Orchard_planting_system

This script calculates starting from input reference points and desired planting distances as rows and tree's distances, the position of each tree in the orchard. At the end of the process a csv database of trees latitude and longitude locations in WGS84 Datum (epsg 4326) is produced.

Before using the code ensure your Python environment being adapt with:

pip install pandas

pip install pyproj

Points reference and related lines

• AB line is intended as the line to which tree rows are parallel;
• ROWs ALIGNMENT LINE is intended as the line from which all the tree rows start;
• MAX LON line is the line of maximum longitude, thus any tree after that line will not be added in the orchard database (orch_db);
• MAX LAT line is the line of maximum latitufr, thus any tree above that line will not be added in the orch_db.
