Mang Kanor lives in a peaceful barangay in the Municipality of Taytay,

Palawan. One of his sources of income is planting different kinds of
crops. To support his family's needs, he decided to plant various
vegetables in his garden. He takes care of it every day so that in the
coming season he can harvest nutritious vegetables for his family’s
consumption, and he can sell some to earn money for their other
needs. But due to the extremely hot weather and water shortage, his
crops are greatly affected. The crops are also infested with various
insects. If you were Mang Kanor, what would you do to protect and take
care of your crops?

thoughts. It is interesting to know that you learned something from
the video.

Developing Land preparation is the first step in crop production to ensure that
Understandin crops can produce excellent quality yields. It is important to provide
g of the Key plants with good soil conditions for their development.
Idea/Stem
(15 minutes) This time class, let’s have another group activity.

Expected/Possible Answers: Applying plant nutrients to crop

plants to enhance their availability from natural sources is known
as fertilizer application. This is a process where farmers apply
nutrients to the soil to serve as food for plants.

Expected/Possible Answer: Water is a valuable resource that

may be used for a variety of tasks, such as recreation, power
generating, cleaning, food production, and more. It is also crucial
for plants, that is why humans irrigate crops with water so they
can survive.

Expected/Possible Answer: Weeding and cultivation.

Weeds lead to the reduction of crop yield, increased production
costs, and increased incidence of pests and diseases. To control
weeds, the following methods are used: hand weeding,
6
 LESSON SCRIPT IN TLE 7

mechanical cultivation, and application of pesticides. Cultivation

makes the topsoil loose to increase its capacity to absorb water
and it also kills the weeds or unwanted plants. Cultivation is done
after planting and before the crops cover the ground. One of the
aims of soil cultivation is to help plants grow better.

Expected/Possible Answer:
Trellis or support for climbing plants may be made from wood or
metal which serve as support for climbing and crawling crops.
Creeping plants like bitter gourd benefit when using this kind of
support. Using a trellis will prevent plant fruits from rotting, thus
reducing loss in harvest yield.

Excellent! You’ve shared your great ideas on how to care for and
maintain crops.

Deepening (To deepen students’ understanding of the lesson, the teacher asks
Understandin the following questions.)
7
 LESSON SCRIPT IN TLE 7

1. Why is fertilization one of the important components of crop

production?

Expected/Possible Answer: The use of suitable fertilizers can

ensure the crops’ nutritional requirements. Soil analysis for available
plant nutrients is important before adding fertilizers to any crop.

2. When it comes to fertilizer application, especially when using

chemical fertilizer, why is it important to use Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) when applying it to the crops?

Expected/Possible Answers:
Chemical fertilizer may affect our health if we do not use appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment. When applying these chemicals, use
gloves that are suited for the chemical. You should also use a mask
when applying powder fertilizers.

3. Why is cultivation important in crop production?

Expected/Possible Answer: Cultivation is important because it makes

the topsoil loose, increasing its capacity to absorb water. It also kills
weeds or unwanted plants.
g of the Key
Idea/Stem
4. Why is irrigation important in crop production?
(5 minutes)
Expected/Possible Answers:
Because crops require water, and irrigation prevents crops from
drying out especially during drought.

5. What are the proper ways of caring for and maintaining crops?
Expected/Possible Answers:
The following practices are ways to care for and maintain crops: cultivation,
fertilizer application, pest control, irrigation, and weeding of plants.

6. What will happen if farmers do not apply proper care and maintenance to
their crops?
Expected/Possible Answers:
Failure to apply proper care and maintenance to crops may affect the
amount of harvest that may cause stress to farmers. Problems may arise
which may also result in family conflict.

Great job, everyone! I am impressed by your responses.

Proper care and maintenance of crops is important to have a bountiful

harvest. Farmers will produce enough yield for their family and for others.
Through earnest effort and by being responsible towards work, they can
share products with those in need and by this, showing responsibility to
others is realized.

After/Post-Lesson Proper
Making As we conclude our discussions on caring and maintaining crops, I have a
Generalizatio summarizing activity for you. With the given web organizer, write down the
