What is Plant Propagation?
Plant propagation is the process of reproducing or creating a new plant or seedling.
It is an important part of gardening, whether outdoors or indoors. Plants are living things that
grow either through their roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. It is a method of growing
new plants from seed or from parts of existing plants. Propagating trees can be sexual or
asexual. Sexual propagation is growing trees through their seeds while asexual propagation
can be done through its parts. Marcotting, grafting, air layering, budding, cutting are some
examples of asexual propagation.
How important is planting and propagating trees and fruit- bearing trees?
Planting and growing ornamental plants and vegetables have many benefits and
contributions for the family and the community. Likewise, growing of trees and fruit trees is
also important. Trees give us shade against sunlight and their roots help in controlling the
flow of rain and prevent flooding by absorbing rainwater. Moreover, the woods that came
from the trees are used for shelter, transportation, and other decorative purposes.
Though most Filipinos know that planting trees is a good hobby and leisure time
activity, planting trees and fruit – bearing trees are valuable to the family and the community
for the many products it can give. As one of the major sources of food such as fruits and nuts,
wood from trees is also a major source of fuel for heating and cooking. Likewise,
construction materials like plywood and ply board, fiber for the production of paper and pulp,
and chemicals like resin and turpentine.
Why is there a need for plant propagation?
Every year we suffer from calamities such as typhoons, floods and soil erosions.
Flash floods have killed so many people these past years and one of the major causes of
floods is deforestation or the clearing of an area of forest without replanting. Therefore,
conserving of trees, whether fruit trees, ornamental trees, shady trees or trees used for other
purposes is important. We need to plant more trees not only to prevent further damage to
nature but to make our Mother Earth a better place to live in.

Depending on the season
Trees give lots of benefits
That human can appreciate
Trees that bear fruits
To feed the hungry mouth

Trees that give the woods
And stop the floods
Trees that provide us in any ways
To suffice our needs
But all these that trees offer
Where to some has no value
Sometimes they might be the reason
For making its destruction
What we dream is an environment
Where no pollution can be seen
To achieve this, let us save trees.
Answer the following questions:
Based on the poem, what benefits do trees give us?
How can we save our environment from the pollution which is the biggest problem of the
earth?
Trees are valuable because of the products and amenities they give such as:
1. food like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sugar
2. wood used as fuel for cooking and heating
3. construction materials which include lumber, plywood, and board
4. fiber for the production of pulp and paper; and
5. chemical products such as resin, rubber, and turpentine.
There are other benefits derived from trees to maintain a healthy community. Some of
these benefits include:
1. They provide shade and fresh air around the house and, along the streets and
surroundings.
 Trees are very much needed by people in these times of climate change
when the temperature is high and the heat of the sun becomes intense.
Without trees, there are no shades to keep us cool.
2. They protect the soil from erosion.
 Have you seen big roots that extend several meters from the trunk or go
deeper into the soil? These roots hold the soil, preventing it from eroding
when rain or floods come.
3. They help maintain high quality water supply.
 The roots of plants and trees help strain the dirt and cleanse the water as it
passes through the roots.
4. The root system promotes soil stability.
 This means that, the soil held by the roots remain there and does not erode.
5. They serve as valuable wildlife habitats.
What is It

13. 9
 Wild animals live in places with many trees like that of a forest.
6. They serve as windbreakers during typhoons and storms, thus, reducing the
destruction of home and agricultural crops.
 A typhoon that is strong usually moves at a very fast speed. It continues to be
that strong if there are no barriers on the path where it moves. But when it
passes barriers like mountains and trees, it slows down and its speed is
reduced. Small crops and plants as well as houses are safe when typhoon is
weak.
7. They help reduce pollutions in congested urban areas.
 Remember that trees take in carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles that
belches smoke. The more trees present, the less amount of carbon dioxide is
in the air
8. They contribute to the beautiful landscapes in the city and the countryside.
 Imagine a land with plenty of trees and grass and a scattering of flowers of
beautiful colors, sizes, and shapes.
9. They improve the atmosphere of a place by giving a feeling of freshness and
coolness as they reduce temperature.
10. They prevent river and lake sedimentation.
 Have you observed a river bank that is lined endlessly with full-grown trees?
These trees help hold the water in the lake and river and keep it there. This
prevents the lake and river from drying up.
11. They prevent floods.
 Floods occur when water from rain rushes in causing soil erosion. However, if
there are trees to serve as barriers and the roots to hold the water, flood will
not occur.
Trees are beneficial not only to the family but to the community as well. We should
help in preserving them by planting more trees. Stop deforestation or cutting trees. Instead,
do reforestation. You are not only saving yourself but saving your family, community, and
also the world.
Some of the products that are made from trees are the following:
1. Lumber- processed wood to
construct houses for man and
animals, cabinets, fixtures and
others.

2. Wine cork- a stopper use to seal
wine bottles.
3. Paper- product made from fiber
harvested from wood pulp of trees.
4. Rubber - derived from sap of
some trees.
5. Sugar- extracted from wood pulp
of sugar plant.
6. Turpentine- the product produced
from juice of some trees.

15. 11
7. Sponges-a soft and squishy
product made from renewable
plant-based materials such as
cotton fiber and wood pulp
8. Chocolate- comes from cacao tree.
9. Car wax- obtained by drying and
beating the leaves of a palm tree
to remove the wax.
10. Hair dye- the leaves from the
henna tree have been used to
create hair dye.
Trees are valuable because of the products and amenities they give. We use some
products made from trees everyday such as wood and paper in addition to many products
you would never guess came from a tree. Wood byproducts and chemicals extracted from
trees are used to make thousands of products. All parts of the log are used, so there is
virtually no waste, and leftovers.

Answer the following questions:
Who were some of the successful orchard growers in our province that you have
learned from the previous lesson.? Why do you think they were successful?
Read the poem.
The Heart of a Tree
by H. C. Bruner
One of the greatest things you can ever do is plant a tree. Do you know why?
What does he plant who plants a tree? He plants the friends of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free; The shaft of beauty towering high,
He plants a home to heaven a-nigh, For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard—The treble of heaven’s harmony—
These things he plants who plants a tree.
If you get to know the success stories of our country’s top orchard growers, you
would never imagine how they got to where they are now. Their hard work, determination,
and will to succeed is truly worth emulating. Below are some of the successful orchard
growers:
1. Editha Aguinaldo Dacuycuy - ventured into the dragon fruit business when she was told
how the fruit can help relieve constipation problems – a condition common to cerebral
palsy patients. Her daughter, Kate, was suffering from this ailment. Selling at Php 450.00
per kilo, dragon fruit was too expensive for Editha, so she decided to raise her own fruits
in their backyard. From a small plot, they now own a 10-hectare property. Dubbed as
“Dragon Lady”, Manang Editha, together with her husband and daughter, Mimie Mildred,
also expanded their business into dragon fruit ice cream, vegan dragon fruit lumpia, wine,
vinegar, and even empanadita, dumplings, and burger patties. Located in Barangay
Paayas, Burgos, IlocosNorte, REFMAD Farms (Rare Eagle Forest Marine and agricultural
Development) is now an agritourism showcase offering research and livelihood training to
fellow Ilocanos and interested farmers). No less than President NOYNOY Aquino
awarded Manang Editha for her hardwork, as well as other well- known awarding bodies.
Her farm has a steady market in neighboring provinces in Ilocos Norte and Metro Manila.
DOLE Philippines orders in bulk, while hotels in Ilocos Norte are their regular clients.
2. Alfredo M. Yao – The “Juice King of the Philippines”, also owns a farm in Negros
Occidental aside from Zest – O Corporation. At 12 years old, he lost his father and grew
up doing odd jobs to help his mother feed her family of six children. One of his jobs was
working in a warehouse of a packaging company. Encouraged by the promising
profitability of a packaging format in Europe (Doypack), he bought one and tried to market

the machine to local juice manufacturers. When no factory took notice, he made his own
fruit juice and launched what was to become one of the biggest local juice brands.
3. Patricio Base – With his 3-hectare plantation of watermelons, honeydew melons, and
papaya, he produces crops year-round in Alicia, Isabela. He was able to send his four
children to college with his earnings. He used to grow rice before venturing into
watermelons. He said there was no money in planting rice, but now with melons, one can
even hit the jackpot. In July 2013, he planted Diana watermelons in 3,500 square meters
and got 12 tons worth Php 480.00.
4. Senen Bacani of La Fuerta Inc.- a former Department of Agriculture (DA) Head, Mr.
Bacani is now the CEO of La Fuerte Inc. “We excel because we care,” is his company’s
motto. With his eagerness to help his community in Mindanao, he converted his land into
a banana plantation that produces 5 to 6 million boxes of Cavendish bananas and exports
them to Middle East and other Asian Countries.
5. Joseph Calata of Calata Corporation- The Calata Corporation is the country’s largest
distributor of agrochemicals, feeds, fertilizers, and seeds. Mr. Calata is the brain behind
its success. He is known to be the youngest business tycoon in the country.
With his belief on the empowerment of agricultural sector as well as in treating their
farmers as their best asset, he produces great products.
6. Desiree Duran of Duran Farm and Agribusiness Center- With her desire to learn about
farming, Ms. Duran involved herself in various agribusiness seminars and trainings. She
then converted her land into a tomato plantation and involved her community in the
production. Besides producing high quality fruits and vegetables, the center also trains
and teaches farmers on modern agricultural technology.
7. Jose Mercado of Merlo Agricultural Corporation- As a young boy, he was already
exposed to coffee farming in Batangas. He continues this kind of business because he
knew that coffee business will make him successful. It actually gives him a better life. As
one of the pioneers in the coffee beans and roasting techniques. He, likewise, developed
his own blend, Café de Lifa for its flavor and aroma, beside the popular brands Batangas
Brew and Kapeng Barako.
