Lesson
Perform Plant Care and
1 Management

Inside this module are topics intended for your learning. You will determine the
areas for replanting, following guidelines needed for replanting the proper spacing and
valuing the importance of maintaining plant ratio for environmental and human
sustainability. Just set down, relax, and prepare for fun-filled learning ahead.

 What’s New

Replanting or transplanting

In agriculture, is the technique of moving a plant from one location to

another.

Planting on hills or hill planting may be a method commonly used for big vine fruit and
vegetable seeds, including melons, squash, cucumbers, sweet corn, and okra. Seeds are planted
in groups on flat-top circular mounds where the soil stays warmer and plants have greater
access to water and nutrients, and roots have more room to expand. Hill planting is often
confused with mound planting, a technique that's not recommended because peaked mounds
dry out faster than the flat surface required for hill planting.

What is It

Two Types of Planting

A. Direct planting- it is a term that describes a seeding method. This method

involves sowing seeds directly into the soil.

Examples of vegetables that can be direct planted:

a. Beans
b. Carrots
c. Melons
d. Peas NegOr_Q4_Organic Agriculture Prod11_Module1_v2

e. Radish
f. Spinach
g. Squashes etc.

B. Indirect Transplanting - planting with the use of pre-grown seedlings or plants

that had been propagated from seeds. Indirect because the seeds are not
immediately sown on the field.

Examples of plants that can be transplanted:

a. Lettuce
b. Celery
c. Garlic
d. Onions
e. Cabbage
f. Tomatoes
g. Eggplant
h. Root crops
i. Peachy

Things to do when transplanting:

⚫ Transplant seedlings when it has 4-5 leaves or 3-5 weeks from germination.
⚫ Solanaceous & Brassicas: 20-25 DAS
⚫ Legumes & cucurbits: 10-15 DAS
⚫ Select healthy vigorous seedlings.
⚫ Water seedlings one day before transplanting
⚫ Plant during the cool hours or late in the afternoon.

How to transplant vegetable seedling

1. The seedling should be hardened-off, well-fed, and watered before transplanting.
2. Prepare a weed-free surface.
1. Dig a hole large enough for seedlings.
2. Carefully remove the seedling from its container.
3. Set seedling in hole level with the soil surface.
4. Feed seedling to kick start growth.
5. Surround seedling with displaced soil.

Seedling Treatment
➢ Soak seedlings in a solution of 2 tbsp of coconut wine, 2 tbsp of OHN and 2
Tbsp of FPJ, and 3 liters of water in 15 seconds.
➢ Do not water the seedling 2 days before transplanting
➢ Plant seedlings immediately.

➢ Sprinkle the remaining mixture on plants after they are transplanted

Age of seedlings for Transplanting (additional)

⚫ Solanaceous (eggplant, tomato, pepper, beans)
⚫ 18-28 days after sowing or 4-5 true leaves
⚫ Cucurbits (cucumber, ampalaya, squash, gourd, patola)
⚫ 10-15 days or 2-3 true leaves
⚫ Crucifers (cabbage, cauliflower, Broccoli)
⚫ 18-28 days or 4-5 true leaves
⚫ Leafy vegetables (Peachy)
⚫ 8-10 days or 2-3 true leaves

Pruning “Pagpamul-ong”
 Prune unwanted shoots
 Remove damaged branches and leaves to prevent disease contamination of
quality fruits and vegetables.
 Sanitize hand shears before pruning your eggplants to avoid transmission of
disease organisms.

What I Have Learned

Direction: Fill in the blanks the correct number of days or number of leaves. Copy
answer this on your notebook.

1. Leafy vegetables require to days for transplanting.

2. Solanaceous plants: 18 to 28 days or - leaves for transplanting.
3. When selecting seedlings, healthy is the best one.
4. Plant during the cool hours or ________________.
