The document outlines essential elements in planting trees and fruit-bearing plants, including proper care for soil and plants, methods of planting, seed germination, and preparation of seedlings for transplanting. It provides detailed steps for conducting online surveys related to these topics, emphasizing the importance of defining objectives, identifying participants, and analyzing results. Additionally, it includes exercises to reinforce learning through matching, jumbled letters, and multiple-choice questions.

A. Elements to be observed in planting trees and fruit-
bearing trees
1. Proper care of the plants and soil
Trees and fruit-bearing trees need a wider space for
planting to grow and be productive than ornamental
plants and vegetables because the roots of the trees
expand sideward and move downward. Here are some
ways of caring plants and soil:

5. z
1.1 Choose the right place for planting.
Farmers should select a place away from thickly
populated areas, roots of the plants have enough space
to spread out, and near to different bodies of water like
lakes, swamps and rivers. The kind of soil as well as the
amount of sunlight that the trees can have should also
be considered.

6. z
1.2. Select seeds that best suited for both soil and the
season.
Good quality seeds came from high yielding mother
trees, so farmers should be skilled in choosing the right
seeds in order to gain more products.
Plant trees according to their season of planting. A good
season in planting is the rainy season where there is
abundance of water. A farmer should prepare the soil
and seeds before planting.

7. z
1.3. Add enough fertilizer into the soil.
Trees and fruit-bearing trees need vitamins and minerals
for their growth.
These elements are found in the soil but are improved
when mixed with either organic or inorganic fertilizers.
Organic fertilizer is safer and more economical to use
while using inorganic fertilizer or commercial fertilizer
should be regulated because
overuse of it can damage the soil.

8. z
1.4. Take care of the soil and the plants regularly.
Proper care of soil and young trees or fruit-bearing trees
is another element in planting tree. This can be done by
removing the grasses or weeds around each tree,so it
cannot compete in getting the nutrients from the soil.
Use organic pesticides or
apply appropriate fungicide or insecticide to properly
manage and control the pest, if possible.

9. z
2. Methods of Planting
There are two methods in planting trees. Direct-seeding is
a method of planting seeds directly into the ground or plot.
Indirect or Transplanting Method is planting seeds in a
seed box or plastic container, fully grown seedlings are
transplanted to the ground or plot. Seeds to be planted are
seeds with high
percentage of germination, correct moisture content, and
free from seed pest, diseases, and other impurities. When
planting seedlings, select those that have uniform height
and having varietal purity.

10. z

11. z
3. The Seed Germination
Seed germination is the development or growth of a
seed into a young plant that influence harvest and the
quality of tree products. This process needs water or
moisture, warmth or temperature, oxygen, and
sunlight for seeds to grow in either a seed box, plastic
container or other wrappers.

12. z

13. z
4. Preparation of seedlings before transplanting
Transplanting is the process where seedlings is
transferred from the seed box or other containers to
the ground or plot for growth, development, and
production.

14. z

15. z
To avoid mortality in transplanting, seedlings and to
attain a higher rate of survival, the following process
are to be kept in mind:
1. Thinning- This process accelerates the
circulation of air and provide greater area for
seedlings to make them stronger and healthier. This
is done by removing the crowded seedling in the
seed box.

16. z

17. z
2. Pricking- These refers to transferring of seedlings
from one seed box to
another to provide more space for proper development
of seedling. Water the seedling before pricking to make
the soil smooth.

18. z
3. Hardening- The process can be done in 7 to 15
days before transplanting, to make the tissue of the
plants harder to survive the rigors of transplanting.

planting trees and fruit-bearing trees? Write your
answer in the Mind Map.

form a word/words.
