SY: 2023-2024

Wetland Tillage is Practiced for crops that are sown or planted in dry land condition having sufficient moisture for
germination of seeds. The soil is tilled in saturated or flooded condition

Land Preparation is the disturbance of the soil in preparation for establishing a crop.

Level the field facilitates uniform water and fertilizer distribution and plant maturity, management of weeds and golden
apple snails.

Secondary Tillage is a subsequent cultivation of the soil after primary tillage.

Primary Tillage is the initial cutting of the soil where crops have been grown and harvested.

Spading fork is a tool with times used to loosen the soil, dig out root crops, and turn over materials in a compost heap.

Tractor with disc plow is a farm equipment used to facilitate initial tillage operation in a wide tract of land.

We need to conduct pre - operative check - up of tools, implements and equipment before starting to work to determine
the functionality of tools and implements

it necessary to apply oil to the metal parts of tools and implements before storing them for a long period of time to prevent
them from rust

Equipment refers to a powered tool machine used in farming

Climate is average weather in a given area over a longer period of time.

Temperature is physical quantity that expresses quantitatively the perceptions of hotness and coldness.

Alkaline is another word that means the same thing as basic?

Bleach has the most acidic pH

The leaves become reddish yellow on the edges while inner part of the leaves remains green. Shows deficiency in
Potassium

Bacteria is a example biological hazard?

Farm tools are very important in agricultural crop production because they make work easier and faster thus saving time
and effort

Pick - mattock is tool with one end of its blade flattened and the other at right angle to its handle

Shovel is a tool resembles the appearance of a spoon and use for transferring soils

Crowbar Mattock Shovel are digging too

Water pump is an equipment used to draw water from a source

Electrical systems in barns, especially in older structures, are often the cause of Fire

Earmuffs is a PPE used to protect the ears from hearing injury?

Goggles is a PPE used to protect the eyes from injury?

Gloves is a PPE used to protect hands from injury?

Injuries inflicted by animals include 1. bites, 2. brushing and 3. kicks

Chemicals such as pesticides can cause injuries such as 1. burns,2. respiratory illness and 3. Poisoning

Electricity is a farm hazard includes faulty switches, cords and overhead power lines?
The following are effects of chemical exposure Poisoning, Skin rashes and irritation Nausea

Implements are accessories pulled by animals or mounted to machinery to make the work easier.

Knapsack sprayer is ideal for spraying agricultural chemicals and fertilizers on farms, greenhouses and orchards.

Weighing scale Crates is a Tool being used for weighing harvests and fertilizer.

The first step in reducing the cause of an accident is to assess the risk associated with the hazard.

Heat, cold radiation, Floors, stairs, ladder, Excessively loud and prolonged noise is an example of a physical hazard?

PPE is designed to protect workers from serious workplace injuries and illness.

The potential for harm, or adverse effect on an employee’s health is known as Hazard

Safety A sound state of the body and mind of workers that enable him/her to perform the job.

The level of Risk increases with the severity of the hazard and the duration and frequency of exposure.

Zero Tillage is when soil structure is not disturbed & all soil microorganisms remain intact, the soil is also not prone to
erosion and the cost of production is reduced.

Minimum tillage Referred to as traditional tillage process.

When driving tractors and equipment on roads, 1. Use escort vehicles and 2. Display the slow-moving vehicle sign

transporter of materials machine to pull/carry another machine way to transport coworkers and friends are the purpose
for a tractor

To prevent injuries involving power take-off shafts (PTO) 1. Make sure all PTO shields are in place and in good
condition. 2. Never step over a PTO while it is running, even if it is shielded. 3. Do not wear jewelry or loose
clothing, and tie long hair back so these items cannot come into contact with any part of the PTO.

the steps on a tractor platform should be clean 1. So your tractor looks great 2. To help prevent slip/fall injuries 3.
So your co-workers can safely ride on them

Hand Signal were developed to provide an easy means of communication, particularly in the interest of safety.

Soil Commonly referred to as earth is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together
support life of plants

Steps in collecting soil sample 1. soil samples were gathered and collected 2. Samples were dried out at a well air-
ventilation 3. samples were the pulverize. 4. soil samples were now pass through sieve to remove large particle 5.
Soil sample were ready to be packed and to be tested.

Soil pH indicates of the acidity or alkalinity of soil

Soil analysis is the conduct of soil tests are those done to estimate the plant-available concentrations of plant nutrients,
in order to determine fertilizer recommendations in agriculture.

500 grams are required for soil testing?
