The very basics of how the game calculates base plantation efficiency off of the size of the plantation's variable footprint and the underlying fertility.

This is emphatically not a guide to min-maxing plantation efficiency based upon multi-culture bonuses to the extent that you can effectively grow anything anywhere with perfect efficiency. Gaming the system to that extent isn't really where I find fun in games, and other channels have already explored this in depth.

My Plantation Efficiency Primer is more to give you a sense of what you lose directly off the top when you choose to zone your plantations below the 6x9 maximum. And with that said, I present a use case for why you might do it, regardless, purely for aesthetic purposes or to keep things orderly.
