Course Category: Plant Trait
Advantages of Trellising
1. It takes less space and plant population per hectare can be increased.
2. In rainy season, it keeps the plants off the ground
3. It is beneficial for fruit color and avoids rotting when in contact with wet soil.

Advantages of Trellising
Trellising structures can be simple vertical bamboo sticks, iron or wooden poles with netting or ropes.
In gourds it is mostly vertical and horizontal trellis since the plant size is quite large.
Crop Support
Whatever material is being used, erect and secure the trellis system well, once fruits start to appear there will be a lot of weight on them and should not collapse. Also they should be able to withstand strong winds.
