Citrus row spacing in coconut multi-storied cropping system
Coconut
Erode, TamilNadu, India
In my land in Erode, South India, we are planning to plant coconut trees in double hedge pattern. Soil is mostly sandy, clayey, lateritic deep loam with slightly higher water table.
Each coconut hedge row will be planted in north-south orientation with 6m between each coconut tree in same hedge row and 6m between each of the 2 hedge rows.
If I want to plant citrus (acid lime) in the center between two coconut double hedges, then what should be the minimum spacing between the coconut double hedges? Please see attached image for the layout & question.
I am also planning to grow forage crops like (cowpea, guinea grass, lablab) between citrus row and the coconut double hedge, but this is optional.
Please note that both coconut & citrus will be planted at the same time (ie., coconut stand will be less than one year old when citrus will be planted)
