Spanish term or phrase: sistema tres bolillos

La oración dice:

"Realizar el plantío de los plantones con espaciamiento de 2,0 m dentro de la línea de plantío y 2,5 m entre líneas, aplicando el sistema tres bolillos."

Conseguí el término "Herringbone System", pero quiero estar segura que es el término correcto.

¡Gracias por su ayuda!
