The Plant Spacing Calculator tool is designed to assist you in the design phase of your saltland remediation. Choose between an Alley System or a Block planting to calculate how many stems or seedlings per hectare are required for your site.

Allow a minimum 2m between seedlings, and rows.

Alley width is dependent on farmer preferences, future land use aspirations, and machine width.
