Suggest op: Planter, tree, mechanical transplanter; Pruning; Harvest, plantains. Target Yield calibration: NO crop_devnotes Cloned from Banana Population based on 2.5 x 2.0 meter spacing Maximum crop height increase to 4.0 meters Target yield of 6 tons/ac taken from: Obiefuna, J.C. et.al, 1982. Spacing and sucker managment in the commercial plantain production in the rainforest belt of Nigeria. Ann. of Appl. Biology, 101, 391-396 Note, plaintain yield is about 30% of banana yield according to: Crop Profile for Plantain and Banana in Puerto Rico, 2005 found at: http://iipmdata.ipmcenters.org/documents/cropprofiles/PRplaintainbanana.pdf Example rotation has 1 year 7 month initial growth (set days to maturiy to 585 days) then 1 year ratoon. Had to use residue yield ratio 0.7 to get reasonable yield in second period.
