|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10m x 10m | 100 | 10.00 | ONLINE-TABE | 8lph/4lph | 4 to 8** |
| 9m x m | 123 | 9.00 | ONLINE-TABE | 8lph/4lph | 4 to 8** |
| 8m x 10m | 156 | 8.00 | ONLINE-TABE | 8lph/4lph | 4 to 8** |
| 7m x 7m | 204 | 7.00 | ONLINE-TABE | 8lph/4lph | 4 to 8** |

| 5m x 5m | 400 | 5.00 | ONLINE-TABE | 8lph/4lph | 4 to 8** |
| **Additional emitters- Upto 8 emitters /plant can be provided to cover adequate root area based on the canopy in old mango orchards. Double Line laterals may be provided in case of older orchards to provide for additional water required due to higher foliar cover. | |||||
