What is It
When you have an orchard project, careful planning is needed to avoid

wasteful spending of resources. Proper care for seedlings and trees is to be
undertaken that would include cultivating, watering, and use of fertilizer.
In this module, you will be learning the systematic and scientific ways of
caring for orchard trees and seedlings.
A. Land Preparation
Illustration done by: Learesa G. Amban
How you prepare the land before planting affects the growth of trees. Land
preparation plays a very important role in planting trees that farmers should do.
The following preparations should be done to make the land ready for
planting:
1. Remove the grass from the site including the stones to clear the planting area.
2. Plow or cultivate the land to loosen the soil.
3. Layout the digging hole; Layout is necessary for plants to look beautiful as it
grows and will facilitate easy watering.
4. Dig the planting hole; The planting hole should be at least one and a half times
the size of the root hole. The sides of the planting hole should be loosened.
5. Put organic matter or compost; Organic matter releases nutrients that become
absorbed by soil-dwelling microorganisms.
Illustration done by Learesa G. Amban
Proper Ways of Cultivating the Land
Cultivating the land is a practice to help promote the growth of roots and improve
aeration for the fast absorption of nutrients by the soil.
There are 2 ways of doing it:
a. Off-barring is also called rows cultivation, this is done only by cultivating the
soil in rows or the plant between the rows
b. and Hilling -up is cultivating soil towards the base of the plant or
cultivation around the plant.
When cultivation is done properly, the growth of weeds can be controlled. Soil
texture will improve plant growth and distractive microorganisms found in the soil
will eventually die.
Off-barring Hilling
B. Planting
Trees are to be planted within a day it was taken from the plant nursery.
Roots should be moist until it can be planted. Provide wrapping materials to
pack bare-root trees while waiting the time to plant and remember to add
water as needed
Select a sunny, well-drained location in the yard or for a farm. Fruit
trees need at least eight hours of sunlight daily to thrive. Dig a hole slightly
wider and deeper than the rootball. Fill the planting hole with water and allow
it to soak into the soil. Do not add any amendments to the soil.
C. Staking
Newly planted trees needed support to be able to stand firm and grow.
Providing support to these newly planted trees is called Staking. Staking are
done to new trees that can’t stand on their own or those that begin to lean,
young trees if the soil is too wet or loose, and tall top-heavy trees with no lower
branches.
How to Stake Trees for Support:

1. Remove the nursery stakes and find two or three stakes (wooden or metal).
Place your hand on the trunk and see where it needs to be steadied. That’s
how tall your stakes should be.
2. Place the two stakes opposite each other and about 1.5’ away from the
trunk. Use the third stake only if needed and put on an open side of the tree.
3. Materials to be used as stakes should be soft to allow free movement of the
tree when it is attached to it. The use of rope or wire is not advised because
it may damage the growing tree.
D. Watering
Water is an essential element for plant growth and survival. Trees and fruit-
bearing trees cannot survive without water. Plants grow healthy when properly
cared. Watering the plant should be done early in the morning or late in the
afternoon to prevent withering.
Proper ways in watering plants:

1. Natural watering is a way of watering the plant through the aid of rain. It is
the nature’s way of watering all plants.
2. Manual watering is done when plants are watered using different tools for
irrigation such as pail, sprinkler, and dipper.
3. Artificial watering supplies water to the plant from artificially produced
sources like deep wells, dams and rivers with use of motors or machine.
Types of Irrigation
1. Surface and furrow irrigation can be done when water is distributed to each
row and applicable for row crops with uniform slopes.
2. Sprinkler irrigation includes the line, rotating and micro sprinklers in which
artificial rain is distributed through special devices that wet the entire field.
3. Drip or trickle irrigation is a special water source designed to discharge water
close to the plant, wetting only that area and leaving the rest dry.
Sub-irrigation is a very expensive style of irrigation because water source is
from the ground.
E. Preparing and Applying Organic Fertilizer
Fertilizers are substances added to the soil that promote the healthy growth of
plants and to increase its productivity. There are two types of fertilizers:
1. Organic Fertilizer is a natural fertilizer from decayed matter, animal, and other
natural sources; and
2. Inorganic Fertilizer an artificial fertilizer made from chemicals (either in liquid,

soluble, and granular form).
Organic fertilizers came from decomposed organic matter includes animal

manure, food washing, plant residues, and other organic wastes. Organic fertilizers
contain a high percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium which are the
necessary elements for the growth of plants. Using organic fertilizer promotes the
increase of a beneficial organism, adds more nutrients to the soil, and gives high
production.
Examples of Organic Fertilizers
Given below are some of the organic fertilizers being used in different farms:
Organic Fertilizer Description

1 Humus a decayed matter from plants and animals
mixed with soil
2 Manure animal waste from livestock (big animals)

and poultry (chicken)
3 Green manure comes from decayed plants

4 Compost decomposed biodegradable waste
5 Liquid Fertilizer made from the juice of plants and vermin
compost through the process of concoction
(allows the juice to decompose with red
sugar/molasses in a container).
Ways of Preparing Organic Fertilizer
1. Composting
It is a process of decomposing organic matters such as weeds, manure,
grasses, leaves, vines, rice hulls and corn stalks until they are ready to be
used as fertilizer.
Types of Composting
• Compost Pit – composting by digging pit keeping compost underground.
• Compost Basket – composting home garbage in container.
• Compost Heap – a compost pile.
• Vermi Compost – comes from the waste of vermin (earthworm).
Compost Pit Compost Basket
Compost Heap Vermi Compost
Benefits of Using Organic Fertilizer
The use of organic-based fertilizers in sustainable agriculture benefits

farmers, growers, consumers and the environment in many ways such us:
• increases nutrient efficiency and organic matter content in the soil;

• Nurtures the soil with organic matter that reduces dependency on chemical
inputs; www.epicgardening.com
• brings back soil fertility and maintains plant growth;
• improves the of water use for crop to be strong and drought-resistant;
• does not harm the soil, environment friendly;
• fertilizes the soil and improve its structure and fertility;
• is less expensive, so money can be saved in terms of buying fertilizer;
• is safe to use.
Ways of Preparing Compost:
Here are the steps in preparing organic fertilizer or compost:
1. Dig a compost pit usually at the back of the yard.

2. Build a shelter to protect it from the rain measuring at least 2 meters by 3 meters
an alternative to building a shelter is to cover the file with plastic materials.
3. Gather and prepare all compost materials.
4. Pile a layer of grass and kitchen leftover about 12-15cm thick to cover the area.
5. Level the area then file the second layer of animal manure about 5-8cm.Thicken
layer over the first layer.
6. Make other layers like the first two layers until the pile reaches 1 1/2 meters
7. Sprinkle the pile with water to make it moist.
8. Cover the top pile with banana leaves.
9. Provide breathers like bamboo holes in the middle of the pile.
10. The compost is ready after three months.

2. Preparing Liquid Organic Fertilizer
How to prepare Liquid Organic Fertilizer:
Ingredients:
Chopped fruits and vegetables

Red sugar and molasses
Container
Manila paper
Masking tape
Procedure:
1. Mix sugar, chopped fruits and vegetables in a container.
2. Squeeze the mixture until all ingredients look watery.
3. Cover the container using manila paper and masking tape.
4. Put date of process, wait for ten days to harvest the fertilizer.
5. During harvest, filter the mixture. Get the juice.
Safety Measures in Preparing Organic Fertilizers
• Always wear the personal protective equipment such as face mask, hand
gloves, apron, working clothes, and boots.
• Always read the instruction before doing the activity.
• Follow the guide of proper posture while working to avoid straining your
back.
• Check the working condition of tools before using them.
