At the end of the lesson the students
are expected to:
• Identify the importance of planting
and propagating trees and fruit
trees
 Objectives
• Enumerate the benefits derived from
planting trees and fruit bearing trees to
families and communities.
• Value the importance of planting and
propagating trees and fruit tress
Introduction to Plant
Propagation
 Plant Propagation

• Plant propagation is a process of

reproducing, increasing, multiplying,
or creating new plant species or
seedlings.
 Plant Propagation

• It is an important part of gardening,

and plant propagation is a method of
growing new plants from seeds or
existing parts of plants.
 Plant Propagation

and plant propagation is a method of

existing parts of plants.
 Importance of Plant Propagation

Plant propagation is important and is

performed for the following reasons:
• It increases the number of plant species
• It produces plant varieties that are resistant to
some pests and diseases.
 Importance of Plant Propagation

• It helps avert the extinction of some plant

species.
• To produce varieties of plants that are
suited to different types of soil and climate.
Benefits of Propagating
Trees and Fruit Trees
 Benefits of Propagating Trees and Fruit
Trees
• Trees serve as sources of food and
medicine.
• Trees remove air pollution
• Trees help relieve stress
 Benefits of Propagating Trees and Fruit
Trees
• Tree roots hold the soil together and
help prevent landslides and flashfloods
• Trees serve as habitats for wild animals
 Benefits of Propagating Trees and Fruit
Trees
• Trees serve as windbreakers during
typhoons, reducing the destruction of
homes and crops.
• Trees prevent soil erosion, which in turn
prevents river and lake sedimentation.
 Benefits of Propagating Trees and Fruit
Trees

• Trees provide fuel for cooking and

heating
• Trees provide materials for the
production of paper.
 Benefits of Propagating Trees and Fruit
Trees
• Trees help reduce the heat island effect that
urban areas experience.
 The heat island effect is a phenomenon when an
urbanized area experiences higher temperatures
than outlying areas close to them.
 Deforestation and its
Impacts on the Environment
 Deforestation

• Deforestation is the clearing, destroying, or

otherwise removal of trees by any means.
• Deforestation can occur in any area that is
densely populated by trees and other plants.
 Impacts of Deforestation

• Deforestation causes soil erosion and

desertification.
• Deforestation also makes the affected area
prone to flooding and landslides without
trees to hold the soil and retain water.
 Impacts of Deforestation

• The loss of trees also increases the amount of

greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• It also risks the extinction of plant and animal
species due to the loss of their habitat.
Marketing Seedlings and Its
importance
Marketing Seedlings and its importance

• Marketing seedlings refers to the process

of acquiring and selling of seedlings, as
well as the production, processing,
storage, and quality control of seedlings.
Marketing Seedlings and its importance

• Marketing seedlings helps secure the

variety and preserve the quality of
seedlings.
• It also helps increase the number of plant
species.
Marketing Seedlings and its importance

• Marketing seedlings also helps in

increasing the production of trees and fruit
bearing trees, and ensures the physical
condition of seedlings before they are
planted.

Synthesis
 Synthesis
Things to remember:
 Plant/Tree propagation is a method of
reproducing, increasing or multiplying
plant species.
 Synthesis
 Planting trees and fruit trees bring about a
variety of benefits, including improving
air quality, preventing flash floods and
landslides, and reduce heat in urban areas.
 Synthesis
 Deforestation is the act of removal of trees
through any means.
 Deforestation causes loss of habitat for
animals and increases the amount of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
 Synthesis
 Seedling Marketing refers to the actual
acquisition and selling of seedlings , as well
as production, processing, storage, and
quality control of seedlings.
 Synthesis
 Marketing seedlings is important for many
reasons, some of which are: securing the
variety of seedlings, preserving the quality
of seedlings, increasing the variety of plant
species, etc.

Lucas is an environmental advocate that
travels around the world looking for
endangered or threatened species of
plants and trees, acquires and produces
their seedlings and
Assignment
then sells and plants these seedlings in
places and areas where these seedlings
can grow well. Based on what has been
discussed in class, what do you think is
his reason for doing this? Explain your
answer.
