9. Direct method
Plants are planted directly when
seeds which had been previously
prepared are directly drilled into the
soil.
Example : okra, squash, mongo, and
bitter gourd or ampalaya.
10. Indirect Method
is done when the seeds are allowed to
grow first in seed boxes or seed beds and
are then transplanted when the conditions
for the growth and development of the
seedlings are favorable.
Example: cabbage,eggplants, tomatoes,
pechay, bell peppers and onion.
11. Asexual Method
Planting uses the vegetative parts of the
plant, such as the leaves, stems and roots
are used. This type of planting assures that
the quality of the new offspring is the same
as the parent plant.
Example: malunggay, kangkong, alugbati,
and sweet potato or kamote
12. Transplanting of Seedlings
1. “Punla” is commonly used term pertaining to
seedlings prepared for transplanting.
2. Seedlings are ready for transplanting when they
have grown three to four pair of leaves.
3. Necessary preparations must be done before
transplanting so that plants will not be damaged
during the process of transplanting.
13. Transplanting of Seedlings
4. Transplanting seedlings must be done in the late
afternoon to prevent them from being exposed to
too much heat of the sunlight.
5. Following the proper steps in transplanting
seedlings must be observed to ensure high survival
rate of the growing plants.
6. Handle the seedlings with utmost care when

14. 1. Practice clean culture. Always clean the surroundings and get rid of
weeds and grasses at regular schedules.
2. Choose disease-resistant varieties. Choose and plant the varieties that are proven to be resistant to most
plant diseases.
3. Collect and burn diseased parts of plants.
4. Disinfect the soil before planting or transplanting.
5. Control the infestation of insects which are carriers of causal organisms.
6. Practice crop rotation so that the life cycle of pathogens is discontinued.
Crop rotation is a system of farming in which a piece of land is planed with
different crops in succession in order to improve the fertility of the soil and
to control crop pests and diseases.
7. Apply chemicals which can somehow reduce the damages if not totally
control the disease.
