What is It

What is Plant Propagation?

Plant propagation is the process of reproducing or creating a new plant or seedling. It is an

important part of gardening, whether outdoors or indoors. Plants are living things that grow either
through their roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. It is a method of growing new plants from seed or
from parts of existing plants. Propagating trees can be sexual or asexual. Sexual propagation is
growing trees through their seeds while asexual propagation can be done through its parts.
Marcotting, grafting, air layering, budding, cutting are some examples of asexual propagation.

How important is planting and propagating trees and fruit- bearing trees?

Planting and growing ornamental plants and vegetables have many benefits and contributions
for the family and the community. Likewise, growing of trees and fruit trees is also important. Trees
give us shade against sunlight and their roots help in controlling the flow of rain and prevent flooding
by absorbing rainwater. Moreover, the woods that came from the trees are used for shelter,
transportation, and other decorative purposes. Though most Filipinos know that planting trees is a
good hobby and leisure time activity, planting trees and fruit – bearing trees are valuable to the family
and the community for the many products it can give. As one of the major sources of food such as
fruits and nuts, wood from trees is also a major source of fuel for heating and cooking. Likewise,
construction materials like plywood and ply board, fiber for the production of paper and pulp, and
chemicals like resin and turpentine.

Why is there a need for plant propagation?

Every year we suffer from calamities such as typhoons, floods and soil erosions. Flash floods
have killed so many people these past years and one of the major causes of floods is deforestation or
the clearing of an area of forest without replanting. Therefore, conserving of trees, whether fruit trees,
ornamental trees, shady trees or trees used for other purposes is important. We need to plant more
trees not only to prevent further damage to nature but to make our Mother Earth a better place to live
in.

What is It

Benefits from Planting Trees and Fruit- Bearing Trees to the Family

The knowledge and skill in planting trees and fruit- bearing trees is beneficial to the family
because it provides them food which is known as subsistence farming and it also gives additional
income which is known as cash cropping. A family who planted trees in their backyard or with
orchard farm in their community can really save up money because they will no longer buy the food
which is readily available in their yard. Surely the food they eat is fresh, nutritious, and of high quality
because they are the ones planting it. An environment with various trees and fruit- bearing trees
reduces stress and improves emotional well-being. Planting is a way of spending your leisure time in
a healthier way and contributes to a pleasant environment. Most Filipino families ventured
themselves in planting trees and fruit- bearing trees.This adds to the food supply of our country. If
there are more productions of trees and fruitbearing trees many will benefit from it. Aside from it is
cheaper; we can also supply other areas of the country.

Sources of Trees and Fruit- bearing Trees

Department of Agriculture - responsible for the promotion of agricultural and fisheries

development and growth.
Bureau of Plant Industry - an agency of the Philippine government under the Department
of Agriculture responsible for serving and supporting the Philippine plant industry sector.
Commercial Nursery - own by private individuals usually offering fruit trees, ornamentals, and
landscaping services.

Ways to Care for Seedlings

1. Thin Seedlings as needed

Plants in your garden do not like to be crowded. They need all the sun and nutrients that they
can get.
2. Give them plenty of light
As soon as the newborn seedling begins to emerge, it seeks light. Your newborn needs as
much and as direct a light source as possible.
3. Keep the seedlings moist
Provide water to your seedling every couple of days. Do not soak the soil each night. Overly
wet soil encourages the development of damping off disease.
4. Feed the seedlings
The seedling does not need a lot of extra nutrients in its first few days of life. Your soil starting
mixes usually come with a balanced formula of nutrients that the seedlings need.
5. Guard against Leggy Plants
Seedlings are leggy when their main stem or stalk grows tall and thin and can hardly support
the leaf structure. It is caused by insufficient sunlight and a sheltered environment.
6. Protect Against Damping Off Disease
Those of us who have grown seedling indoors for any number of years know what "Damping
Off" disease.

What’s In

Look at the pictures below. What benefits of planting and propagating trees and fruit- bearing trees to
families shown in each picture?

What is It

Trees are valuable because of the products and amenities they give such as:
1. food like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sugar
2. wood used as fuel for cooking and heating
3. construction materials which include lumber, plywood, and board
4. fiber for the production of pulp and paper; and
5. chemical products such as resin, rubber, and turpentine.

There are other benefits derived from trees to maintain a healthy community. Some of these benefits
include:

1. They provide shade and fresh air around the house and, along the streets and surroundings.
 Trees are very much needed by people in these times of climate change when the
temperature is high and the heat of the sun becomes intense. Without trees, there are no
shades to keep us cool. 2. They protect the soil from erosion.
Have you seen big roots that extend several meters from the trunk or go deeper into the soil?
These roots hold the soil, preventing it from eroding when rain or floods come.
3. They help maintain high quality water supply.
The roots of plants and trees help strain the dirt and cleanse the water as it passes through the
roots.
4. The root system promotes soil stability.
This means that, the soil held by the roots remain there and does not erode.
5. They serve as valuable wildlife habitats.
Wild animals live in places with many trees like that of a forest.
6. They serve as windbreakers during typhoons and storms, thus, reducing the destruction
of home and agricultural crops.
A typhoon that is strong usually moves at a very fast speed. It continues to be that strong if
there are no barriers on the path where it moves. But when it passes barriers like mountains and
trees, it slows down and its speed is reduced. Small crops and plants as well as houses are safe
when typhoon is weak. 7. They help reduce pollutions in congested urban areas.
Remember that trees take in carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles that belches smoke. The
more trees present, the less amount of carbon dioxide is in the air 8. They contribute to the
beautiful landscapes in the city and the countryside.
Imagine a land with plenty of trees and grass and a scattering of flowers of beautiful colors, sizes,
and shapes.
9. They improve the atmosphere of a place by giving a feeling of freshness and coolness as
they reduce temperature.
10. They prevent river and lake sedimentation.
Have you observed a river bank that is lined endlessly with full-grown trees?
These trees help hold the water in the lake and river and keep it there. This prevents the lake and
river from drying up.
11. They prevent floods.
Floods occur when water from rain rushes in causing soil erosion. However, if there are trees to
serve as barriers and the roots to hold the water, flood will not occur. Trees are beneficial not only
to the family but to the community as well. We should help in preserving them by planting more
trees. Stop deforestation or cutting trees. Instead, do reforestation. You are not only saving
yourself but saving your family, community, and also the world.

What’s More

Some of the products that are made from trees are the following:

1. Lumber- processed wood to construct houses for man

and animals, cabinets, fixtures and others.

2. Wine cork- a stopper use to seal wine bottles.

3. Paper- product made from fiber harvested from wood

pulp of trees.

4. Rubber - derived from sap of some trees. 5. Sugar-

extracted from wood pulp of sugar plant.

6. Turpentine- the product produced from juice of some trees.

7. Sponges-a soft and squishy product made from

renewable plant-based materials such as cotton fiber and wood
pulp
8. Chocolate- comes from cacao tree.

9. Car wax- obtained by drying and beating

the leaves of a palm tree to remove the wax.

10. Hair dye- the leaves from the henna tree have been used to
create hair dye.

What’s New

Take a look on this picture. Do you know who is in the picture? Well, you will find it out. Read the
selection below.
“From Arms to Farms”
Ulysses Delos Reyes Mutia Sr., a retired Company First
Sergeant who owned the 9.7 hectares of land located at La Libertad,
Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte. Sir Benjie, what others preferred to call him,
has really the passion in farming. Even when he was still in service of the
AFP, he ventured himself in land cultivating. The 9.7-hectare land was
bought in staggered. At first, he acquired the 2.7 hectares which he
bought for only 20,000.00 last 1994 and was filled with mango trees.
“These fruit trees helped a lot especially in supporting the education of our
children. I have six boys; five of them were already professionals. My
youngest just graduated Grade 12 this year and he will also take up Civil
Engineering this opening. My wife is a Medical Technologist at Bontilao
Community Hospital. She is always there to support me throughout my
endeavor”, Sir Benjie said. “We earned much from our mango farm. Our
first harvest was on 2014 where we earned 570,000.00. Second was
200,000.00 and third harvest was 195,000.00 this year 2020. The income
decreases this year due to COVID-19 pandemic which made the prices
lower. But, at least that was also a big amount”, he added. Later, they also
acquired their
neighboring farm in La Libertad. They bought the other 7 hectares which was planted with coconut
trees and some vegetables. His orchard farm was also placed with other fruit trees like jackfruit,
banana, guyabano, buko pandan, cacao, and even pineapples. He put pineapples at the edges of his
farm to prevent the soil from being eroded since it is sloppy. In his farm he had incorporated coconut
trees of unique variety and cacao which is different from what we had seen where we need to stand
on tiptoes just to reach the fruits but these varieties he had grown was different. Its fruits were picked
from the ground. It is somewhat like runners. When he retired on 2012, about 32 years in service, he
devoted his time on his farm. He is now focused on his farm in La Libertad. He also engages himself
in attending trainings to improve his knowledge and skill in farming. He had gone to some places
together with the Department of Agriculture Kapatagan personnel and farmers. These training
programs were GAP or Good Agricultural Practices, Sustainable Corn Production in Sloping Area,
Forest and Pasture, and Coffee Production. He also joined the Convention in General Santos City.
Such trainings widen his horizon in having an orchard farm. It enhances his techniques and
strategies in farming that made him awarded in the Municipality of Kapatagan as the Outstanding
Farmer in 2019. One thing he emphasized is to do Organic farming. That’s what he stresses much
during our conversation. “Organic Farming is a good way of farming. Aside from it is safe for us to
eat the plants we have planted; we have also preserved our environment and our nature as well”, he
said. When we end up, he gave some words of inspiration. “We should encourage our farmers
because there is pride in tilling the land. We, farmers, are the food producer of our country. We
sometimes encounter failures and faced difficult situations due to climate change but what’s
important is we should not lose our hope. We should ever ready to stand again.The best ways to
succeed are to persevere, to work hard, to learn new techniques and strategies, and never stop
learning” he ended.

What is It

If you get to know the success stories of our country’s top orchard growers, you would never imagine
how they got to where they are now. Their hard work, determination, and will to succeed is truly
worth emulating. Below are some of the successful orchard growers:

1. Editha Aguinaldo Dacuycuy - Manang Editha ventured into the dragon fruit business when
she was told how the fruit can help relieve constipation problems – a condition common to cerebral
palsy patients. Her daughter, Kate, was suffering from this ailment. Selling at Php 450.00 per kilo,
dragon fruit was too expensive for Editha, so she decided to raise her own fruits in their backyard.
From a small plot, they now own a 10-hectare property. Dubbed as “Dragon Lady”, Manang
Editha, together with her husband and daughter, Mimie Mildred, also expanded their business into
dragon
fruit ice cream, vegan dragon fruit lumpia, wine, vinegar, and even empanadita, dumplings, and
burger patties. Located in Barangay Paayas, Burgos, IlocosNorte, REFMAD Farms (Rare Eagle
Forest Marine and agricultural Development) is now an agritourism showcase offering research and
livelihood training to fellow Ilocanos and interested farmers). No less than President NOYNOY

Pagsusuri Nang Mabuti Sa mga Bagay Na May Kinalaman Sa Sarili at Pangyayari

Ang tao bilang nilikha ng Panginoon ay binigyan ng malayang kaisipan na makapagdesisyon para sa kaniyang
sarili. Subalit ang bawat desisyon ay may kaukulang resulta na maaaring magbunga ng hindi maganda para sa
sarili at maaaring gayun din sa iba. Kaya naman mahalaga ang magkaroon ng mapanuring pag-iisip bago bumuo ng pasya
o gumawa ng isang desisyon. Ang mapanuring pag-iisip ay nangangahulugan ng pagkakaroon ng kaalaman sa sarili at sa
pangyayari; pagsusuri ng mga maaaring gawin at pagtitimbang ng posibleng maging resulta nito. Ang paghingi ng gabay
sa Panginoon sa panahong kailangang magpasya ay makabubuti upang makapagdesisyon nang tama hindi lamang
para sa sarili kundi para sa nakararami.

Ang Teorya ng Pangangailangan

Ayon kay Abraham Maslow at Mc Clelland
Si Abraham Maslow ay isang amerikanong psychologist
na nagpanukala sa Hirarkiya o pagkakasunod-sunod ng mga
pangangailangan. Ayon sa Teorya ng Pangangailangan ni Maslow,
sinasabing may mga pangunahing pangangailangan (primary
needs) na mahalaga sa pananatili ng buhay ng tao. Ito ay ang
pagkain, damit, bahay. Mayroon din pangalawang
pangangailangan
(secondary needs) na maaaring tugunan o hindi tugunan sapagkat hindi nakasalalay ang buhay ng tao dito. Ito ay mga
kagustuhan lamang at maaaring tinatawag na luho sa buhay (luxuries). Ang Physiological Needs o ang mga bayolohikal
na pangangailangan ay ang pagkain, tubig, hangin at tulog. May tinatawag din tayong Safety Needs. Ito ay nauukol sa mga
pangangailangan para sa kaligtasan at katiyakan sa buhay. Kabilang dito ang katiyakan sa hanapbuhay, pinagkukunang
yaman, kaligtasan mula sa karahasan, katiyakang moral at physiological, seguridad sa pamilya, at seguridad sa
kalusugan. Ang Love o Belonging ay isang pangangailangan kung saan nabibilang ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa general
emotions, tulad ng pakikipagkaibigan, at pagkakaroon ng pamilya. Self-esteem naman ang nauukol sa pagkakamit ng
respeto sa sarili at respeto ng ibang tao. Ang pinakamataas na hirarkiya ay ang Self-Actualization. Dito ang tao ay may
kamalayan hindi lamang sa kaniyang sariling potensyal ngunit higit sa lahat sa kabuuang potensyal ng tao. Batay sa
Teorya, nagagawa lamang matugunan ng tao ang mataas na antas ng kaniyang pangangailangan kung napunan na ang
mas mababa.
Ayon naman sa Teorya ng Pangangailangan ni Mc Clelland, ang pangangailangan ng tao ay
natatamo sa matagal na panahon at hinuhubog ng karanasan. Sa Teoryang ito, ang Nagawa (Achievement) ay higit na
mahalaga kaysa sa mga gantimpalang materyal at salapi. Ang makamit ang layunin ay nagbibigay ng personal na
kasiyahang higit sa makatanggap ng papuri at pagkilala. Ang gantimpalang salapi ay itinuturing na panukat ng
natamong tagumpay. Mahalaga ang feedback upang masubaybayan ang pag-unlad na nakamit. Kadalasan ay humihingi
ng pagbabago ang pag-unlad na nakamit at paraan kung paano higit na mapapaunlad ang mga nagawa. Higit na
binibigyang halaga ang trabaho at responsibilidad na nakatutugon sa pangangailangan. Ang mga pangangailangang
nasambit ay nagdudulot ng kabutihan sa sarili. Hinuhubog nito ang pagkatao mo at ang mga bagay na nasasakupan ng
iyong pagkatao. Dahil dito higit na nagkakaroon ka ng kakayahan na gumawa ng mga pagdedesisyon ukol sa mga bagay-
bagay.
Ngunit sa panahon ngayon iba na ang kabataan. Maraming klase ng bisyo ang mas pinagtutuunan ng pansin.
Andiyan ang sigarilyo, alak, droga at sugal na tila hindi madaling maiwasan ng mga kabataan. Ano nga ba ang maibibigay
ng mga ito sa iyong sarili? Matutulungan ba nito ang iyong sarili sa paghahanda para sa iyong kinabukasan, sa pagtupad
ng iyong pangarap, sa iyong mga responsibilidad sa buhay na iyong nais tahakin?

Ang isa pang paraan na makatutulong sa paghubog ng pagkatao ng isang tao ay ang kaniyang pananampalataya.
Ang pagkakaroon ng pananampalataya ay pagpapakita ng pagmamahal sa Panginoon. Ang pagmamahal na ito ang siyang
nag-uudyok sa isang tao na piliin ang tamang gawain sa lahat ng oras, lugar at pagkakataon. Kaya naman siya
ay may pagpapahalaga sa sarili at pagmamalasakit sa iba. Hindi niya nais na makasakit ng kapuwa at ng sino man sa
komunidad na kinabibilangan niya. Ang pananampalataya sa Panginoon ang siyang gabay niya sa pagkakataong
kinakailangan niyang magpasya o gumawa ng desisyon.

Ang pagkakaroon ng katatagan ng loob o determinasyon ay isa pang katangian na dapat mong taglayin. Ito ay
magsisilbi ding gabay mo sa pagkamit ng iyong tagumpay sapagkat nangangahulugan ito na kaya mong bumangon at
magsikap muli kahit makailang ulit ka pang madapa.
Sa lahat ng ito ang higit na kailangan ay mapanatili mo ang pagkakaroon ng mapanuring kaisipan sa araw-araw na
pagharap sa hamon o pakikibaka sa buhay. Dapat kang maging sensitibo sa mga pangyayaring nagaganap, kaakibat ang
ganap na pagkilala mo sa iyong sarili. Malaki ang kaugnayan at napakahalaga ng pagkakaroon ng mapanuring pag-
iisip upang sa ano mang gagawing desisyon o pasya ay maisasaalang-alang ang sarili at ang kabutihan ng nakararami.
