What spacing and how many plants per acre for pomegranate (anar) in Solapur?

A common pomegranate spacing is about 12 ft x 12 ft, which gives roughly 300 plants per acre, and is widely used for Bhagwa in the Solapur belt with drip irrigation. Some growers use higher density layouts such as paired rows or closer plant-to-plant spacing to raise plant population and early yields, but closer planting demands strict pruning and canopy management to control disease, especially bacterial blight. Bhagwa is the dominant commercial variety because of its attractive red arils and good export demand. Choose spacing based on your soil, irrigation, and willingness to manage a denser canopy. Confirm recommended spacing and the high density layout with your district horticulture office and the ICAR National Research Centre on Pomegranate, Solapur.
