B. REVIEW
Let’s have a recall about our previous
topic.

What is our topic last meeting? Sir it’s about Sexual Plant Propagation.
Very Good!

Again, what is Sexual Plant

Propagation?
Yes (name of student) Sir, In Sexual Plant Propagation we can
propagate plants by means of seed.

Correct!

Sexual plant propagation involves the

union of the pollen (male) with the egg
(female) to produce a seed.

There are three parts of seeds. Will you

give one and identify?
Yes(name of student) Sir, outer seed coat which protects the
seed.

Nice answer!
What else?
Yes (name of student) Sir, endosperm which is food reserve

Correct!
And the last one? Sir, embryo which is the young plant
Yes (name of student) itself.

Excellent!
I’m glad that all of you still remember
our last topic.

Now let’s proceed to our next topic.

C. MOTIVATION

This time we will be having a game. The

game called APPM Puzzle.

I’m going to give you one envelope per

group, inside of it there is a puzzle that
you need to complete. You will paste it
on the board and you need to complete it
in one minute. The first group who will
finish the puzzle would be the winner
and they will receive a prize.
Yes Sir!
 Are you ready?

The timer starts now! (the students will complete the puzzle
(one minute timer) in one minute)

(after one minute)

Congratulations group ___, you are the

winner!

You may now take your sit.

Based on the puzzle, what can you say

about those pictures? Sir, based on what I observed in the
Yes(name of student) pictures are the materials and plants.

Sir my idea in the picture is about

Okay, What else?
marcotting.
Yes(name of student)

Exactly!

D. PRESENTATION

Our topic for today is asexual plant

propagation-marcotting.

Any idea about asexual plant

propagation? Sir, asexual plant propagation we can
Yes(name of student) propagate plants by means of leaves,
roots and stem.

Correct!
In Asexual Plant Propagation we can
multiply plants using the parts and buds
of selected mother plants.
Like for example, leaves roots and stems
Sir, Marcotting is one of the method of
Do you know what marcotting is? asexual plant propagation. It is induced
Yes( name of student) to develop roots while still attached to
the mother plant.

Very good!

Marcotting is a plant propagation method

for woody plants that allows you to root
branches while still attached to the
mother plant.
Remember, we can only marcott a plant
that has a hardwood stem like citrus. For
example: calamansi, pomelo and
dalandan.
We can also propagate Chico, guyabano
and avocado.

We can’t marcott a plant with a softwood

stem like banana, papaya and gabi or
other plants that has a softwood stem.

Before we do the marcotting you need to 1. Wear your Personal Protective

be aware of the safety precautions and Equipment(PPE)
reminder.

Will you read? 2. Remove all the accessories in

(name of student) our hands like bracelets, wrist
watch and ring.
The next one?
(name of student) 3. Be careful in using pruning
shear or scissors.

The third one? 4. Don’t play while doing the

(name of student) activity.

The last one?

(name of student)

Thank you!

Now, let’s do the marcotting

This are the materials and tools needed:

Sir, Pruning shear.
(present the materials and ask the
students) Sir, Straw tie.

What is this? Sir, Clear plastic.

(name of student)
Sir, Sphagnum moss.
(name of student)

(name of student) Sir, San, Francisco plant.

(name of student)

What is our specimen?

(name of student)

Very Good!

As a specimen we are going to use San

Francisco plant.
Why San Francisco plant?
Because it’s already available in the Sir, Choose a branch not too young and
 locality. not to old.

(call a students to read the step)

What is the first step? Sir, Remove a ring of bark 3-5 cm long.
Yes (name of student)

Thank you! Sir, Scrape the cambium layer

The second step.
Yes (name of student)

Thank you!
The third step.
Yes (name of student)

Thank you!

What is cambium layer?

Cambium layer is a growing point of a Sir, Put the sphagnum moss, not too

layer? To avoid callus formation.

The fourth step. Sir, Cut the extended plastic to look

Yes (name of student) clean and presentable.

Thank you.
The fifth step.
Yes (name of student)

What are the importance of marcotting

or why we are applying marcotting?
1. For rapid plant propagation
2. To preserved the desirable
characteristics of the mother plant.
3. We can propagate plants in any
seasons of the year, either wet or dry
season.

We are now done in marcotting plant.

We will wait for 30-45 days for the
growth of the roots.

(present the finish product)

None, Sir
This is what it looks like after 30-45
days. As you can see, there is already a
root and it is ready to plant into the soil
to your desired area.

Any question or clarification about (The students will bring their materials)
marcotting?
 E. APPLICATION
For your activity, you will also marcott a
plant. Each group will be having a plant
to marcott.

Please bring all your materials first. Yes Sir

(facilitate the students in their work)

Sir, I’ve learned on how to marcott

We are now done in our activity.

You may now take your seat. Sir, I’ve learned the importance of
asexual plant propagation marcotting,

F. GENERALIZATION
What have you learned in marcotting?

Very good, who else?

Yes (name of student)

Excellent!
I’m happy that every one of you had
learned something

That ends of our discussion for today, I

hope you’ve learned a lot.
