANNER is a new computer software program for on-farm use designed to assist growers in planning new orchard plantings. The simulation is based upon key questions involving space available, tree size desired, management input (labor and equipment resources) pollinizer requirements, varietal needs, previous site problems (nematodes, soil constraints, frost), grower goals for filling space, optimizing space, and least cost or minimal management (tree training) goals. | |
