G7 2nd Quarter AFA - Planting and Harvesting

1. PLANTING

2. It is a vital stage in crop production wherein seeds or seedlings are planted in the soil to start crop growth. It promotes optimal seed germination, crop establishment and higher production PLANTING

3. Choosing the right seed is crucial for successful crop production. Some factors to consider: 1. Seed Selection Crop Variety : Suitable for climate, soil, and intended use Seed Quality : ensure high germination rate and disease-free seeds Seed treatment : some seeds require treatments for disease and pest control

4. Planting method depends of crop, soil condition and available resources. Common methods include: 2. Planting Method Direct Seeding : plant seed directly to soil Transplanting : grow seeds in containers then transfer to field Broadcasting : scatter seed Row planting : plant seeds in row for easier management

5. Proper spacing and depth is essential for optimal plant growth. Factors to include: 3. Seed Spacing and Depth Crop requirement : different crops have different needs Soil type : soil texture and structure influence depth Seed size : large seeds require deeper planting

6. Timing is crucial for crop success. This includes: 4. Planting Time Crop season : determine best time for planting depending on crop cycle Climate : avoid planting during extreme weather condition Soil temperature : many seeds require soil temperature for germination

7. HARVESTING

8. 1. Crop type : ex. Grains require different technique compared to delicate fruits 2. Maturity : picking too early reduces yield and quality; waiting too long can lead to spoilage or pest damage 3. Market demands : certain crops might benefit from specific ripeness level for optial consumer experience HARVESTING The act of gathering mature crops. Timing and method used are critical and depends on:
