What each input means

Row Spacing
Distance between rows in feet. Narrow rows (5-6 ft) suit vertical shoot positioning; wider rows (8-12 ft) accommodate tractor access.
Vine Spacing
Distance between vines within a row in feet. Closer spacing (3-4 ft) increases competition and can improve quality in premium vineyards.
Vineyard Acres
Total plantable vineyard area in acres, excluding roads, headlands, and non-productive areas.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Row Spacing = 8, Vine Spacing = 5, Vineyard Acres = 5 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Vines per Acre
    Vines per Acre = floor(sqFtPerAcre / (rs * safeVineSpacing))
    1089 = 1089
  3. Calculate Total Vines
    Total Vines
    5445 = 5445
  4. Calculate Area per Vine
    Area per Vine
    40 = 40
  5. Calculate Rows per Acre
    Rows per Acre
    26 = 26
