 What is It

These are the processes to ensure a higher rate of survival of

planting trees and fruit-bearing trees

Thinning –To produce strong plants, pull out

some crowded seedlings so that the remaining
plants will have more room.

Pricking – This is done by transferring seedlings

from one seed box to another to provide more space
for proper development. Water the seedlings before
pricking.

Hardening – This process is done 7 to 15 days

before transplanting.

General Steps in the Proper Transferring of Plants:

* Place the seedlings away from direct sunlight. Make sure the seedlings are
healthy and fresh before planting.
* Dig the area where you want to plant them. The length and depth of the hole
should be according to how big the tree will become.
* Remove the plant from the plastic bag. Do not remove the soil which holds
the roots.
* Slowly and carefully place the seedlings in the hole. Make sure the main
roots are not bent.
* Cover it with soil. Lightly press the soil.
* Water the new plant early the next morning. Use a water sprinkler.
* Plant your seedlings in the afternoon when sunlight is no longer hot to avoid
withering.

Digging the Hole
Planting too deep is the top reason that trees and shrubs die. Follow these
simple steps:

Backfill
The thinking on backfill has changed in recent years. Although it was once
common to modify the backfill soil with amendments — such as compost,
peat moss, aged manure and other ingredients

Planting
When moving your plant into the planting hole, disturb the root ball as
little as possible.

Mulching
Apply bark mulch or pine straw to a depth of 2”–3" over the entire planting
hole. Mulching helps conserve water and prevent weeds.

Staking
Staking at planting time is not always necessary. Consider the stability of
the root ball, trunk size and strength, direction of prevailing winds, canopy
size and density when determining whether or not to stake.

Fertilizing
We do not recommend fertilizing newly planted trees and shrubs during
their first year of growth.

Watering
The roots should never dry out completely, nor should they be
waterlogged.

“Market Demands for Fruits”

Planting fruits is a favorable source of income if he/she pay close

attention to it and has technical knowledge and the ability in planting,
accompanied by effort, hard work and determination. The demand for fruits
both local and international market continues to rise because more people
aware that fruits are important for life to flourish. Nowadays, people of
different ages are becoming increasingly health conscious. They realize the
importance of good nutrition in promoting good health. Fruits are very
nutritious, loaded with fiber, water and
Have significant chewing resistance. They are already part of the daily
food of most Filipinos and people across the world. That is why the demand
for fruits in the market remains high in rank.

6
To ensure success in selling fruits, the farmer or seller should consider
the following market demands:

1. Buyers select 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 their freshest state when being sold. They can
command higher prices.
4. Pack fruits properly in good containers 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 price makes your product competitive.

Ways of Marketing a Product

1. Retail - this refers to the sale of goods in small quantities directly to

the consumer.
2. Wholesale- this is the sale of goods in a relatively large quantity to be
retailed by others.
3. Consignment basis-this is an agreement to supply goods for a definite
price and at a specific time.
4. Announcement of products to the public.
5. Direct selling to the market place.
6. Selling through cooperatives.

Fruit bearing trees are available and sold in different stages of growth
and ready to be transplanted. Among these sources are:

Commercial Nursery - run by private individuals usually offering

landscaping materials and services.

Agricultural Institution - a school that offers a course related to agriculture

and other plant studies.

Department of Agriculture - responsible for any agricultural activities in

terms of vegetables and fruits.

Bureau of Plant and Industry - they develop scientific improvement for each
plant species in a locality and adjacent place
