III- Learning Activities
Teacher’s Activity
A. Daily Routine
- Good morning everyone! 
- Let us all stand and will you please
lead the prayer, ______.
- Before you sit, please arrange your
chairs and pick up the pieces of dirt.
- Ms. Secretary, who are absent for
today?
- Class, do you have an assignment?
- Before we go on to our discussion, I’ll
first present to you our objectives for
today’s lesson.
- Will you please read the objectives?
B. Review
- Before I start with our discussion, let
us have first a sort of review with
regards to our previous lesson. We
discussed about method of plant
propagation, who can tell me what
plant propagation is?
- Thank you. There are two kinds of
propagation, the sexual method and
asexual method.
- Any volunteer from the class who can
describe how plants reproduce
sexually?
- How about for asexual reproduction?
Student’s Activity
- Good morning Maam! 
- Let us put ourselves in the presence of
God. In the name of the Father, and of
the son, and of the Holy spirit, Amen.
Our Father…….. Let’s thank God for
entrusting another year to our
borrowed life. May this year be filled
with love, peace, happiness, wealth,
good health, success and hope for
everyone.
- Yes Maam.
- The secretary will report the absentees
for today’s meeting.
- None Maam.
Objectives:
1. Define growing media and its different
types;
2. Discuss the purpose of different
growing media and its characteristics;
3. Apply different kinds of growing media
through actual mixing of growing
media available in the area.
- Plant propagation is the process of
creating new plants from a variety of
sources such as seeds, cuttings, bulbs
and other plant parts.
- Maam, by seed propagation! The most
common method of propagating trees
as it is the easiest is by seeds.
-
- Asexual reproduction has plants
involves the propagation of new plants
 using only the vegetative parts of the
- Very good. So now let’s have an parent plant. There are different
activity before we proceed to our new methods of asexual reproduction such
topic. as cuttings, separation, division,
layering, budding, tissue culture and
grafting.
C. Motivation
- I have here jumbled letters. All you
have to do is to guess the hidden
word. I’ll be giving clues for you to
easily guess it. Are you ready class? - Yes maam!
- This is now the jumbled letters.

TAFNIAGIR

- First clue, it is one way of plant

reproduction. - GRAFTING
- Second clue, it is the union of two
plants’ part and grows as one.

- Let’s check if your answers is correct.

- Yes! Very Good! Exactly! 
- Your answers from the activity have
something to do with our topic this
afternoon which is grafting.
D. Procedure
- Okay! Let us start with discussion.
- Anyone who has an idea of what - Maam, grafting is connecting parts of
grafting is? plant together.

- Yes. Another?

- Class, grafting is the art of joining

parts of plants together in such a
manner that will unite and continue
their growth as one plant. By the way
class, grafting is one of the techniques
in asexual propagation.

- In grafting, you don’t only connect

parts of plants together but there are
two parts of plants to be considered.
The SCION which is the short piece if
detached shoot with one to several - Maam, does it mean that scion is the
dormant buds. upper portion of graft combination?

- Yes. Very nice observation.

- Second is the ROOTSTOCK, which is

the lower portion of graft which
develops into the root system of the
grafted plant.

- Another one is the INTERSTOCK; it is a

piece of stem inserted between scion
and rootstock. It is used to avoid any
incompatibility between scion and
 rootstock and/or to take advantage of
its growth controlling properties.
- I hope you understand the parts.
- Now, how useful is grafting? Can you
give benefits of using grafted plants?
- Yes! Those are the advantages gained
for using grafting as one way of
asexual reproduction.
- There are different types of grafting
namely:
1. Whip or tongue grafting
2. Splice grafting
3. Side grafting
4. Cleft grafting
5. Bridge grafting
6. Bark grafting
7. Saddle grafting
- Any volunteer from the class to
describe the different types of grafting?
- How about the splice grafting?
- Very good! Any idea about side
grafting method?
- What is the next type of grafting?
- Very good!  Another type? Anyone?
- Nice  how about the next type?
- Lastly, the type of grafting is saddle
grafting, anyone who can describe
this?
- Very Good  I hope you understand
the different types of grafting
- Disease resistant rootstocks
- Stronger root systems
- Dwarfing capabilities
-
- Whip or tongue grafting is most
commonly used to graft nursery crops
or woody ornamental. Both stock and
scion has similar cuts, and should be of
equal size and preferably no more than
½ inch in diameter.
- Splice grafting, a method of grafting by
cutting the ends of the scion and stock
completely across and obliquely, in
such a way that the sections are of the
same shape, then lapping the ends so
that the one that was cut on the
surface exactly fits the other. And
securing them by typing or otherwise.
- Side grafting, it is the most popular
way to graft conifers, especially those
having a compact or dwarf form. It is
usually done on potted rootstock.
- Cleft grafting, it is a method for top
working both flowering and fruiting
tress in order to change varieties.
- Bridge grafting, it is used to bridge a
diseased or damage area of a plant,
usually at or near the base of the
trunk.
- Bark grafting, primarily to top work
flowering and fruiting trees. It can be
applied to rootstock of a larger
diameter (4 to 12 inches).
- Saddle grafting, the stock may be
either field-grown or potted. It is often
used to propagate named varieties of

activity for you.
- Steps for Grafting:
1. Choose your cultivar and your
rootstock.
2. Amputate your rootstock.
3. Cleave your rootstock.
4. Prepare the scions.
5. Insert the scions into the rootstock.
6. Seal the graft.
7. Look after the graft.
- Did you understand how grafting is
done?

- Yes Maam.

grafting.

2. Identify the importance and its steps in

grafting

3. Organize small group and assign tasks to

group members to complete the grafting
activity.

Summary

- One of the methods of plant

reproduction in asexual propagation is
 grafting. Grafting is the union of the
cambium layers of a parent tree (stock)
and a desired variety (scion) in such a
way that the two form a solid, growing
unit. And one of the importance of
using grafted plant is to achieve the
desired variety of fruit. There are
different types of grafting and one of
the activities performed by the student
is the cleft grafting.

* Give values learned

Aside from those benefits that were discussed,

can you cite personal advantage of using
grafting as a way of plant propagation
