      abstract = {A garden of Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa was plantes  19 Aprill 994. The purpose of the planting was to compare  two types of trellis systems: cross or "T" and back or  fence. The cross shaped trellises were made up of metal  pipes 1.5 m. high from the ground to top crossed by .9 m.  pipes at a hèight of 1.2 m. Three wires ran parallel to  each other from cross to cross, separated .3 m. from one  another. The back trellis system used the same metal pipes  1.5 m high, without the cross. Two wires ran from pipe to  pipe, one .9 m. and the other 1.2 m. from the ground. This  type of trellis system is less expensive. The experiment of  two treatments (the trellis systems) and three  replications. Each treatment carried 45 plants, that is, 15  plants per replication per treatment. The vines were  planted 3.7 m. within the row, and 3.7 m. between rows,  using five plants per row. Results were analysed by LSD  tests. Cross shaped trellises do promote a significantly  higher production (290 kgs vs 226 kgs). The reason why so  many local growers use the fence trellis system may have  more to do with reducing expenses.},
