1. The document discusses factors to consider when laying out a crop farm, including site selection, soil type, and planting systems.
2. Site selection involves constructing fences, roads, irrigation, and drainage, as well as establishing conservation measures in hilly areas and windbreaks in typhoon-prone regions.
3. The best soil types are deep, well-draining soils, while muddy soils drain poorly and are less suitable.
4. Planting systems include square, quincunx, hexagonal, and contour patterns, and the suitable system depends on crop type, terrain, and other farming methods.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Â
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
6. LAYOUT
GARDEN
PLOTS
Most farm plans consist of several activities and components to be
considered to achieve optimum crop production and significant
income for the farmers.
7. In this lesson, with the guidance and
supervision of your subject teacher, upon
interpreting layouts and drawings; you will
be able to select the appropriate planting
method/system suited and adapted to the
geographical set up of your farm. You can
also be able to interpret the irrigation system
plan according to the established procedure

8. Here are the factors to consider in laying-out crop farm:
Site Selection
It refers to the setting up of farm structures necessary to facilitate the
overall management of the orchard or plantation. It includes among
other, construction of perimeter fences, farm road networks, and
irrigation systems, and drainage canals. It may also involve putting up
a nursery that will produce the required volume of high-quality planting
materials. In hilly land, it is also necessary to establish appropriate soil
and water conservation measures such as terracing and hedgerows.
In typhoon belt areas, the establishment of windbreak structures is
best done during this period.
9. Here are the factors to consider in laying-out crop farm:
Soil type
The type of soil must be suitable for the crop being
cultivated. The best types of soil are deep, well-drained
sands, sandy loams, and loams. Muddy soils are much less
suitable as they drain poorly and easily get saturated. After
knowing the factors to consider in laying out a crop farm, the
next phase is farm planning. The first step in farm planning
is choosing the system of farming.
10. Here are the factors to consider in laying-out crop farm:
Planting System
There are different patterns to follow in planting especially horticultural
crops: 1) square 2) quincunx or diagonal 3) hexagonal or triangular
and 4) contour system. Farmers should consider several systems of
planting to facilitate different farm operations such as weeding,
applying fertilizers, spraying, and harvesting. The planting pattern of
crops depends on the species/varieties of the crops, the topography,
cropping system (monocropping, crop rotation, and muticropping), and
the use of fillers aside from the main crop like banana and papaya.
