WEEK Importance of Planting and Propagating Trees and
Fruit-bearing Trees and Marketing of Seedlings
1 Lesson
I
Trees are one of the important sources of life on earth. If the trees
did not exist, we wouldn’t have such a beautiful environment to live in.
Their importance cannot be taken for granted. In humans, plants are the
major source of food as in the case of many fruit-bearing trees. They also
provide a better and healthier environment by giving off oxygen.
In this lesson, you will know the importance of planting and
propagating trees and fruit-bearing trees and how to market their
seedlings.
Look at the picture below. Imagine the things you need to prepare,
as well as the steps you have to take in planting the seedlings. What do you
have to prepare first? What are the steps you have to take?

Importance of planting trees and fruit-bearing trees to the family and


community

Trees are valuable to the family and the community for 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.

Other Benefits Derived from Trees. There are benefits derived from trees to
maintain a healthy environment. Some of these are:
1. They provide shade, fresh air to breath in the house and along the
streets and surroundings.
2. They protect the soil from erosion.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6 6


3. They help maintain high quality water supply.
4. The root system promotes soil stability.
5. They serve as valuable wildlife habitats.
6. They serve as windbreakers during typhoons and storms, thus, reducing
the destruction of home and agricultural crops.
7. They help reduce pollutions in congested urban areas.
8. They contribute to the beautiful landscapes in the city and the
countryside.
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.
11. They prevent flood.
A seedling is a very young tree, perhaps 1 or 2 years old, that has
been grown from seed or other plant parts in a nursery until such time it
is ready to planted/transplanted in the field.
Nowadays, many people realized the value of planting home-grown
vegetables and even fruits especially if they have enough space in their
backyard. Some of them even decide to turn their hobby of planting
vegetables and fruit-bearing trees into a source of additional income.

Strategies on marketing seedlings


1. Plan a marketing strategy-a plan of action designed to promote and sell
a product or service.
2. Read as many articles/ information as you can or research on how to
grow seedlings and care for them.
3. Know what kind of seedlings are in demand in the market.
4. Choose seedling varieties to grow and sell.
5. Choose the right container for your seedlings.
6. Label the seedlings.
7. Decide on how you will advertise these seedlings
8. Be able to determine the market price for your seedlings considering
your expenses in growing them.
9. Choose an appropriate marketing strategy (ex. Home garden display,
market selling or online selling)

WEEK
Orchard Gardening
2 Lesson
I
In this lesson, you will learn the use of technology in the conduct of
survey to find out the following:
• Elements to be observed in planting trees.
• Market demands for fruits.
• Famous orchard farms in the country.
Growing fruit trees require lots of things, but your efforts will be
rewarded with a delicious crop of mangoes, jackfruits, bananas or
another tasty treat. To obtain good
harvests, you need to understand the
different environmental factors that
affect the growth of trees. The natural
habitat of a given tree is a combination of
environmental factors which includes
the physical and chemical properties of
the soil, air, light, rainfall, temperature,
gravity as well as other plants and
animals.
Elements to be observed in planting
trees
1. Proper care of plants and soil — Choose the best place for planting and
the best seeds that best suit the season and the soil. Put sufficient
fertilizers in the soil before planting. Take care of the soil and the plants
regularly.
2. Methods of planting - different trees are planted in different ways- Direct
planting- the seed or any propagating part of a plant is directly planted in
the soil where it will germinate and grow into full-grown trees. Indirect
planting- the newly germinated seedlings are allowed to grow in the
nursery until such time that they are ready to be transplanted in the field.
3. Preparing seeds for planting — different seeds have different preparation
before planting (ex. Placing the seeds under the sun, removed from their
hard shells before planting, dried before planting, soaked in water , etc.)
4. Preparation of seedlings before planting– A. Thinning- to produce strong
plants, pull out some crowded seedlings. B. Pricking- this is done when
transferring seedlings from one seed box to another to provide more space
for proper development. C. Hardening-the process of gradual exposure of
seedlings to sunlight which is done 7 to 15 days before transplanting.

Market Demands for Fruits


To ensure success in selling fruits, the farmer or seller should
consider the following market demands:
1. Buyer selects fruits and other products of good quality, usually based
on size, shape and appearance.
2. Good quality fruits have the same appearance, size, stage of maturity,
state of freshness and shape.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6 10


Market Demands for Fruits
To ensure success in selling fruits, the farmer or seller should
consider the following market demands:
1. Buyer selects fruits and other products of good quality, usually based
on size, shape and appearance.
2. Good quality fruits have the same appearance, size, stage of maturity,
state of freshness and shape.
3. Fruits should be in the freshest state when being sold. They can
command higher prices.
4. Pack fruits properly in good container to maintain their freshness and to
avoid cuts, bruises and blemishes.
5. Price your products based on the current price on the market. Going
with the current market price makes your product competitive.

Famous Orchard Farms in the Country


1. Rosa Farms – A sprawling 12.5-hectare farm located at Km. 156
National Highway, San Marcelino-San Antonio Boundary, Zambales.
The property was purchased by David Jacson and Rosa Magsaysay way
back in the 1920s. By 2011, the farm was renamed as Rosa Farms
under the management of Ding and Nelda Zulueta. Today, it is not just
an ordinary mango orchard but an agri-tourism destination, as well as
venue for team building, and corporate events, camping and family
outing, educational tours, rest and recreation.
2. Gapuz Grapes Farms – Cirilo Gapuz started the business in the 1980s
to provide for his family. Thirty years on, the farm has produced beyond
expectations. The family also helped neighboring famers and interested
locals in planting grapes. The farm is in Barangay Urayong,Bauang, La
Union.

Types of Orchard Farms and Sources
3 of Fruit-Bearing Trees
Lesson
I
In this lesson, you will know the types of orchard farms, trees
appropriate for orchard gardening based on location, climate and market
demands, proper way of planting/ propagating trees and fruit-bearing trees
(budding, marcotting, grafting), sources of fruit-bearing trees, how to care
for seedlings and prepares layout design of an orchard garden using the
information gathered.

Have you been to a market/ supermarket recently? Were you


amazed with the different fruits found in the fruit and vegetables section?
Have you ever wondered where are all those fruits coming from?
Most probably those fruits come from a local orchard in your
community. Orchards abound in the countryside where mangoes, bananas,
jackfruits, guavas, santol (cotton fruits), and many other tropical fruits
grow.

Types of Orchards

1. Fruit Orchards- Fruit orchards include any facility focused on growing


tree-bearing fruits. Citrus trees, such as those bearing lemons, limes or
oranges, may be grown all together in large citrus orchards, or
individually in smaller facilities. Plantations that grow fruit-bearing
bushes generally don't fall under this category. These include fruits not
grown on trees.

Example of Fruit Orchards- Banana Plantation, Mango Plantation,


Citrus (Calamansi) Plantation, Durian Plantation

2. Nut Orchards- Nut orchards include a large variety of facilities that


produce nut bearing trees. These include orchards that grow popular
nuts like cashews, walnuts and almonds. This category also includes
cocoa and chocolate-producing nuts, as well as coconuts. Some orchard
owners produce pine trees for their edible cashew nuts.

3. Seed Orchards -Seed orchards focus primarily on growing trees that


produce seeds rather than nuts or fruit. These seeds are then sold to
commercial distributors for resale to the public in small seed packets .

Proper way of Propagating Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees

1. Budding - The process by which a scion with a bud is inserted into the
rootstock to unite and grow as one. It is done by choosing and cutting a
bud from one plant and attaching it to another plant. The bud must fit well
to the mother plant. When the bud grows big enough it will become part of
the plant.
PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6 14
2. Grafting — In this method, a new plant is grown by inserting a scion
into the stock so that they will form a union and grow together. The scion
and the rootstock should come from the same specie or family.
3. Marcotting or Air Layering — Air layering is a propagation method for
woody plants that allows youto root branches while still attached to the
parent plant. It is useful for plants that are hard to propagate by cutting.
Trees suited for orchard gardening based on:
Sources of Fruit-bearing Trees
Fruit-bearing trees are available and sold in different stages of
growth and ready to be transplanted. Among their sources are:
1. Commercial Nursery – Run by private individuals usually offering
landscaping materials and services.

2. Agricultural Institution – A school that offers a course related to


agriculture and other plant studies.

3. Department of Agriculture – Responsible for any agricultural activities in


terms of vegetables and fruits.
5. Bureau of Plant Industry – They develop scientific improvement for each
plant species in a locality and adjacent places.

15 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6


Ways to Care for Seedlings
Always use fertile soil medium for planting. Water the seedlings
every morning and afternoon. Check for possible pest infestation and apply
immediate remedy. Arrange the seedlings in an organized manner. Make
sure to follow proper layout of guidelines for a convenient working area.
Considerations in Preparing an Orchard Lay out
1. Prepare the land-Till the soil adequately but do not over-cultivate to the
point of destroying earthworms and other beneficial fungi.
2. Create a planting system- Compute the number of trees to be planted.
Examples: square shape pattern, rectangular shape pattern, triangular
shape pattern, quincunx pattern.
3. Establish a greenhouse- This will serve as the nursery of the seedlings.
4. Check the soil according to type- The type of soil will help you decide
what trees to plant.
5. Ensure water source and drainage- The site must have an abundant
supply of water and good drainage to ensure availability of air in the
soil.
6. Sufficient sunlight- The site must be exposed to morning and afternoon
sunlight to help maintain the food making process of the plant
(photosynthesis)
7. Availability of fertilizer -Fertilizer is a substance added to soil to improve
the plant health condition.
8. Accessibility to market-The plan site should be near the market and
transportation must be available to bring products to the market.

Lesson
I
In this lesson, you will learn how to propagate trees and fruit-
bearing trees using scientific processes, identifies the appropriate tools and
equipment in plant propagation and their uses, demonstrates scientific way
of propagating fruit-bearing trees, and observes healthy and safety
measures in propagating fruit bearing trees.
Among the top exported fruits that are popular in the Philippines
like mango, banana, pineapple and papaya, which is your most favorite?
Least favorite? Do you know you can enjoy your very own fruit without
buying in the grocery by simply planting your favorite fruit tree right in
your backyard? The downside of using seeds and directly planting them is
that it may take very long time for the trees to start bearing fruit.
Fortunately, there are scientific processes that shorten the waiting time for
the trees to bear fruits.

Ways of Propagating Fruit-Bearing Trees


1. Sexual propagation- propagation using viable seeds or seeds containing
live embryo that will give rise to a new plant. These seeds have the capacity
to germinate and grow. This is the most common and easiest method of
propagating plants.
2. Asexual propagation- method of plant propagation that is done without
the help of the sexual organ of the plant. It is the production of the new
plants from leaves, stems and roots. It can be done manually, either
naturally or using scientific approach.
Methods of Asexual Propagation

Orchard Trees/Seedlings
Lesson
I
In this lesson, you will learn how to performs systematic and
scientific ways of caring orchard trees/ seedlings such as watering,
cultivating, preparing, and applying organic fertilizer, markets fruits and
seedlings and develops plan for expansion of planting trees and seedling
production.
Growing fruit trees is also important just like planting vegetables
because fruits contribute to the nutritional needs of everyone. Selling of
fruits can also be a source of income. That is why many people nowadays
engage in orchard gardening.
But do you know that orchard gardening is not as easy as backyard
gardening? There is a lot of work involved and many processes that must
be learned and strictly followed. But your experiences in backyard
gardening can be of help if you and your family are thinking of starting an
orchard gardening project especially if your family owns a big parcel of
land.

Systematic Ways of Caring for Orchards

1. Natural. This is nature’s way of providing water for plants through rain.
2. Manual. This is with the use of water pail and dipper or water sprinkle.
3.Artificial. Water supply is artificially produced from deep well, dumps
and river with the use of water motor pump.
a. Surface or furrow irrigation. Here, water is distributed to each row so it
is applicable only for row crops with uniform slope.
b. Sprinkler irrigation. This include the line, rotating, and micro sprinklers
in which artificial rain is generated through special devices that wet the
entire field.
c. Drip-or trickle irrigation. A special water source designated to discharge
water close to the plant, wetting only that area and leaving the rest dry.
d. Sub-irrigation- this type of irrigation is very expensive because the
water source is under the ground.

Proper ways of Cultivation

Cultivating the land is practiced to help promote the growth of roots


and improve aeration for fast absorption of nutrients by the soil.
1. Off -barring- cultivating the soil in rows.
2. Hilling-up- cultivating the soil towards the base of the plant.

When cultivation is undertaken properly, the growth of weeds can be


controlled. Soil texture will improve plant’s growth and destructive
microorganisms found in the soil will eventually die.

2. Hilling-up- cultivating the soil towards the base of the plant.
Preparing and Applying Organic Fertilizer
Fertilizer is any substance added to the soil that promotes the
healthy growth of the plants. Fertilizers are classified into two types:
1. Inorganic- artificial fertilizer made from chemicals (liquid, soluble,
gaseous and granular form). There are advantages in using inorganic
fertilizer such as odorless and handy, always available in the market and
fast production but there are also disadvantage in using this kind such as
hazardous to animals, made of chemicals, expensive and makes the soil
unfertile, unproductive and acidic.
2. Organic natural fertilizer are materials from decayed matter, animals
and other natural resources. These organic natural fertilizers are natural,
easy to produce, promote the growth of beneficial organism, adds more
nutrients to the soil and very high in production. There are also
disadvantages in using organic fertilizer such as foul odor and it takes time
to prepare. soil. Pulverized eggshell, oyster shell, bone meal, and any lime
will neutralize the acidity of the soil of the soil. It helps the development of
roots, flowers, shoots and fruits.

Marketing Your Products


Marketing is one of the most challenging activities in an orchard
gardening. It is a business activity of presenting products or services to
make them desirable. One of the first steps in this undertaking is to make
sure your products are marketable. To do this, you need to come up with
specific standards for inspecting and ensuring quality control.
23 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6
Marketing Strategies
Once your products have undergone quality control inspection and
are deemed marketable, you may start promoting them. Below are some
ways one can promote and market a product:
1. Conduct a survey to find the needs of the community. What fruits are in
demand?
2. Prepare and distribute pamphlets, flyers and brochures that contain
information about the location and the picture of products.
3. Use online marketing tools.
4. Post contact numbers for clients who want to order or inquire about the
product.
6. Keep a Record of Sales.

Plan for Future Expansion


Every business should have a future plan for expansion. A successful
orchard is important to the community and environment. Its benefits
stand as evidence that expansion is necessary.

Tips for Future Expansion


Community survey and symposium to find the needs of the locality.
Build relationship with stakeholders of the community, the local
government unit, schools and private sectors that run related business.
Real market status understands the demand-What is the fruit rate of
sales? Open for investment and franchising. Conduct survey of the
availability of experienced/skilled orchard technician.

Raising Four-legged Animals and Fish as
6-7 Means of Livelihood
Lesson
I
In this lesson, you will learn to conduct survey to find out the
persons in the community whose occupation is animal (four legged)/fish
raising, kinds of four-legged animals/fish being raised as means of
livelihood, possible hazards that animal raising can cause to the people
and community, ways to prevent hazards brought about by raising
animals, market demands for animal/fish and by products.

Raising animals for many Filipinos is not only a hobby but also as a
source of income for their families. For an elementary pupil just like you,
taking care of animals can help you develop positive values like sense of
responsibility, love, care, industry and hard work.

Conducting a Survey
After you have decided on the kind of farming ( four legged animal/
fish farms) you want to do, it is best to scout the area where you are
situated by conducting a survey.

It is best to know or do the following to start off.

1. Know your area – Are there other farms of the same kind in your area?
2. Know the local animal or fish industry – What other animals/fish are
raised in other farms?
3. Know the people in the community– Make sure that you have been
cleared to put up a farm or raise animals in your area.
4. Know your market– Know the local market and middle men.
5. Learn from others– Learn from other people’s previous experiences.

Persons in the community whose occupation is animal (four-legged) /


fish raising:

1. Animal Raisers- Those people in the community whose occupation is to


raise four-legged animals.
2. Fish Farmers- Those people in the community whose occupation is to
raise a fish.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6 26


Kinds of Four-legged animals/ fish being raised as a means of
livelihood
Raising Swine
1. Swine is one of those types of animals that can be sold live or as meat or
meat products. It is important to choose the right breed to raise and keep
your animals healthy and free from diseases.
2. Cattle - can be sold live, as meat, or as meat and dairy products. Cattle
farming requires a substantially larger area for the animals to roam around
or graze–a major consideration in cattle raising.
3. Goat - Goat’s meat and milk are comparable to cattle meat and milk. In
the Philippines, goat meat is relatively more expensive than chicken, pork
or beef.
4.Tilapia – Tilapia grows rapidly. It can reproduce all year round and
requires no special kind of feeds. Tilapia can be harvested after three to
four months of feeding.
5. Milkfish – also referred to as the national fish of the Philippines,
milkfish or bangus is very popular for its milky taste. Like tilapia, milkfish
requires no special kind of feed for its diet. Milkfish can be harvested after
seven to ten months of feeding.
6. Carp – Carp do not reproduce as quickly as tilapia so during harvest
time, a fish farmer is guaranteed of large-sized fish.
7. Catfish – Catfish are named for their prominent barbels which resemble
a cat’s whiskers. Catfish can be harvested between four to six months of
feeding.
Possible Hazards that Animal Raising can cause to the People and
Community
1. Infectious Diseases – Several infectious diseases that may be
transmitted to humans are ascariasis, animal influenza, scabies, ringworm,
salmonellosis, and other animal diseases.
2. Insect and Pest Infestation – If not controlled, flies and other insects
can multiply fast and spread out in the community. This will cause
disturbances, stress and diseases. Likewise, sick animals, if not properly
treated, can pose danger to the health of the people.
27 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6
3. Physical Injuries – Animals that are stressed uncomfortable and
unfamiliar with humans tend to be wild. They may end up kicking, biting,
rushing and trampling people including their handlers/owners.
4. Air Pollution – Chemical pesticides and animal waste that is not
properly disposed and left exposed in the backyard can produce a very
unpleasant smell causing air pollution that is harmful to people’s health.

Ways to Prevent Hazards brought about by Raising Animals


Farmers and Animal raisers are exposed to numerous hazards daily.
Serious injuries may be prevented by following appropriate preventive
measures.
1. Proper handling and disposal of animal waste.
2. Use gloves and other tools such as rake and shovel.
3. Avoid or refrain from inhaling animal fur.
4. Observe proper distancing from animals.
5. Proper handling of animals.
6. Isolate infected animals to prevent the spread of disease; use warning
signs to label pens containing infected animals.
7. Provide PPE for employees working with sick animals.
8. Test and quarantine new, incoming animals to the farm.
9. Use sharps containers to prevent accidental needle sticks.
10. Maintain orderliness and cleanliness in the workplace.
11. Remind employees to wash hands with soap after handling animals.
12. Provide soap and hand washing areas for employees.
13. Avoid unpasteurized milk that could be contaminated; do not allow
employees to consume unpasteurized milk.

Market Demands for Animal/Fish and By Products


The Philippines’ livestock and fishery production expanded rapidly
during the past decade because of increasing demand for quality and safe
food products. While outputs of carabeef, beef, chevon and fishery products
rose steadily.

Products - refers to the materials from the body of the four-legged animals/
fish that have not undergone any process like fat, meat, skin, organs,
bloods, milk, hair, bones and hooves.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6 28


By-Products - materials derived from a production process,
manufacturing process or chemical reaction like soap, canned goods,
crayons, omega fish oil, string instruments and many more Products-are
materials derived from a production process, manufacturing process or
chemical reaction like soap, can goods, crayons, omega fish oil, string
instruments and many more.

Benefits that can be derived from Animal/Fish Raising


1. Fish and animals’ meat serve as human food.
2. Animal fats is used for soap production, lubricating oil and drug
synthesis while fish fats have fatty acids like omega-3 fatty acids used
for making fish oil.
3. Animal and fish raising creates employment especially in rural areas.
4. Reduce the importation of fish and meat by local production.
5. Animal manure can be used as fertilizers by farmers or for methane
gas production and fertilizers from seafood products.
6. Provides high quality animal protein for human consumption.
7. Fish by products used as animal feed.
8. Biochemical and pharmaceutical products from animals and fish .

Successful Stories of Entrepreneurs in Animal/Fish Raising

8 Markets Animals/Fish Harvested Captured
Lesson
I
In this lesson, you will learn to manage marketing of animal/fish
raised, discusses indicators for harvesting/capturing, demonstrates skill in
harvesting/capturing animal/fish, prepares marketing strategy by asking
help from others or using the internet, markets animals/fish harvested/
captured, compute the income earned from marketed products
(Gross Sale- Expenses = Net Income) and prepares plans for expansion of
animal raising venture.
Have you been to the market? Which is more in demand, pork, beef,
chicken or fish? The market demands for meat and fish are increasing due
to increasing population. Many people nowadays engage in livestock
farming (raising of four legged animals) or fish farming because these
businesses were proven to be financially rewarding if done the right way.
The animal raising/fish farming industry can lead to different
entrepreneurial endeavors ranging from the sale of live animals and fish to
the production of by-products.

Manages Marketing of animal/fish raised

1. Direct Farm Sales. Sell the animals or by-products to the consumers


directly from your farm guarantees the biggest earnings because all
expenses of commission and extra handling is cut out.
2. Farmers Market/Livestock Auction Market. Look for events such as
livestock auction markets or similar events in your area where people
from nearby provinces come to buy livestock direct from raisers
themselves.
3. Farm to Market. Some farming families or entrepreneurs also have a
meat shop or fish stall in the nearby wet market to sell their own
products.
4. Restaurant. One possible livestock client can be the nearby restaurants
in your area.
5. Selling through the internet/ Online Marketing. The internet can
prove to be a big help to animal raisers in marketing animals and
animal products.
6. Selling through Middlemen– There are entrepreneurs and there are
people who work with entrepreneurs to make deals with other
entrepreneurs, resellers and dealers.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON AFA G6 34


To market pork, beef and by-products, it includes the following:
1. distributing in the supermarkets and groceries;
2. directly selling to stores or selling them in open markets;
3. wholesale basis;
4. ordering by delivery; and
5. selling online.

Marketing Fish

Fish is sold in the market whether wholesale or retail. It can be sold in


various forms such as fresh, frozen, live, choice cut, preserved like dried
fish or tuyo, tinapa, daing and bottled or canned fish. Fish can be sold by
kilo, piece or in small batches for retail selling. While in wholesale selling,
it is sold in large containers. The retailers usually buy wholesale in fish
ports like in Navotas City, where fishermen bring their catch in “banyeras”
or styro boxes. One way of buying is through “bulungan” whisper, a kind of
bidding process where a buyer whispers to the
middle-man the price he or she is willing to pay. Usually the highest bidder
gets the catch.
Indicators for harvesting/capturing fish
• St. Peter’s Fish (Tilapia) can be harvested after three to four months of
feeding.
• Milkfish (Bangus) can be harvested after seven to ten months of feeding.
• Catfish (Hito) can be harvested between four to six months of feeding.
Harvesting Fish
Fish is an important part of the Filipino diet. The nutritional content,
cheapest cost, availability and abundance of fish in the market have made
it popular in our diet. Fish is the major source of high-quality protein
without the presence of saturated fat found in meat which is not good for
the health. There are several methods used to harvest fish:
1. Use of Salakab or Taklob - this is commonly used by fishermen
who catch fish on brooks or streams.
2. Use of Baited Hook and Line-the hook catches only one fish at a
time and it takes time to catch many fishes.
3. Use of Net - the most common and practical method used by the
fishermen and the commercial fishing boats in rivers, lakes, seas and
fishponds.
4. Total Drainage-the pond is drained of its water and a long fishnet
is used to catch the fish.

There are two kinds of net:


1. The dip net is shaped like a square and is lowered at the bottom of
the pond and then lifted as fast as possible.
2. The lift net is a large version of the dip net and would require
about four persons to hold the net on four sides for faster lifting.
