In broadcasting, the only basis for planting is the total seeding rate usually expressed in the weight of seeds per unit area.
Example: 50-100 kg per hectare for lowland rice.
There are no rows and uniform plant-to-plant distances are not considered.
It is possible to calculate the total plant population and the average number of plants per unit area upon germination if the average weight and the germination percentage of seeds are known.
A replicated sampling of stand count per square meter or any sample area can also give a good estimate of the total population.
In both the hill and drill methods of planting by direct seeding, there is a desired row-to-row spacing.
Take mungbean, for example. The distance between adjacent rows may be 60 cm.
Based on crop grouping and plant use, the main divisions or branches of horticulture are:
1. Olericulture – The production of vegetables includes storage, processing, and marketing.
Vegetable crops are grown for their succulent and edible parts such as the roots, stems, leaves, young tops, flowers, fruits, or seeds for use in culinary preparations either fresh or preserved in the fresh state.
2. Pomology – The branch of horticulture that deals with fruit crop production. Fruit crops are grown for their edible fruits which, as a rule, are consumed raw.
3. Floriculture – The cultivation and management of cut flowers, flowering plants, and foliage plants (Louisiana State University 2011) including their use in an ornamental construct such as flower arrangement (ISHS 2011).
A term that is used interchangeably with floriculture is ornamental horticulture.
The traditional Filipino farmer is not unfamiliar with integrated farming system (IFS), multiple cropping, and sustainable agriculture.
He who lives in the farm and mainly depends for subsistence from its produce should be ingenious.
He has to be, being short always of capital.
In order to maximize production from a farm with a limited area, he had to invent the “bahay kubo” or multiple cropping systems.
And then integrate it with the raising of livestock animals, poultry, and fish, where suitable.
In farms large enough to require the constant use of the plow, the carabao is always there (but click here to read the impact of Btrr corn on carabao).
The plastic tent method, also called kulob method, is the technique of enclosing potted planting materials with a plastic bag.
The method is commonly practiced in plant propagation by stem cuttings.
But it has another important application, one which can be considered as both cost-saving and life-saving.
Cost-saving in the sense that the technique eliminates the need to hire labor or to pay services.
Life-saving too, that is, for your favorite plant.
There’s an easy and quick way to prepare liquid fertilizer. All it takes is to dissolve urea (46-0-0) in water.
This dilute solution can be immediately used for soil drench and spray application to supplement nitrogen to plants in need of the nutrient or to ensure its availability.
1% urea solution can be prepared just before application
The basic procedure that we follow is based on the long-established fact that 1% urea solution can be sprayed or used to water many plants including the leafy vegetable pechay (Brassica sp.).
As for maintenance fertilizer for potted seedlings in the nursery, we do the watering once a week to once every two weeks.
But first, the theoretical basis.
