Introductory Message!

Welcome to TLE 7/8 AFA – (Crop Production)!

The TLE 7/8 – AFA (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 7/8 – AFA (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 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production) Learning Activity Sheet will help
you facilitate the leaching-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 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production) Learning 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.

II. Background Information for Learners

Estimation is the technique of calculating or computing various
quantities and expected expenses to be allotted in a specific project.
As a farmer, you need to know how to estimate and calculate farm
inputs and labor requirements in the operation of your farm in order to
prepare the needed budget.
Having the needed skills in doing estimate ensure the farmer a
productive harvest at a minimum cost.

Procedures in Reporting Farm Estimates

There are procedures we need to follow in reporting the estimate of farm
inputs, materials and resources. The procedures are the following:

Have a meeting with Determine the owner’s Find out the

the farm owner plan to his farm estimation farm

If the owner made Submit the result to Estimate the farm

changes on it have a the owner inputs

What are farm inputs?

Farm inputs are important materials needed in agricultural crop production. It is

important to identify the number or amount of farm inputs needed to minimize the
unnecessary expenses and to maximize profit. Refer to K-12 BEC TLE – Crop
Production Learning Material pp. 40

Seeds – ripened ovules of plants used for sowing

Fertilizers – are any materials or substances added to the soil

to support nutrients and increased fertility of the soil

Insecticides – are used to kill insects.

Farm Labor – these are labor requirements for land preparation, planting and
transplanting of seedlings, plant care, application of fertilizer, weeding, irrigation,
pest control, harvesting and post-harvest activities. (Refer to K-12 BEC TLE – Crop
Production Learning Material pp. 41-43)

Estimating Farm Inputs and Labor Requirements

In estimating farm supplies, it is important to know the condition of the farm

such as the area of land and the needed farm inputs in order to estimate the budget
and to allocate budget correctly.

Example:
Mang Lito has 3 hectares of rice field. In order for him to estimate the needed
farm inputs, he lists down all the needed materials and labor requirements for the
whole production.
Note:
100 kg/ha. of seeds are needed for transplanting method
150 kg/ha. of seeds are needed for direct method
After noting down all the necessary farm inputs, he can now write the amount
for every input. Then, add the amount and he have now the estimated budget of his
farm inputs.

Calculation of Farm Inputs and Labor Requirements

Estimating cost of farm inputs

1. Needed seeds per hectare
Formula:
Total kilo of seeds = kilogram of seeds x area of land

Note:
1 hectare is equivalent to 10, 000 m2 (square meter)
100 kg/ha. of seeds needed for transplanting method
150 kg/ha. of seeds needed for direct method

Given:
Mang Lito has 3 hectares of rice field. He is planning to used direct seeding. How
many kilograms of seeds does he need? How much it cost?

Computation:
Total kilo of seeds = kilogram of seeds x area of land
= 150 kg x 3 hectares
= 450 kg
Using the formula below, determine the total price of seeds to be used.
Given:
Formula:
P25.00 per kilo of seeds
Total seed price = Price of seeds per kilo x total of seeds needed per
Mang Lito has 3 hectares
hectare
Computation:
Total seed price = Price of seeds per kilo x total of seeds needed per
hectare
= P 25.00/kilo x 450 kilo
= P 11, 250.00

2. Total amount of fertilizers needed

Formula:
Total amount of fertilizer = amount
6 of fertilizers x number of kilograms used
Example
Given:
Triple 14 ( 14-14-14 ) unit price per kilo is P 30.00
The amount of 14-14-14 needed in fertilizing plants is 220 kilograms

Computation:
Total amount of fertilizer = amount of fertilizers x number of kilograms used
= P 30.00 x 220
= P 6, 600.00

Estimating Labor Requirements

3. Total amount of salary paid during land preparation

Formula:
Total amount of salary = No. of days labored x No. of worker x amount of
salary/worker

Given:
No. of days labored is 2 days
No. of worker is 2
The amount of salary per worker per day is P 250.00

Computation:
Total amount of salary = No. of days labored x No. of worker x amount of
salary/worker
= 2 x 2 x P 250.00
= P 1, 000.00

4. Total amount of salary during planting

Formula:
Total amount of salary = No. of days labored x No. of worker x amount of
salary/worker

Given:
No. of days labored is 4 days
No. of worker is 3
The amount of salary per worker per day is P 250.00

Computation:
Total amount of salary=No. of days labored x No. of worker x
amount of salary/worker
= 4 x 3 x P 250.00
= P 3, 000.00

Formula:
Total amount of salary = No. of days labored x No. of worker x amount of
salary/worker

5. Total amount of salary in applying fertilizer

Given:
No. of day labored is 1 day
No. of worker is 5
7
 The amount of salary per worker per day is P 280.00
Computation:
Total amount of salary =No. of days labored x No. of worker x
amount of salary/worker
= 1 x 5 x 250
= P 1, 250.00
6. Total amount of salary during spraying of pesticides
Formula:
Total amount of salary = salary of worker per day x total no. of days

Given:
Salary is P 250.00 per day
Total no. of days worked is 1

Computation:
Total amount of salary = salary of worker per day x total no. of
days
= P250.00 x 1
= P250.00

7. Total amount of salary during weeding

Formula:
Total amount of salary = salary of worker per day x total no. of worker

Given:
Salary is P 250.00 per day
Total no. of worker is 7

Computation:
Total amount of salary = salary of worker per day x no. of
worker
= P250.00 x 7
= P1, 750.00
8. Estimated cost of pesticide used for spraying
Formula:
Total amount of salary = cost of pesticide per bottle x no. of pesticide/hectare x land
area

Note:
Land area is measured using square meter (m2)
10, 000 m2 is equal to 1 hectare

Given:
Price of pesticide per bottle is p 350.00
No. of bottle to be used per hectare is 1.5
The total number of area of land is 2.6 hectare

Computation:
Total amount of salary = cost of pesticide per bottle x no. of
pesticide/hectare x land area
= 350 x 1.5 x 2.6
= P 1, 365.00

8
 9.
Formula:
Irrigation expenses = price of water per volume x no. of volume x total no. of days

Estimated irrigation cost from planting to harvesting

Note:
Volume is the content of body or object measured in cubic meter (m3)
Can be calculated by the formula length x width x height ( l x w x h)
Given:
The price of water is P15.00 per m3
The total volume of water used during irrigation is 125 m3
The total no. of days of irrigation is 5 days

Computation:
Irrigation expenses = price of water per volume x no. of volume x total no.
of days
= 15 m3 x 125 m3 x 5
= 1,875 x 5
= 9, 375.00
10. Worker’s salary during harvesting of products
Formula:
Salary = salary of worker per day x total no. of workers x No. of days of harvesting

Given:
Salary per day of worker is P250.00
Total no. of worker is 3
Total no. of days harvesting is 2 days

Computation:
Salary = salary of worker per day x total no. of workers x no. of days
of harvesting
= 250.00 x 3 x 2
= P 1, 500.00
