3-Row Advanced Production System for 58 ft beds

We just finished planting an Advanced Production System block in an existing grove that originally had 58-ft double beds. We designed and installed microjet manifolds that tied into the original two submain connections and provided 3 connections for poly lines to convert each bed to 3 tree rows. Richard's Arapaho tree planting crew helped lay out each bed to accommodate differences in shape, mostly about 18' between the tree rows on the tops with wider spacing across the relatively deep water furrows, then planted the trees at 8' in the row. That's roughly equal to 281 trees/acre. It looks really good, and saved a lot of money over re-doing the beds and irrigation system! The basic premise of Advanced Production is to increase the tree count to minimize production losses as trees are removed for HLB management.
