BASIC CALCULATION
OVERVIEW:

Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising
livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and
their distribution to markets.

Agriculture provides most of the world’s food and fabrics. Cotton, wool, and leather are
all agricultural products. Agriculture also provides wood for construction and paper
products.
CONTENT STANDARD: The student should be able to Demonstrate understanding
Of Farm tools ,Power tools ,Handheld tools ,Defects and remedies and Farm tool safety

PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The student should be able to Appropriate hand tools

checked for proper operation and safety
LEARNING COMPETENCY: The student should be able to Select and use farm tools
properly
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
K: At the end of the lesson the student should be able to identify what are the function
of farm tools and use of it.
S: At the end of the lesson the student should be able to perform the safe precaution in
using farm tools
A: At the end of the lesson the student should be able to Share the importance of using
farm tools.

CONTENT:
PERFORM ESTIMATION AND BASIC CALCULATION
Farm tools, implements, and equipment play very important role in agricultural crop
production.

Unlocking:
Plowing= tilling the land with a plow.
Harrowing= Cultivation of the soil with a harrow.
Mulching= is an excellent alternative to traditional mowing if you want to avoid having to deal
with grass clippings
Furrow= A trench plowed in the ground

What is farm input?

Farm Inputs
The resources that are used in farm production, such as chemicals, equipment, seed, and
energy. Most farm inputs are purchased (a change from the days when animals powered most
operations), making production costs susceptible to nonfarm economic conditions.
Example
Fertilizer Seeds Seedings Insecticides Labors

Fertilizer = a chemical or natural substance added to soil or land to increase its fertility.
seeds= a flowering plant's unit of reproduction, capable of developing into another such plant.
Seedlings= is a young plant, already grown from a seed.
Insecticides= a chemical substance used for killing insects.
Labor= the body of persons engaged in such activity, esp. those working for wages

Labor requirement for land preparation

Plowing using tractor

Clearing of the land using hoe

Plowing using animal

Harrowing using hand tractor

LEARNING OUTCOME
1: Perform Estimation

Seed

Estimating Farm Inputs and Labor Requirements

Estimated irrigation expenses from planting up to last harvest

Irrigation expenses =

Estimated worker hired to perform irrigation from planting to harvest

Estimated workers = Worker x Total land area

Estimated number of days fro spraying insecticides (per worker)

Estimated no. of days = no. of days x Total land area

Estimated workers needed for spraying insecticides (in one day)

Estimated workers = No. of worker x Total land area

Estimated cost of insecticides use for spraying

Estimated cost = Price x No. of insecticides x Total land area

LABOR REQUIREMENT FOR PLANT CARE

Mulching digging holes (for orchard)

Two categories of Farm Tools in Agricultural Crop Production:

Hand tools
are usually light and are used without the help of animals or machines.
 Farm Implements
These are accessories which are being pulled by working animals or mounted to machineries.
These are usually made of a special kind of metal.

Different Hand Tools

Crowbar is used for digging big
holes and for digging out big stones
and stumps.

Rake is used for cleaning the

ground and leveling the topsoil.
Bolo is used for cutting tall grasses
and weeds and chopping branches
of trees.

Pick-mattock is used for digging

canals, breaking hard topsoil and
for digging up stones and tree
stumps.

Spading fork is used for loosening

the soil, digging out root crops and
turning over the materials in a
compost heap.

Grab-hoe is used for breaking hard

topsoil and pulverizing soil

Spade is used for removing trash or

soil, digging canals or ditches and
mixing soil media.

Hand trowel is used for loosening

the soil around the growing plants
and putting small amount of
manure fertilizer in the soil.
Shovel is used in removing trash,
digging loose soil, moving soil from
one place to another and for mixing
soil media.

Hand cultivator is used for

cultivating the garden plot by
loosening the soil and removing
weeds around the plant.

Water pails for hauling water,

manure and fertilizers

Pruning shears is for cutting

branches of planting materials and
unnecessary branches of plants.

Axe is for cutting bigger size post.

Knife is for cutting planting

materials and for performing other
operations in horticulture

Sprinklers for watering seedlings

and youngplants

Wheel barrow is used for hauling

trash, manures, fertilizers, planting
materials and other equipment

Sickle is a hand-held agricultural

tool with a variously curved blade
typically used for cutting weeds.
