Hello,

I want to plant Black berry in my 3 acres of land. Can anyone provide me the details on how many plants are ideal to be planted in an acre and which variety to be planted for optimum yield and less time to get the yield. The 3 acres of land is a dry land with red soil and how long i need to protech the plants by periodically providing water.

Thanks for your response.
Regards

hello Sir
Black berry is a minor crop in India u can plan for some other crop
Optimal spacing between plants and rows varies, depending on plant type, training method, and size of farm equipment. Allow at least 10 to 12 feet between rows to facilitate tractor operations. Erect blackberries are spaced 2 to 4 feet in the row, and primocanes are allowed to fill in the spaces between plants. Both semi-erect and trailing types require 4 to 8 feet between plants to accommodate their very long canes. Table 1 lists number of plants required for various plant and row spacings.

Varieties are
Mountains
Arapaho, Chester, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Kiowa?, Navaho, Shawnee, and Triple Crown

Piedmont
Arapaho, Cheyenne, Choctaw, Kiowa?, Navaho, Shawnee, and Triple Crown

Coastal plain
Arapaho, Chester, Cheyenne, Choctaw, Hull, Kiowa?, Lochness, Navaho, Shawnee, and Triple Crown
