Crop Layout & Planting Methods

David Wildung and, Pat Johnson (2012)

Summary

The layout and planting methods used in high tunnels are more critical than in the field because the smaller area of the high tunnel is so much more intensely managed. The plants are spaced more closely and maintained more highly than in the field. The expectations for higher productivity are greater. Adapting layout and planting methods to accommodate these differences is important to success.
