If you can demonstrate to your teacher that you are competent in a
particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so
you don’t have to do the same training again. If you have a qualification or
Certificate of Competency from previous trainings show it to your teacher. If the
skills you acquired are still current and relevant to this module, they may become
part of the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not sure about the
currency of your skills, discuss it with your teacher.
After completing this module ask your teacher to assess your competency.
Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the
learning activities are designed for you to complete at your own pace.
Inside this module you will find the activities for you to complete followed by
relevant information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome
may have more than one learning activity.

UNIT OF COMPETENCY Produce Organic Vegetables

MODULE TITLE Producing Organic Vegetables

INTRODUCTION:
This module covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to produce
organic vegetables. Correct methods of producing vegetables must be in
accordance with enterprise practices should be applied.
Performing harvest and post-harvest activities should be followed in the
right manner how to determine maturity indices dictated by the target
market, harvesting procedure and postharvest activities to produce good
quality and prolonged shelf life which when applied the following right
procedure will result to prolonged shelf life thus, increased income.

NOMINAL DURATION: 8 HRS

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1.1 Knowing or identifying what the market wants is carried out in accordance with enterprise
practice;
1.2 Determining the physiological maturity of vegetables planted is essential to have a prolonged
shelf life;
1.3 Applying other postharvest activities such as: sorting, classifying, grading and even washing;
1.4 Placing in appropriate packaging materials can help prolong the shelf life, using
indigenous/bio-degradable and attractive to the eyes of the buyers.

CRITERIA:
2.1 Knowing what the market wants:
2.2 Knowing what the market wants will dictate what particular physiological
2.3 Determining the physiological maturity of a particular vegetables plays an
important role to have a maximum benefit and prolonged shelf life;
2.4 Performing postharvest activities such as sorting, grading, classifying will
differentiate climacteric vs non-climacteric type of ripening and will also
determine marketability from non-marketability;
2.5 Placing harvested vegetables/fruits in an appropriate containers will
prevent from postharvest losses such mechanical damage, bruises,
contusions that lead to faster deterioration thus shelf life becomes shorter.

3.3 Determining maturity of the produce will prolong its shelf life thus, giving its
maximum benefit;
3.4 Harvesting vegetables in its physiological maturity stage gives maximum
nutritional benefit.

4.0 Other postharvest handling activities:


4.1 What are the benefits of sorting from good vs reject?
4.2 Grading depending on the market;

INFORMATION SHEET

PLANT SEEDLINGS

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to compare
and contrast the difference between the organic and inorganic fertilizers in using
as soil media for the growth of seedlings, value the importance of micro-organisms
produced by organic matter,and it could alleviate an extra income if properly
observed the correct practice of producing organic vegetables in accordance with
enterprise practice.

Introduction
One good basis in choosing what kind of farming technology to use in your
farm is gaining more knowledge and understanding through the use and utilize
the available resources in your environment. To provide a free from chemical
contamination vegetables served at our tables, we must adopt “Organic vegetable
production” practices. A good and proper way of producing organic vegetables
starts from “PLANT SEEDLINGS”.

STEPS/PROCEDURES:

1. Prepre the land by clearing and removing all necessary things that could
hinder the growth of your desired plants to produce.

2. Plowing and harrowing the land for proper tillage

3. Pulverize the soil before sowing the seeds

4. Apply organic fertilizer before planting

5. Observe proper care and maintenance of your growing vegetable


seedlings.

6. Observe correct practice of nutrient management &
