Lesson
Interpret Plans and Drawings

Providing the students the fundamental knowledge is one of the objectives
of teaching Crop Production that could help them cope with the life brought by
economic crisis this time of pandemic.
During this time of pandemic, when many people are working at home and
students are learning at home, home gardening can be a positive family activity.
Gardening requires good planning where knowledge in growing plants and the
place for the garden are considered to produce quality crops.
They could apply their knowledge in crop production and produce healthy
vegetables and become not only a source of income for the family but a source of
recreation as well.
What’s In
Direction: Look at the garden below then answer the following questions on your
activity notebook.

What’s New
Definition of Terms:
Irrigation - the application of water to the soil by any other means than rainfall.
Garden design- art and process of designing plans for layout and planting of
gardens and landscapes.
Trellis – a framework of light wooden or metal bars, chiefly used as a support for
fruit trees or climbing plants.
Surface soil – the part of the earth's surface consisting of humus and
disintegrated rock. The upper 5 to 8 inches of the soil layer: the portion of the soil
usually tilled.
Sub-surface soil – earth material (such as rock) near but not exposed at the
surface of the ground.
System – an organized collection of parts (or subsystems) that are highly integrated
to accomplish an overall goal or regularly interacting or interdependent group of
items forming a unified whole.
The Farming for the Future (FFTF) program can help you to plan the best
farm layout. A whole farm plan considers the farm’s physical, financial and
human/personal resources for both now and the future.
1. If your garden site is in a sloping hill, the plants should be in a row across the
slope to avoid erosion.
2. In order for the plants to receive the maximum sunlight the whole day, plant the
crops in rows from north to south direction.
3. Provide the proper place for soft-stemmed vegetables, bushy vegetables, vine
vegetables, and tree vegetables.
5. Plants that will occupy an area in the garden the whole season should be grouped
together.
6. Fast growing or quick maturing plants such as pechay and lettuce should be
grouped together.
7. If your garden space is limited, the long maturing plants can be planted between
the early maturing ones so that by the time they are harvested, the long maturing
ones will have enough space.
8. The rows must be straight. Provide space between the rows to make cultivation
easier.
9. Provide a space for the garden house the tools, sees, fertilizers, pesticides,
insecticides and other supplies.
10. Indicate the location of the fence, well or pump, and drainage or irrigation
ditches.

MOST COMMON GARDEN LAYOUT FOR GROWING VEGETABLES
1. Vertical growing vegetable gardens. These gardens are designed for people
having little to no traditional garden space. Rather than planting in your typical
garden bed, you take advantage of vertical space, growing plants along trellises,
hanging baskets or even upside down.
2. Block garden layout plan is called the block style garden layout. Also called
close row or wide row planting, this method increases yields significantly over a
traditional row style garden. The bed should be 3-4 feet wide and any length desired.
This width makes it easy to reach into the bed to weed, harvest or replant. Walkways
should be minimal and about 18-24 inches across.
3. Square foot garden plots are generally set up in grids of 4 x 4 squares with
strings or wood attached to the frame to divide the bed into equal square-foot
sections. One type of vegetable is planted in each section. If vine plants are grown,
they’re usually placed in the back with a trellis to allow the plant to grow up.
4. The traditional four-square layout is created by straight paths, one leading from
the garden gate to the front entry of the house, and the other crossing it at a 90-
degree angle.
5. Raised bed/containers Again, for those having little space or even inadequate
soil, planting veggies in raised beds or containers is a great alternative. With this
layout option, the sky is the limit, as you have the flexibility in moving the garden
around and making use of all available space, including vertical areas.
6. Single Row the most basic garden plan consists of a design with straight, long
rows running north to south orientation.
1. MONOCROP is the agricultural practice of growing a single crop year on the same
land and in the absence of rotation.
There are two methods of planting crops: direct seeding and transplanting.
Direct seeding is either by broadcast, hill or dibble or by drill method. The hill and
drill methods are alternative options in row planting.
The Philippines has about 10.3 million hectares agricultural lands. Out of
this, around 3.1 million hectares are considered irrigable, with up to 3% slope, and
primarily devoted to rice and corn. A study of the World Bank, however, identified
more than 6.1 million hectares of irrigable, including areas that are relatively more
difficult to irrigate and up to 8% slope.
As of December 2015, about 1.731 million hectares or 57.3 percent of the
3.1 million hectares have been developed for irrigation. Of the total area under
irrigation, about 754,665 hectares is under National Irrigation System (NIS);
615,797 hectares under Communal Irrigation System that are constructed through
private initiatives.
1. National Irrigation System (NIS) – are large and medium schemes. These are
basically operated and maintained by NIA where beneficiaries are charged irrigation
service fee for the services rendered in the delivery of water.
2. Communal Irrigation System (CIS) – are small scale schemes and constructed
with the participation of farmer beneficiaries thru their IAs.
3. Private irrigation systems - are those constructed and operated and maintained
by private individuals or groups with or without technical assistance by NIA or other
government agencies.

IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION
8
1. Surface irrigation is where water is applied and distributed over the soil
surface by gravity. It is by far the most common form of irrigation throughout
the world and has been practiced in many areas virtually unchanged for
thousands of years.
2. Sprinkler Irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water which is similar
to rainfall. Water is distributed through a system of pipes usually by
pumping. It is then sprayed into the air and irrigated entire soil surface
through spray heads so that it breaks up into small water drops which fall
to the ground.
3. Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to
save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of
plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface.
4. Subsurface irrigation uses a network of polyethylene pipes located just
under the ground's surface to apply disinfected effluent in the root zone of
plants, preventing airborne drift and minimizing runoff.
1. Drain Back Level Basins (DBLB) or contour basins are a variant of basin
irrigation where the field is divided into a number of terraced rectangular
bays which are graded level or have no significant slope.
2. Furrow irrigation is conducted by creating small parallel channels along the
field length in the direction of predominant slope. Water is applied to the top
end of each furrow and flows down the field under the influence of gravity.
The spacing between adjacent furrows is governed by the crop species,
common spacing typically range from 0.75 to 2 meters.

ADVANTAGES OF SURFACE IRRIGATION
1. Management is quite easy, you do not need any modern technology. If you
have local traditional knowledge, you can do it.
2. You do not need high financial support. You can be beneficial with small
lands too.
3. If you have short time water supplies, then this is the best process for you.
4. If your drainage system is far, then you just need longer tubes
5. This is a nature-friendly system, you can utilize rainwater.
6. It also works effectively in a low filtration rate.
7. Low capital and no energy cost needed.
8. You can use this irrigation process in sloping lands and long fields.
1. Increased yield
2. Early maturity
3. Water saving
4. Fertilizer saving
5. Increased fertilizer use efficiency by crop energy saving
6. Labor saving
7. Marginal land & undulated land can be irrigated
8. Reduced weed growth
9. Less problem of disease and pest
10. Makes intercultural operations easy
