Abstract

In citrus, tree spacing widely affects the yield and quality of the fruit. Due to the diminishing resources and ever increasing cost of agricultural inputs, it is the need of time to use the resources effectively and efficiently. The available land for agriculture and groves decreasing due the many reasons. Keeping in view the scarcity of land and other resources, agricultural scientists have designed various ways to enhance the farm yield by the effective use of available resources. In orchards, tree spacing is used as a tool to increase farm yield and ultimately the farm income. In this manuscript the work done by various scientists related to citrus tree spacing and plant canopy management is summarized, pros and cons of this technique and the scope of high density plantation in Pakistan is discussed in detail.
