OPENING PRAYER

ALL:
In the Name of the
Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
THE PAULINIAN GLEANERS’ PRAYER
God, our loving Father, through Your Holy Spirit,
enable us to participate in Jesus’ saving mission to
make You known and loved throughout the world.
May we joyfully live out our Paulinian identity as
gleaners who are:

PRAYERFUL, mindful of who we truly are and why we

are here – Your children called to follow Your
Holy Will;
SELF-EFFACING, quick to transcend when we
are not recognized for the good we have done or
when we are taken for granted;
With TRANQUIL-DARING to proceed when we
feel that the work and responsibilities given us
are back-breaking and beyond our capacity;
and
ALL TO ALL, willing to faithfully serve everyone
especially the least, the last, and the lost.
Our Lady of Chartres, pray for us.
St. Paul the Apostle, our Patron, pray for us.
Fr. Louis Chauvet and our First Sisters,
intercede for us.
Caritas Christi Urget Nos, now and for ever.
Amen.

 LESSON 4:
Interpret Plans

Drawings
Site Assessment

It refers to the practice of

checking on the characteristics
of the property, such as its
topography, boundaries, soil,
and water resources.
How important is to assess
the site before carrying out
farm operations?
Site assessment is essential to determine
whether the land's topography, boundaries,
soil, and water resources are suitable with
the crops to be planted to ensure better
yields and profits.
 Factors to Consider during Site Assessment
Topography It refers to the crop’s natural adaptation to land
features, such as elevation, slope, and terrain.

Boundaries The corner points of the boundaries of each

property must be marked with a survey monument.

Soil It is a complex mixture of organic and mineral content,

resources constantly being formed by the weathering of rocks.

Water It is any range of natural waters that occur on earth,

resources regardless of their state, and is potentially helpful
to humans.
 Farm Plan
It is a document that makes
use of the site assessment
data to outline the farm
management practices to be
followed by the farmworkers
to avoid potential negative
environmental impacts of the
farm operations to be
conducted.
Why is there a need to formulate a
farm plan?

A well-formulated farm plan is essential in outlining the

best management practices to be followed by the farm
workers to avoid potential negative environmental
impacts from the farm operations to be carried out in the
chosen site.
Farm Layout

It depicts the location of

the fields and different
considerations to the
farmstead and public
highways, if there are any,
the size, shape, and
number of fields, and the
location of hot lots, feed
yards, and others.
What is the difference between the direct
and indirect methods of planting?

transplanted from the
seed box to the garden
plot.
Direct method of planting involves directly
sowing the seeds on the soil where it will be
permanently grown.
Meanwhile, the indirect method of planting uses
seed boxes or similar material to grow the seeds
first into seedlings. Once it becomes a seedling, it
is then transplanted to a bigger area where it will
be grown permanently where can easily monitor
how many seeds are growing.”

 Steps in Planting
Direct Method
1. Prepare the plot.
2. Sterilize the plot.
a. Burn hays.
b. Pour boiling water.
3. Sow seed on the ground.
4. Cover the soil with mulch.
5. Water the plants and soil.
6. Remove some seedlings and
maintain allowable distance
between plants.
7. Cover the garden bed with
nylon.
Indirect Method
1.Prepare the seedbox.
2. Fill the seedbox with good soil.
3.Sow the seeds.
4. Water the soil.
5. Cover the seed box with plastic cover.
6. Transplant the seedling once the “true leaves” have
emerged.
7. Gently remove the seedling from the seedbox.
8. Transplant seedling in the garden plot.
9. Water the seedling.
10.Maintain the allowable distance between
seedlings.
11. Cover seedling with sheath.
Row planting
It is a system of growing crops in a linear
pattern in at least one direction rather than
planting without any distinct arrangement.

The Advantages of Row Planting

1. 1. Light exposure is maximized.
2. 2. Wind passage along the inter- rows is
enhanced.
3. 3. Accessibility and mobility for plant
care and inspection.
4. 4. Visibility is enhanced.
5. 5. Calculating or counting the plant
population in each farm area is easy.
 Row Planting Arrangement
Sole
Cropping/Monocropping
1. It is the agricultural practice of
growing a single crop year after
year on the same land.
2. It allows farmers to have
consistent crops throughout their
entire farm.
Multiple Cropping
1. It is the practice of growing two or more
crops on the same land in the same growing
seasons instead of one crop.
2. It can take the form of double-cropping,
where a second crop is planted after the first
has been harvested. It can also be in the
form of relay cropping, where the second
crop is started amidst the first crop before
it has been harvested.
Sole cropping/Monocropping Multiple cropping
 Irrigation
It is the system of controlled and
scheduled water distribution to the
entire field.

Functions of Irrigation
1. diverting water from the water source
2. conveying it to individual fields within
the farm
3. distributing it within each field
4. providing means for measuring
5. regulating water flow
Reasons for an Irrigation Plan
 Features of an Irrigation Plan

Topographic data It pertains to the shape of the field accurately drawn

showing obstructions, features, and elevation
details.

Water source It is the location and available water supply.

capacity

Water license It is an authorization to use the water source

as recommended and allowed by the local
government.
Soil and crop It helps the management of the irrigation as
characteristics crops differ water needs from one another.

Design data It pertains to all mathematical considerations

worked out in the materialization of the
irrigation plan, such as irrigation intervals, the
set time, application rate and net amount
applied in the field.

Design It pertains to the data that will be used in the

parameters construction of the irrigation design.
Irrigation Water Management
 Irrigation Design Description
1. Surface irrigation Water is applied to the field in either the controlled
or uncontrolled manner.
a. Furrow irrigation Only a part of the land surface (the furrow) is
watered thus minimizing evaporation loss.

b. Border irrigation Controlled surface flooding is practiced where the

field is divided into strips by parallel ridges or dikes
or each strip is irrigated separately by introducing
water upstream and it progressively covers the
entire strip.

c. Basin irrigation Water is flooded in wider areas. It is ideal

for irrigating rice.

2. Sprinkler irrigation It conveys water through pipes and applies it with a
minimum amount of loss.

a. A. Fully portable The system is designed to be moved from one field

to another or other pumping sites that are in the
same field.

b. B. Semi-portable The system cannot be moved from field to field or

from farm to farm except when more than one
fixed pumping plant is used.

c. C. Fully The sprinkler may be permanently located

permanent or moved along the lateral.

Why is it important to learn how to
interpret farm plans and drawings?

Interpreting the farm plans and drawings helps a farm

worker become aware of the different plans laid in the
conduct of farm operations; thus, making them more
efficient to accomplish.
Instructions

1. Form groups with five members.

2. Build a farm layout with an irrigation system.
3. Use any reliable materials possible to create
your layout.
4. Present your output to the class.
