c. Lesson Proper
At this point in time, we’re going to tackle the
Farm Estimation.
- What is perform estimation?
First, we have here the Farm inputs.
Farm inputs are the resources used in farm production
such as chemicals, equipment seeds and energy. They are
also called “farm supplies”. On the other hand, farm
labor refers to work performed by farm worker in
exchange for salary.
Farm inputs:
A. Fertilizer – these are chemicals or natural
substances added to soil to increase fertility.
Kinds of Fertilizer:
1. Organic Ex. Animal Manure - this include is
all solid and liquid animal excreta from
chicken, carabao, cattle, horses and pigs.
2. Inorganic Fertilizer. Commercial fertilizer
are plant nutrients made of crude chemical
compound which are presented in a
concentrated and valuable form. They may be
either complete or incomplete fertilizer. A
complete fertilizer contains all three of the
essential elements of plant food- nitrogen,
phosphorous and potassium. An incomplete
fertilizer contains only one or two of these
three elements
B. Seeds – a flowering plant’s unit of
reproduction capable of developing into
another plant. Farmers should always test
seeds to detect the seeds’ viability to
germinate.
C. Seedlings – these are young plants already
grown from seeds.
D. Insecticides – these are chemical or natural
substances used for killing insects.
We also have here, Activities done in the garden or farm:
1.Land requirements for land preparation
2.Land requirements for planting
3.Land requirements for plant care
4. Generalization

3. In your own words, what are the procedures in cleaning
farm tools? Equipment?
