Q78: Calculate the number of plants required for 10 hectares plantation... - Silviculture - Forestry- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024 | Agrigyan

• Plant Population Calculation in Silviculture:

$$\text{Plant Population} = \frac{\text{Total Plantation Area}}{\text{Spacing per Plant}}$$

• Parameters:
• Area = $10\text{ hectares} = 100,000\text{ m}^2$
• Rectangular planting geometry: $2.5\text{ m} \times 1.25\text{ m} = 3.125\text{ m}^2\text{ per plant}$

$$\text{Total Seedlings} = \frac{100,000\text{ m}^2}{3.125\text{ m}^2} = 32,000\text{ plants}$$

• Conclusion: A total of 32,000 plants are required for the 10-hectare plantation. (Correct answer: Option 3)
