Which of the following systems follows the vertical row planting pattern system of layout?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) Rectangular system

Explanation:
• In the rectangular system of orchard layout, plants are set at the four corners of a rectangle.
• The distance between rows is kept more than the distance between plants within the row (R > P).
• This results in clear, straight vertical and horizontal rows, allowing for easy mechanical cultivation in one direction (the wider row space).

Information Booster:
• The Square System is a special case of the rectangular system where R = P.
• The Hexagonal system (also called equilateral triangle system) accommodates 15% more plants than the square system.
• The Quincunx system adds a 'filler' plant in the center of a square, nearly doubling the plant population initially.

Additional Knowledge:
• Hexagonal system (Option B): Plants are not in simple vertical/horizontal rows but form a honeycomb pattern.
• Quincunx system (Option C): Includes a central plant which breaks the clear vertical row line of the main framework.
• Triangular system (Option D): Plants in even rows are placed midway between those of odd rows, creating diagonal lines rather than vertical row alignment.
