Introductory Message
 Welcome to TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production)!

The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Learning Activity

Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the Schools Division of
Himamaylan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through the
Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to guide
the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Learning Activity

Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to guide the learners in
accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the contextualized
resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring the
lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Activity Sheet will help
you facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential
Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between
you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with the
references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Activity Sheet is

developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning
material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent
learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions
then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to
your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

(TLE_AFAC9-12IW-IVa-e-3)

II. Background Information for Learners

Improper waste disposal can create environmental problems, health
problems and economic concerns. As a student, it is important for you to
learn the proper waste disposal so you can help maintain the balance of our
ecosystem.
According to Wikipedia, waste management includes the activities and
actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This
includes collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of waste together with
monitoring and regulation. Wastes are any substances which are discarded
after primary use, or are worthless, defective and of no use.

The following are different types of waste:

1. Municipal solid waste – these are waste coming from home, institutions
and commercial sources consisting of everyday items such as product
packaging, grass clippings, furniture clothing, plastic bottles and cans,
food scraps, newspapers, appliances, consumer electronics and
batteries.
2. Agricultural and animal waste – these are materials generated from the
production and harvesting of crops or trees and rearing of animals.
Animal waste is a subset of agricultural waste and includes waste such
as feed waste, bedding and litter, and feedlot and paddock runoff from
livestock, dairy, and other animal-related agricultural and farming
practices.

 3. Medical waste – any solid materials that generated in the diagnosis,
treatment, or immunization of human beings or animals, in the
production or testing of biologicals excluding hazardous waste.
4. Radioactive waste – these are waste containing substances that emit
ionizing radiation. These wastes are classified by regulation according
to its source and content. The types of waste that are typically
considered radioactive waste include high-level waste, low-level waste,
mixed low-level waste transuranic waste and certain wastes from the
extraction and processing of uranium and thorium ore.
5. Hazardous waste – these are waste with properties that are dangerous
or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. These
wastes can be solid, liquid, contained gas, or sludges. They can be the
byproducts of manufacturing processes or simply discarded commercial
products like cleaning fluid or pesticides.
6. Industrial non-hazardous waste – these wastes come from the
production of goods and products such as electric power generation and
manufacturing of materials such as pulp and paper, iron and steel,
glass, and concrete.
7. Construction and demolition debris – waste materials that are
generated during the construction, renovation and demolitions of
buildings, roads, and bridges.
8. Extraction and mining waste – these are soil and rock generated during
the process of gaining access to the ore or mineral body, as well as
water that infiltrates the mine during the extraction process.
9. Fossil fuel combustion waste – are waste from the combustion of oil,
natural gas, or petroleum coke, the combustion of coal at electric
utilities and independent power-producing facilities, non-utilities and
facilities with fluidized bed combustion technology, or the combustion
of mixtures of coal and other fuels.
10.Sewage sludge – are semi-solid residue from any of several air or water
treatment processes. When treated and processed, sewage sludge
becomes a nutrient-rich organic material called biosolids.

There are various methods of disposing wastes such as landfill,

incineration/ combustion, recovery and recycling, plasma gasification, and
composting. Among the various methods, the best ways of managing waste
are the recycling and composting. Composting is possible on a small scale,
either by private individuals or in areas where waste can be mixed with
farming soil or used for landscaping while recycling can be used widely
around the world, with plastic, paper, and metal leading the list of the most
recyclable items.

What are the benefits of waste management?

There are several benefits of treating and managing waste:
1. Better environment

2
 One of the major advantages of proper waste disposal is to have a
better and fresher environment. It can also contribute to the well-being
of people by helping them to become healthy and disease-free.
2. Reduce pollution
When waste is managed right away, it does not merely eliminate
the subsequent waste but also reduce the impact and the intensity of
harmful greenhouse gases like carbon-dioxide carbon mono-dioxide and
methane that released from accumulated waste in the landfills.
3. Conserve energy
Recycling is one of the biggest aspects of waste management, it
helps conserve energy. We all know that thousands of trees are cut to
produce paper. When used paper is recycled to create new paper, we
can minimize cutting of trees. This helps to conserve energy while
reducing carbon footprints.
4. Create employment
Recycling of waste materials can create hundreds of jobs. As more
people adopt this eco-friendly practice, organizations creating and
selling recycled products come to the forefront.

Environmental Laws
Presidential Decree (PD) 1152, “the Philippine Environmental Code”,
which took effect in 1977, provides a basis for an integrated waste
management regulation starting from waste source to methods of disposal. PD
1152 has further mandated specific guidelines to manage municipal wastes
(solid and liquid), sanitary landfill and incineration, and disposal sites in the
Philippines. In 1990, the Philippine Congress enacted the Toxic Substances,
Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Control Act, commonly known as Republic Act
(RA) 6969, a law designated to respond to increasing problems associated with
toxic chemicals and hazardous and nuclear wastes. RA 6969 mandates
control and management of import, manufacture, processes, distribution, use,
transport, treatment, and disposal of toxic substances and hazardous and
nuclear waste in the country. The Act seeks to protect public health and the
environment from unreasonable risks posed by these substances in the
country. Aside from the policy rules and regulation of RA 6969, hazardous
waste management must also comply with the requirements of other specific
environmental laws, such as PD 984 (pollution Control Law), PD 1586
(Environmental Impact Assessment System Law), RA 8749 (Clean Air Act) and
RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and their implementing
rules and regulations.

If farm wastes are not managed properly, they can cause contamination
of the premises, livestock, inputs, and food. The accumulation of farm waste
can also provide habitats and food for the pests, especially rodents.
