pictures of information given, so in order for
this kind of learner to retain information,
oral or written, presentations of new
information must contain diagrams and
drawings, preferably in color. The visual
learner can't concentrate with a lot of activity
around him and will focus better and learn
faster in a quiet study environment.

A. INTRODUCTION
The vegetable industry is one of the major sources of livelihood for millions of Filipino farmers and businessmen. It is
a good source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, B, C, Iron as well as protein and dietary fiber for the right
nutrition or food for the body. Extensive cropping and long-term application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides & other inputs
in vegetable plantation have resulted to soil degradation and nutrient depletion. With this condition, land area devoted to
vegetable production have poor soil quality with a characteristic of low soil organic matter, acidic and low levels of macro
and micro nutrients. In response to these challenges, the Department of Agriculture under the Organic Agriculture Program
(OA) promotes the use of organic fertilizer that is fully decomposed at stable temperature with no foul smell. Poverty and
increase of population may cause hunger and lack of food. But if the people will be empowered to produce and consume
vegetables it would solve the malnutrition problem in the countryside

Session plan is a guide/a training tool for the trainer not a script that provides a focus for the training, a reminder for
the trainer of the key points to undertake and provides a record of the training if it's to be used again. Preparing,
implementing, evaluating such brought focus to a trainer on the” what”, the “how” and the “why” of the training. Upon doing
such, things are getting clearer and someway, somehow makes the trainer internalize, had motivated the trainer to love
more and to promote the advocacy of organic farming.

E. Recommendation
Trainees should read every single detail to be guided properly, motivated to put into practice so trainers can facilitate
as s/he monitors closely while trainees perform the tasks/actualize the process, apply principles to meet the competency
standards.

Steps in Preparing the Land

2.1 Land Preparation

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. identify and follow the steps in preparing the land;
2. implement process in preparing the land;
3. operate a tillage tractor.

Introduction: The purpose of land preparation is to provide the


necessary soil conditions which will enhance the successful establishment
of the young offshoots or the tissue culture plants
received from the nursery

Land development is the costliest preparation in


farming. It involves jungle clearance, soil opening
with deep tillage equipment, moving soil from high
to low spots, making farm roads, field bunding and
levelling, etc. These operations require use of self-propelled and heavy
equipment such as crawler tractors with heavy duty ploughs and dozers,
high horsepower tractors with dozing arid hoeing attachment, scrapers,
ditchers, chisel ploughs, subsoilers, terracers, levellers etc.

Land preparation depends on the area, this involves either heavy or


light cultivation of the soil and clearing the area of weeds and other existing
vegetation and obstructions to facilitate operations like staking and
placement of nuts. The purpose of land preparation is to provide the
necessary soil conditions which will enhance the successful establishment
of the young offshoots or the tissue. It typically involves.

The tillage operations, defined as mechanical manipulation of soil, are


performed to achieve the desired seedbed to provide optimum environment
for seed germination and plant growth. Seedbed preparation for sowing /
planting of different crops is done through primary and secondary tillage
operations.

Mechanical field preparation

The mechanical or initial soil preparation concerns mainly the


preparation of a field for further detailed preparation such as irrigation
system installation, hole preparation, etc. Actions, if applicable to the area,
include:

1. Clearing
Land preparation starts with removal of shrubs and stumps. Clear
the selected area of everything you don’t need and remove weeds ( by hoe,
weed wacker, brushing cutlass); remove undesirable materials; do not
remove by burning ( as this destroys organic matter, kills of beneficial soil
organisms and results in soil erosion)
2. Plowing
To till or dig-up, mix, and overturn the soil or removal of stones
3. Harrowing
To break the soil clods into smaller mass and incorporate plant
residue,
4. Leveling
To smoothen the soil with a broom rake. Then drag the rake (tines up)
to create "furrows" for this reseeding lawn jobs.
In all ecologies land preparation ends up with final operation that
adequately levels the field. Levelling is done to ensure fair distribution of
water across the field.

The roots of weeds are just waiting to sprout along with the
crops. Tilling breaks apart the established weeds and forces them to start
anew, making it much easier to control them. Tilling also aerates the soil,
which many believe is beneficial to crop growth.
The land is then ploughed using hand hoes such as jembe/panga,
oxen or tractors. Power and equipment are required for tillage in different
soil types are varied. It is essential to plough when land is dry to reduce
weeds. However in difficult soils such as virgin lands there may be need to
wet the field before ploughing. It is generally recommended that two ploughs
and one harrow or rotovation are sufficient for soil disturbance long before
planting to establish a fine tilth. Fine tilth improves germination reduces
seeding rate and improves seedling uptake in irrigated ecologies. Ensure soil
surface is level to enhance water application by irrigation. The field requires
adequate drainage system to allow rapid removal of excess water. However,
land preparation will vary according to cropping system used. Three main
rice ecologies (Irrigated, Rainfed lowland and Rainfed Upland) require
different land preparation techniques.

rotary cultivator, and can also be used to assist haulage tools or trailers for
transportation operations.

A pre-operational check of the tractor will assure you that it is in safe


operating condition. Check the tires for proper inflation and defects,
windows for visibility, seat position, seat belts, brakes for adjustment,
steering response, rear view mirrors, slow-moving vehicle emblem,
reflectors, and running lights for day or night time operation.
Safety Check: Walk around the tractor and any attached implement
checking the area for obstacles that may be under or near the tractor. This
includes stones, boards, children's toys etc. Make sure there are no
bystanders; remember this is a work area. Check that the wheels are free,
not frozen or stuck in the ground. If the rear wheels are frozen to the
ground, then the tractor may flip backwards around the axle when power is
applied. Check for any loose parts or objects on the tractor such as tools on
the platforms or around brakes and other controls.
Service Walkaround: Walk around the tractor a second time to check the
tractor itself. This time look at the tires for wear and inflation, the power
takeoff shaft for shielding and guarding (rotate the shield to make sure it
moves freely), the hitch for proper hitch pin and safety clip. Pay particular
attention to the ground under the tractor for any signs of liquid leaks such
as oil, coolant or fuel.
Check the oil: Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and check the oil level. If
oil is required, remember to wipe off the filler cap before you remove it to
avoid dirt falling into the engine. Use a clean funnel and clean the top of
the oil can to prevent rust or other foreign objects going in with the oil.
Check the radiator: Slowly remove the red cap and check the liquid level.
Check the air pre-cleaner and air cleaner. Remove and shake out any
dirt.
Check the fuel level. Fill if necessary, but it should have been filled at the
end of the last day the tractor was used.
Check the fire extinguisher. Your tractor should have a fire extinguisher
in case of fire during operation or refueling. Make sure it is charged and
easily accessible.
Starting and stopping the Tractor
1. provide adequate ventilation
2. star the tractor from the operator’s flatform
3. check the power take off controls
4. start the engine
5. allow engine to warm
6. make sure that there is proper oil pressure, that the battery is charging

Hole preparation

The actual digging of the hole is one of the last actions


before planting takes place, but it must be emphasized
that this is not the final preparation for the planting
operation itself. This is the point where the required
inputs such as gypsum and organic materials are
worked into the soil and a start is made with the leaching programe. The

Revision # 01
reason why the leaching is only applied at this stage is because of the
relatively small area that is occupied by the date palm. If the total area had
to be leached, it would become very costly with little or no benefit in the long
run.

It is recommended that a hole of 1 m³ be prepared and that the soil


from the hole be mixed with the organic material and gypsum (Figures 56
and 57). The soil mix is then put back into the hole, where after the site is
clearly marked for positioning of the small date palm plants.

At this stage, once the hole has been prepared and closed, it is
irrigated and a leaching program implemented. The water supply will then
enhance the leaching of excessive salts and contribute to the fermentation
process of the organic material. Subsequent irrigation, several times (2 to 3)
before planting, will also allow the mixed soil to settle in the hole.

In most soils, the early and rapid growth of the date plant is better
when the holes are prepared one to two months before planting. Well-rotted
manure can also be used in holes prepared and irrigated shortly before
planting, but extreme care must be taken to put the manure (and fertilisers)
deep enough to allow a layer of soil at least 15 to 20 cm thick to be placed
between the manure and the roots of the date plant.

Steps in preparing the land for planting

Step 1
• Determine the Soil Type (Sandy, Clay, Loam)

Step 2
• Clear the selected area of everything you don’t need (remove weeds by hoe,
weed wacker, brushing cutlass; remove undesirable materials. Do not
remove by burning as this destroys organic matter, kills of beneficial soil
organisms and results in soil erosion.
Step 3 • Observed the drainage pattern of the area cleared (this helps
determine the orientation of the beds and prevent soil erosion?

Step 4 • Prepare the planting area to ensure adequate drainage, aeration


and space for root growth

Step 5
Determine if you are planting in individual holes or on beds
• Individual Holes (make a Planting hole, add and mix sharp sand, organic
matter and limestone to the soil removed from the planting hole, and place
the mixture in the planting hole)
• Beds (prepare the planting area by tilling or loosening the soil, spread the
mixture of sharp sand, organic matter, and limestone evenly over the entire
area and incorporate in the soil, form beds- size of beds depends on the crop

chosen and the bed can be any length but should allow you to reach the

Step 6 • Make drains at least 20 cm deep to allow excess run –off water
from the beds to flow into the main drains

Step 7 • Plant your seedling or sapling

INFORMATION SHEET 2.2-2

Introducing micro-organism before transplanting

Learning Objectives: After reading the INFORMATION SHEET 2.2-2, the


trainees will be able to:

1.define microorganism;
2. identify the major groups of microorganisms; and
3. discuss the importance of keeping and propagating microorganism in the
area

Introduction

A microorganism, or microbe, is an organism of microscopic size,


which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells. The possible
existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as
in Jain scriptures from sixth century

The major groups of microorganisms—namely (1) bacteria, (2)


archaea, (3) fungi (yeasts and molds), (4) algae, (5) protozoa, and (6)
viruses

Bacteria, eubacteria and archaea

Microbiology came into being largely through studies of bacteria. The


experiments of Louis Pasteur in France, Robert Koch in Germany, and
others in the late 1800s established the importance of microbes to humans.
As stated in the Historical background section, the research of these
scientists provided proof for the germ theory of disease and the germ theory
of fermentation. It was in their laboratories that techniques were devised for
the microscopic examination of specimens, culturing (growing) microbes in
the laboratory, isolating pure cultures from mixed-culture populations, and
many other laboratory manipulations. These techniques, originally used for
studying bacteria, have been modified for the study of all microorganisms—
hence the transition from bacteriology to microbiology.

The organisms that constitute the microbial world are characterized


as either prokaryotes or eukaryotes; all bacteria are prokaryotic—that is,
single-celled organisms without a membrane-bound nucleus.
Their DNA (the genetic material of the cell), instead of being contained in the
nucleus, exists as a long, folded thread with no specific location within the
cell. They are the transformer of matter and material.

Fungi

A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that


includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more
familiar mushrooms and can be single celled or very complex multicellular
organisms. They are found in just about any habitat but most live on the
land, mainly in soil

Protozoa

Protozoa is an informal term for a group of single-celled eukaryotes,


either free-living or parasitic, that feed on organic matter such as other
microorganisms or organic tissues and debris.

Viruses

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside


the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and
plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.

Microorganisms are classified as autotrophs or heterotrophs based on


whether or not they require pre-formed organic matter. Autotrophs derive
energy from either light absorption (photoautotrophs) or oxidation of
inorganic molecules (chemoautotrophs). In most of the light reactions the
bacteria are fixing carbon dioxide into organic carbon, just as green plants
do. Some photosynthetic bacteria (photoheterotrophs) require pre-formed
organic matter as reducing agents, but generate ATP from the absorption of
light energy. Finally, some bacteria and fungi (heterotrophs) used pre-
formed organic matter as both a source of energy to generate ATP and as a
source of carbon for the cell, just as animals do. The following table
summarizes the classification of the ways in which microbes process energy.

Microorganisms that live in the soil are essential to life on earth.
Microbes create nutrient-like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen,
phosphorus, potassium, trace elements, vitamins and amino acids and
make them available for plant in right form for their growth and health.
Bacteria and fungi are the major decomposer on earth and crucial
component for composting and humus formation. Microbes are the key
components of soil nutrient cycling. Status of soil health and richness of
soil nutrient pool depend on structure and functions of soil microbial
community. Microbes play an important role in nutrient mobilization and
uptake. They promote plant growth and suppress disease by their various
activities. Phosphate and sulphate solubilization, plant growth promotion,
siderophore production, nitrogen fixation, denitrification, immune
modulation, signal transduction and pathogen control are some of the well-
recognized microbial mediated processes which promote the plant growth
and protect them from pests.

In conclusion, the role of microorganisms in sustainable agriculture


and environment and suggested for the promotion and use of microbial-
based formulations instead of chemical fertilizers. We also emphasized on
cultivation and preservation of agriculturally and environmentally
important but not yet cultured organisms for sustainable development in
agriculture and environment.

Fermentation processes can be separated into multiple steps,


including cultivation of the microbial production strains, removal of cells by
centrifugation or ultra filtration, separation and purification of the amino
acid product from fermented broth, evaporation and drying, and finally
wastewater treatment.

Different mulches have variable effects on soil physicochemical


characteristics, bacterial and fungal communities and ecosystem functions.
However, the information about soil microbial diversity, community
structure and ecosystem function in tea plantation under different mulching
patterns was limited. In this study, we investigated bacterial and fungal
communities of tea plantation soils under polyethylene film and peanut hull
mulching using high-throughput 16S rRNA and ITS rDNA gene Illumina
sequencing.

What is mulch?

Mao kini ang materyal nga gibutang ibabaw sa yuta nga


gitamnan para mas mapalambo pa ang pagtubo sa mga tanom niini.
Lahi-lahi ang klase sa mulch sama sa itomon o puti nga plastic, mga
uhot sa humay, dahon sa sagbot, dahon sa saging, lukay, bato, ug
uban pa.

Advantages of using mulch/Mga Bintaha sa pag-gamit ug mulch

 Makapugong kini sa ka-omogon sa yuta


 Makalikay sa pag-anod sa mga sustansya o abono nga naa sa
yuta
 Malikayan ang pagka-bantok sa yuta
 Malikayan ang pag-anod sa yuta
 Ma-kontrolar ang pag-tubo sa sagbot

The benefits of organic material were highlighted when land


preparation, as part of the plantation development, was discussed. The
mulching is done by putting a layer of organic material (e.g. wheat straw)
around the base of the palm. Mulching of the basin has the following
advantages:

- Limits water loss from the soil through evaporation;


- Prevents crust formation;
- Allows better water penetration into the soil:
- Limits weed growth around the plant; and
- Improves the humus content of the soil.

How do you apply mulch?


Aim for at least 50mm (about two inches), ideally 75mm (about
three inches). Spread the mulch evenly. Your plants need room to breathe,
so avoid applying mulch too close to plant stems or tree trunks to prevent
them waterlogging or rot setting in. Regularly keep an eye on the levels.

How to prepare the ground before mulching?


Steps to Maximize the Look of your Mulch
1. Kill Weeds: Spray all weeds with weed killer 1 to 2 weeks prior to
mulching
2. Trim Trees and Bushes
3. Clean out Mulch Beds
4. Cultivate
5. Edge Your Beds
6. Rake Smooth
7. Apply a Pre-Emergent

2.3 Transplanting seedlings

Learning Objectives: After reading the INFORMATION SHEET 2.2-3, the


learners will be able to:

1. handle seedlings from a seedling tray to a plot form properly; and


2. transplant seedlings following the prescribed procedures.

Introduction:

Steps in transplanting seedlings

1. Prepare a hole in well fertilized soil.

2. Place your hand over the soil allowing the seedling stem to come between
your fingers not leaving too much of a gap - we don't want to lose it's
original soil- and squeeze the bottom of the seedling pot to loosen the soil
and the roots from the inner walls.

3. Seedlings should be hardened-off, well-fed and watered before


transplanting. Prepare a weed-free surface. Loosen and aerate garden soil by
tilling or hoeing.
4. Carefully remove seedling from its container. Try not to disturb the roots.
5. Set seedling in hole level with soil surface. The exception is tomato
seedlings, which can be transplanted a bit deeper.
6. Feed seedling to kick start growth. Transplant each seedling with a hefty
handful of compost. If you don’t make compost, purchase specially
formulated fertilizer for transplanting.
7. Surround seedling with displaced soil.
8. Water seedling thoroughly.
9. Mulch seedling to maintain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
10. Keep area weed-free.

1. Plant spacing

It is difficult to prescribe a definite plant spacing but there are specific


factors influencing the spacing such as:

- to allow for sufficient sunlight when palms are tall;


- to allow for sufficient working space within the plantation; and
- to provide sufficient space for root development.

o’clock or later in the afternoon.

3. Transplanting stage

Research has shown that the best field survival rate, as well as early
plant development, is obtained when the date tissue culture plantlets are
transplanted at the four (4) plus pinnae leaf stage. Plants received from a
tissue culture laboratory normally only have juvenile leaves or one pinnae

leaf at the most. These plants are thus too small to be transplanted into the
field. It is therefore necessary to include a hardening-off phase for plant
development which also allows some time for plants to adapt to local
climatic conditions. This results in the young plants being kept in the farm
nursery for a period, until the sufficient number of pinnae leaves have
developed before transplanting takes place.

Pagbalhin sa Lalongon ngadto sa Garden (Transplanting)

 Ang pagbalhin sa lalongon ngadto sa garden pagahimoon sa


hapon o kung di na kayo init ang adlaw. Kung alimoon ang
panahon, pwede ra himoon ang pagbalhin bisan unsang orasa.
 Likayi ang pag-“transplant” sa gulang na nga lalongon. Kini
tungod kay kasagaran, mahulog ang unang mga bulak niini ug
gamay ra ang ma-ani niini.

Straight Rows. Planting straight rows is much more than a matter of


farmer pride. Whether rows are planted by hand, by push seeder, or a
tractor-mounted planter, it is essential to make those rows straight.
Straight rows are much easier and faster to weed than crooked rows. It
is difficult if not impossible to use cultivation equipment to weed a field
of crooked rows, and even hoeing is much faster when rows are even and
straight.

Row Markers. Rows should be evenly spaced as well as straight. There


are a number of ways to mark rows and keep them evenly spaced. Most
push seeders will have an adjustable row marker. For transplants on a
small scale, a row- marking rake or a push seeder without seeds can be
used to mark rows. Some growers use home-made rolling dibblers, either
pushed by hand or mounted on a tractor.

Spacing for Good Weed Management. Set up your plant spacing for
seeding and transplanting in a way that will make it easier to manage
weeds later. Match up the spacing of the weeding tools you will be using
(for example, 8-inch wheel hoe, 5-inch hula hoe, or mechanical
cultivators) with row spacing. Choose a few plant spacings that work
well with your equipment and don't vary them. This will save time
adjusting equipment or finding the right sized hoe.

Check the Seeder. No matter which seeder you use, it is worth the time
to check and make sure it is functioning properly. Seed tubes can clog
up, plates can stop picking up seeds, or the spacing can be wrong. Lift
the seeder and turn the drive wheel a few times to make sure seed is

dropping down freely. It is also a good idea to go back over a row that
has been planted, dig up a few seeds, and check to make sure they are
being placed at the proper depth and spacing.

4. Planting time and depth

Planting should always be initiated early in the morning to limit stress


on the date plantlets and also to allow sufficient time for adaptation (from
the plastic bag to the soil). Bags are to be removed with care and the plant,
with most of its surrounding substrate, to be planted carefully.

Planting is probably the area where most people make the vital
mistake of planting the plant too deep. The planting depth is critical because
the "heart" of the plant should never be covered with water. Once the plant
is covered with water the growing point rots and the plant dies off. If a date
plant is planted too shallow, its roots will desiccate and die.

The golden rule is to ensure that the greater diameter of the bulb of
the plant is at the same level as the soil surface after transplanting and to
ensure that water does not go over the top of the date plant.

5. Basin preparation

Immediately after transplanting, a basin is prepared around the palm


to prevent run-off and to ensure a suffi cient supply of water to the plant.
When using a micro irrigation system, it is recommended to have a basin of
approximately 3 m in diameter and 20 to 30 cm deep. The basin should
have a slight downward slope towards the plant to allow the water to reach
the root system of the young plant.

INFORMATION SHEET 2.2-4

2.4 Water transplanted seedlings


Learning Objectives:
After reading INFORMATION SHEET 2.2-4, the trainees will be able to:
1. supply enough of water to plants;
2. establish plants in their new homes via their roots growing into the
surrounding soil and by forming symbiotic relationships with various
microorganisms in the soil;
3. feed and protect them and get fed via the plants’ root exudates in return.

Introduction
As the plant grows, water carries nutrients throughout the plant.
Water is responsible for several important functions within plant tissues.
Water is necessary for photosynthesis, which is how plants use energy from
the sun to create their own food. Immediately after you put your transplants
into their final spots in your garden, water them heavily in order to: Make
sure their roots are making contact with the soil they were just transplanted
into, and. Be sure that both the roots and the soil are nice and moist to
encourage the roots to grow into the new soil.

Irrigation

Immediately after transplanting, the plants should be irrigated to limit


transplant stress. Once the plantation is established, a frequent irrigation
schedule is to be followed to allow sufficient water supply to the young date
palm.

The irrigation frequency, is soil type dependent, but on very sandy
soils it requires daily irrigation during the first summer. Heavy soils will
require irrigation once a week, while in most soils, irrigation is required
every second or third day. During the first six weeks, the date growers
should inspect their planted date to verify that the surface soil does not dry
and shrink away from the plant.

Transplants planted into the field will experience some level of


transplant shock. The goal is to minimize this transplant shock and get
plants growing as soon as possible. Key to minimizing transplant shock
is starting with transplants that are well watered, and supplying more
water immediately after transplanting. Avoid transplanting into dry soil.

Even when planting into moist soils, newly planted seedlings need
additional water. This can be accomplished by adding water to the
transplant hole as the plants are set in, or by irrigating immediately
after transplanting a field. When placing seedlings down in the planting
hole in the field, ensure that the top of the root ball is completely
covered with field soil. If the root ball is exposed, it will dry out very
quickly and the seedling will not thrive. At this stage, overhead
irrigation is more effective than drip irrigation, because the plant roots
will be too far away from the drip lines. A gentle rainfall is also welcome
after transplanting a field.

Pagpatubig

Kanunay bubo-an ang mga tanom labi na sa tag-init. Kinahanglan dili


pundohan ug tubig ang garden lami na sa tag-ulan.

TIP:

Limitahe ang pagpatubig sa watermelon, honeydew ug muskmelon kung


ang mga bunga dagko na ug padulong na sa pagka-hinog.

Water plants regularly.


1. Stick your finger in the soil up to your 2nd knuckle to see how wet it is; if
your finger comes back dry, you need to water your plant. ...
2. Always use warm water for your plants, as cold water can shock the roots
and cause damage to the plant.
3. Give your plants a deep watering about once a month.
Five (5) Basic Needs of Plants
Plants, like all living things, have basic needs that must be met for
them to survive. These needs include: light, air, water, a source of nutrition,
space to live and grow and optimal temperature.

Tissue culture-derived plants and young offshoots should be protected
from harsh climatic conditions (sun and wind during the first summer and
cold the following winter) and against some animals (rabbits, etc.). The use
of a hessian wrapping, a shade net cover, or a tent of date leaves is
recommended. The top is to be left open so that new growth may push out.

Aftercare

Beside irrigation applications, the annual fertilisation schedule,


weeding and mulching, the date grower should keep an eye on the
plantation in order to detect and consequently correct any adverse
situations.

Pag-abono/Fertilizing

 Human sa pagtanum ge rekomendar nga sprayhan ug IMO ug

Answer Key 2.2-4

1. No, so as not to shock the roots and cause damage to the plants
2. Aside from the regular application and proper irrigation, regular and
appropriate fertilization schedule, weeding and mulching, the date grower
should, for at least the first 10 to 12 months, keep an eye on the plantation
in order to detect and consequently correct any adverse situations

3. Water the newly field transplanted plants so as not to shock the roots
Supply more water immediately after transplanting to establish in
their new abode
Avoid transplanting into dry soil

4. Too much water. Garden plants need aerobic soil conditions (e.g. oxygen
to be present). They also need relationships with aerobic bacteria, aerobic
fungi, and other oxygen-dependent microbes to live.
When you overwater plants, the soil gets soggy, which
creates anaerobic conditions. This means that oxygen can’t reach the plants’
roots, aerobic microorganisms start dying, and anaerobic bacteria start
proliferating. Eventually, this causes the plant’s roots to rot and your plant
to die. (*In hydroponic systems, plants form “water roots,” which are a
different type of root than soil roots. Also, hydroponic systems keep the water
in motion in order to maintain oxygen flow and nutrient flow over the water.

5. Immediately after you put your transplants into their final spots in your
garden, water them heavily in order to make sure their roots are making
contact with the soil they were just transplanted into, and that both the
roots and the soil are nice and moist to encourage the roots to grow into the
new soil. The root ball of your seedlings isn’t sticking out from the soil or
they will wick moisture up and out of the soil, and quickly dry out.
Generally speaking, you want your transplants to be buried in their new
soil up to the same level they were in your seed trays.

❑ ❑
Answer:
15 cm in between hills and 20cm in between rows
2. Why is it necessary to water and how much amount of water
be put in the newly transplanted seedlings?
Answer: newly transplanted seedlings must be heavily watered ❑ ❑
so as not to shock the roots for the new environment
3. Why is it necessary to hold the leaves of the seedlings upon
transplanting?
Answer: ❑ ❑
The seedling be held on their leaves so as not to destroy the soft
stem of the seedlings
4. Why is it needed for seedlings to have 2-3 true leaves before
transplanting?
Answer: ❑ ❑
They provide photosynthesis as the plant grows because when it
four leaves, it becomes too large and the leaves are hardened off
Safety Questions
5. Why is it necessary to follow the CODE provided in the

No. Destroy first the contaminants by incineration; encouraging
natural organisms in the soil to break them down; or adding
material to the soil to encapsulate the contaminants
8. Why do cucurbits, alliums, solanaceous and crucifiers differ
in their distances and positions in planting? ❑ ❑
Answer: They have different characteristics (size, length etc)
Contingency Questions
9. What does agriculture sustainability mean?
❑ ❑
Answer
In the context of agriculture, sustainability refers to the
successful management of agricultural resources to satisfy
human needs while at the same time maintaining or enhancing
the quality of the environment and conserving natural resources
for future generations. Sustainability in organic farming must
therefore be seen in a holistic sense, which includes ecological,
economic and social aspects.
10. What is social sustainability?
❑ ❑
Answer
Social sustainability is also about equity among and between
generations. Organic agriculture contributes to the social well-
being by reducing the losses of arable soil, water contamination,
biodiversity erosion, GHG emissions, food losses, and pesticide
poisoning.
11. Cite an approach or practice usually involve a lot of
learning and intensive observation of crop development, and ❑ ❑
dynamics of pests, diseases and natural enemies
Answer
Stop using high input external fertilizer, instead, use in-farm
compost and green manure
12. In a very warm and dry climate, losses of water through
transpiration from plants and evaporation from soils are high, ❑ ❑
any suggestion can be done to plant to yield much fruit?
Answer
The key to increasing crop productivity lies in protecting the soil
from strong sun and wind and increasing the supply of organic
matter and water to the soil. Soil organic matter can either be
increased through compost or through cultivation of green
manure crops. In the case of compost production the challenge
is to increase production of plant biomass, which is needed for
compost production

A recent review of organic farming listed several challenges
facing organic agriculture (Halberg et al. 2005a) including:
• ecological justice; • animal welfare; • fair trade; • supply chain
development; • productivity limitations; and • regional
adaptation and global harmonization for standards
16. Is there a need to practice organic farming?
❑ ❑
Answer
YES, for organic agriculture reduces non-renewable energy use
by decreasing agrochemical needs (these require high quantities
of fossil fuel to be produced). Organic agriculture contributes to
mitigating the greenhouse effect and global warming through its
ability to sequester carbon in the soil
Rules and Regulations
❑ ❑
17. What makes organic food organic?
❑ ❑
Answer
“Organic” must consist of a minimum of 95% organically
produced ingredients, excluding water and salt, and the
remaining ingredients must consist of nonagricultural
substances approved on the National List, and/or specific non-
organically produced agricultural substances
18. What requirements do organic products have to meet?
❑ ❑
Answer
Organic products must be produced using agricultural
production practices that foster resource cycling, promote
ecological balance, maintain and improve soil and water quality,
minimize the use of synthetic materials, and conserve
biodiversity.

19. What are organic standards?
❑ ❑
Answer
Organic standards is a labeling term that indicates that the food
or other agricultural product has been produced through
approved methods. The organic standards describe the specific
requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited
certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic

20. Which of the following is allowed in organic farming?


❑ ❑
Answer
Organic standards are designed to allow the use of naturally-
occurring substances while prohibiting or strictly limiting
synthetic substances. For instance, naturally-occurring
pesticides such as pyrethrin and rotenone are permitted, while
synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are generally prohibited.

The table shows that the t Stat is equal to 5.46. This is the
mean difference between the posttest and pretest scores. The p-value
is 0.00008 which is less than .05 which means that the test scores
are significantly different. Mean posttest scores are therefore higher
than pretest scores.
