DIRECT PLANTING/SOWING
a. Orthodox seeds – these are seeds which can be kept for longer periods
provided they are properly dried and stored after harvest and at its
maturity
Examples:
balimbing, betel nut, cashew, coconut, guava,
papaya, passion fruit, and tamarind; and all
vegetable seeds and ornamentals plants fall to this
category
b. Recalcitrant seeds – these are seed of many fruits and plantation crops
which cannot withstand drying and should not be permitted to dry out
before planting
Examples:
mango, durian, rambutan, mangosteen, lanzones,
santol, jackfruit, tea, cacao, citrus, rubber, avocado,
duhat, calamansi, and oil palm
c. Long lived seeds – these are seeds which contain hard seed coat
Example:
Pili
a. Indehiscent – plants with dry fruit that combine seed with fruit cover, do
not dehisce (splits apart when ripe) and are not disseminated at
maturity.
2. Cuttings
9
POINTS TO CONSIDER IN SELECTING CUTTINGS:
The underground section of the plant is used for planting materials. The
runners or suckers are clipped off from the parent plants and then
planted to the field before they get dry. They are usually set in ridges
and rows. Examples of these crops are arrowroots, ginger, taro and
gabi.
4. Bulb
The bulb portion of the plant is used as a planting material. Example is
garlic.
1. BY MACHINE
Most commercial gardeners plant seeds with machine planters or seed
drillers and the likes. Machines do the work much better and more rapidly
than by hand sowing. The common seed drillers open the furrow, drop the
seeds, cover them, and pack the soil at one operation. These drillers can
be regulated to sow at various rates and at the depth desired.
