QUARTER 1 WEEK 2 DAY 1  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 1. Proper care of the plants and soil Trees and fruit-bearing trees need a wider space for planting to grow and be productive than ornamental plants and vegetables because the roots of the trees expand sideward and move downward.  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 2. Methods of Planting There are two methods in planting trees. Direct-seeding is a method of planting seeds directly into the ground or plot. Indirect or Transplanting Method is planting seeds in a seed box or plastic container, fully grown seedlings are transplanted to the ground or plot.  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 2. Methods of Planting  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 3. The Seed Germination Seed germination is the development or growth of a seed into a young plant that influence harvest and the quality of tree products.  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 3. The Seed Germination This process needs water or moisture, warmth or temperature, oxygen, and sunlight for seeds to grow in either a seed box, plastic container or other wrappers.  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 4. Preparation of seedlings before transplanting Transplanting is the process where seedling is transferred from the seed box or other containers to the ground or plot for growth, development, and production.  ELEMENTS TO OBSERVE IN PLANTING 4.

The leading species grown in the country are Mango, Calamansi, Durian, Jackfruit, and Lanzones, based on volume of production which are available all year round in the market.  Harvesting, Storing and Marketing Fruits Harvesting fruits are usually done through picking when it is mature enough and ready to be sold to the market fresh and in good condition. Mangoes are harvested before it ripens; Pomelos and Chicos should be harvested at the right size and mature enough while Dalandan are harvested when they are still green.  Harvesting, Storing and Marketing Fruits When there is plenty of fruits available, the price is low while harvest quantity is limited, the price is high. Correct storing of fruits must be observed to maintain its good condition. There are perishable fruits like Avocado, Chico, Mango etc.  TYPES OF ORCHARD FARM 1. FRUIT ORCHARD A farm where trees are planted for the purpose of fruit production Examples: Lanzones, Mango, Santol Marang, Avocado, Chico, Mangosteen, Rambutan, Guyabano, Jackfruit, Durian  TYPES OF ORCHARD FARM 2. NUT ORCHARD Planted in this farm are nut trees for massive production of nuts Examples: Trees planted are: Coconut, Pili Nuts, Cashew Nuts  TYPES OF ORCHARD FARM 3. SEED ORCHARD An intensively- managed or maintained plantation of trees to produce genetically improved seeds resulting in mass production  TYPES OF ORCHARD FARM 3. SEED ORCHARD Most popular seeds that are produced are coffee and cacao. Also, Woody plants that are needed to produce lumber & other wood by-products  OTHER TYPES OF ORCHARD 1. Christmas Tree Farm It is a type of orchard where an occupation involves growing pine trees specifically for use as Christmas trees. This farm can be located at Baguio and Tagaytay.  OTHER TYPES OF ORCHARD 2. Coffee Producing Farm Area where coffee producing plants were planted for marketable production. Batangas is well known in their coffee production.  PROPER WAY OF PLANTING OR PROPAGATING TREES AND FRUIT-BEARING TREES FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN PLANTING TREES  Planting or Propagating Trees Planting trees need the skill on how to increase the number of species and spreading or maintaining such species for them to multiply. This process is called plant propagation.  Planting or Propagating Trees It is both an art and science: requiring knowledge, skill, and experience for success. Sexual and asexual plant propagation are the two general methods of multiplying plant species.  Planting or Propagating Trees Sexual plant propagation has two types, the direct and indirect planting while asexual plant propagation has the following type: cutting, marcotting, budding, and grafting.  SEXUAL PLANT PROPAGATION Sexual Plant Propagation is a way of multiplying plant species by seeds through pollination and fertilization of the parents’ genetic materials. This involves the floral parts of the plant to create an offspring different from each parent plant. METHODS OF SEXUAL PLANT PROPAGATION a. Direct Planting is a method of planting where the seeds or parts of a plant are directly planted in the soil where it will germinate and grow. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees a. Cutting Cutting propagation is growing a plant from a stem or root that has been cut from another plant. This the simplest way of multiplying plant species that are used in ornamental landscaping. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees a. Cutting Example of fruit-tree that can be planted by cutting is Siniguelas. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees b. Marcotting-An asexual method of propagating plants by rooting a part of the stem while still attached to the parent plant is called marcotting. Example: Rambutan, Lanzones, and Santol. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees c. Grafting Grafting is the process of getting the bud or scion of one plant to be placed into or on a stem, a root, or a branch of another plant (rootstock) to form a union of two partner plants that will continue to grow. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees c. Grafting The part where the roots are found is the stock while the added portion is the scion. Example: Mango, Guava, Santol, Chico, Rambutan, Makopa, Durian and Lanzones. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees d. Budding Budding is the union of one bud and a small piece of bark from the scion with a rootstock. A method which a patch of bark with a bud is inserted into a similar dispatched root stock. Types of Asexual Plant Propagation of Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees d. Budding Example: citrus family like Pomelo,Calamansi, and Dalandan.
