B. Review
The teacher recalls the past lesson by asking questions regarding to the previous topic.

Guide Questions:
1. What are the different factors to consider in site selection for rice production?

C. Motivation
The teacher will give an activity.

The game called “PASS THE PARCEL BOX GAME”.

INSTRUCTION:
1. Student will pass around a parcel box while music is playing.
2. When the music stops, the one who is holding the parcel box will guess the word by referring to the
given pictures inside the box.

D. Lesson Proper
The teacher will discuss the following:

The success of rice production starts with knowing the kind of soil where you are going to plant. The rice
plant is nutrient sensitive; its ability to produce good harvest depends on the nutrients present in the soil. Soil
sampling and analysis are important to determine the pH level and the nutrients present in the soil. The result
of the soil analysis will be the basis of fertilizer application.

SOIL NUTRIENTS
3 MAIN NUTRIENTS
1. NITROGEN 2. PHOSPHOROUS 3. POTASSIUM

2 METHODS OF SOIL SAMPLING

1. RANDOMIZED SOIL SAMPLING
Collect samples from 15 to 20 of the area with the same elevation

2. ZIGZAG SOIL SAMPLING

Collecting sample with zigzag pattern

Tools and materials:

Spade/shovel
Soil auger
Bolo
Container/water pail
Siever
Paper/plastic bag
Meter stick
PPE
Pen/marker

Procedures to Follow in Soil Sampling

1. Make a sketch of the area showing sampling areas (SA). Divide the farm into sampling areas. Each
SA should be more or less uniform in cropping history, past lime and fertilizer treatments, slope,
degree of erosion and soil texture and color.
2. In each SA dig from 5 -10 pits and collect samples corresponding to the size of the sampling area. Spot
sample is taken in the following manner:
 clear the soil surface area
 using a shovel or spade dig a pit to a depth of 20-30 centimeters
 from one vertical side of the pit take a slice of soil 2-3 cm thick with a single downward thrust of the
spade. Using a knife or trowel trim the slice of soil on both sides to a bar of 3-4 cm width.
 place the thin bar of soil in a pail or any suitable clean container.
 if the subsoil sample is needed, take a bar of soil from the succeeding 20 to 30 cm soil depth. The subsoil
and surface soil should be placed in separate containers.
 E. Generalization
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
Considerations in collecting and preparing the soil sample
1. Collect soils that are not too wet or too dry.
2. Collect soil samples away from fences, roads and building sites.
3. Collect soil samples away from straw piles, manure piles and other abnormal occurrence.
4. Do not mix light and dark colored soils.
5. Do not mix samples from areas which vary in the past treatment or average crop yield.
6. Do not mix samples of different textures.

F. Evaluation
I. Fill in the blanks. Choose your answer in the box.

__________1. increased resistance to plant diseases.

__________2. Often called as potash and helps plants to use water and resist drought.
__________3. Are chemical elements that are essential for the growth and fertility.
__________4. Nutrients needed in smaller quantities.
__________5. A point that is needed where too much of a nutrient becomes poisonous.

G. Assignment
Give one of the considerations in collecting and preparing soil samples and why is it important.
