Key Message
For Educators:
Learning is a constant process. Amidst inevitable circumstances, the Department of

Education extends its resources and looks for varied ways to cater to your needs and to adapt
to the new system of Education as a fortress of the Learning Continuity Plan. One of the
probable solutions is the use of Teacher-made Educational Modules in teaching.
You are reading the Agricultural Crop Production Grade 9: First Quarter
Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on “Prepare Growing Media According to Crop
2.0
Requirements”as written and found in the K-12 Most Essential Learning Competencies.
ON
The creation of this module is a combined effort of competent educators from different
levels and various schools of the Department of Education-Cebu Province. Furthermore, this
module is meticulously planned, organized, checked, and verified by knowledgeable
SI
educators to assist you in imparting the lessons to the learners while considering the physical,
ER
social and economic restraints in the teaching process.
The use of the Teacher-made Educational Module aims to surpass the challenges of
-V
teaching in a new normal education set-up. Through this module, the students are given
independent learning activities that embody in the Most Essential Learning Competencies
based on the K-12 Curriculum Competencies, to work on according to their capability, S
LE
efficiency, and time. Thus, helping the learners acquire the prerequisite 21 st Century skills
needed with the emphasis on utmost effort in considering the whole well-being of the learners.
DU
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the
module:

GE
As the main source of learning, it is your top priority to explain clearly how to use this
module to the learners. While using this module, learner’s progress and development should
be recorded verbatim to assess their strengths and weaknesses while doing the activities
T
presented independently in the safety of their homes. Moreover, you are anticipated to
1S
persuade learners to comply and to finish the modules on or before the scheduled time.
For the Learners:
As a significant stakeholder of learning, the Department of Education researched and

explored innovative ways to address your needs with high consideration on social, economic,
physical, and emotional aspects of your well-being. To continue the learning process, DepEd
comes up with an Alternative Delivery mode of teaching using Teacher-Made Educational
Modules.

WHAT IS IT
Components of the Growing Vegetable Crops, Sow Seeds and Soil Sterilization
Let us define some words:

 Soil sterilization - the process of subjecting the soil to heat or chemicals to kill
microorganisms and other bacteria.
2.0
 Sanitation - an activity that reduces the spread of pathogen inoculums, such as
removal and destruction of infected plant parts, cleaning of tools, and field equipment.
ON
 Shed - a roof used to protect seedlings and other plants.
 Seedbeds - especially prepared plots where seeds are germinated.
SI
 Seed box - a box filled with soil or growing media where the seeds are germinated.
ER
The best soil for general nursery purposes is a friable loam, rich in humus with a proper
percentage of clay. In cases that these are not available, the growing media can be prepared
-V
by thoroughly mixing the following components:
 1 part garden soil

S
LE
 1 part sieved sand /coco peat

DU
1 part compost
 1 part sawdust or rice hull /carbonized rice hulls
MO
These soil components are thoroughly mixed together and will be placed in seed boxes,
plastic bags, seed trays, or germinating trays or to the seedbeds.
ON
To ensure the safety of seedlings from soil-borne diseases, sterilize the growing media.
TI
Sterilized soil safeguards the seedlings from the attack of damping-off which commonly destroys
young seedlings in seed boxes or seedbeds.
RA
Methods of Soil Sterilization

NE
1. Burning organic materials on the soil

GE
A common method of soil sterilization is heating up the soil. The high temperature
T
will cause the death of many micro-organisms, including pathogens on the top of the soil
1S
and insect pests with soil-dwelling stages such as cutworms.
2. Pouring boiling water to the soil
3. Solarization
Disclaimer: The contents above are borrowed from the printed and online sources. Department of Education does not claim or own the presented
contents. The sources are found in the reference part of the module.
3
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Solarization is a method of soil sterilization that uses the sun to heat the soil.
Solarization can control soil-borne diseases, weed seeds, and some nematodes including
root-knot nematodes.
To solarize soil, the soil is covered with clear polyethylene or plastic sheets. The
best time is during the hot season, where there is plenty of suns. The sun heats up the soil
through the plastic and the plastic sheet keeps the heat inside the soil. The sheets should
be left in the field for 4 weeks.
4. Bio fumigation
2.0
Soil-borne pests and pathogens can be suppressed by chemical compounds that
ON
are released during the decomposition of certain crops. This is called bio fumigation. The
chemical compounds that kill or suppress pathogens are principally is thiocyanates. Those
crops with bio fumigation potentials are used as a rotation crop, a companion, or a green
SI
manure crop.
ER
5. Chemical treatment
-V
Treat the soil with chemicals like Formaldehyde, 1 tablespoon per 1 gallon of
water. However, the use of chemicals is not environmentally friendly because chemicals
S
LE
may kill not only destructive micro-organisms but also beneficial ones.
DU
Preparing the Seed Beds/Seed Boxes

MO
In large scale planting, the vegetable seedlings are raised in outdoor seedbeds instead of
seed boxes. In this system, the seedlings maybe raised economically. The seedbed should be
carefully prepared by spading and raking to pulverize the soil. Improvement may be made by
ON
adding the prepared growing media. A 1 X 10 square meter seedbed is good enough. It is 5 to
10 cm above the level of the ground. You are through preparing your growing media. The next
TI
activity you will do is to propagate your plants.

RA
Sowing Seeds
NE
Sowing is the most important operation in crop production. The seed must be placed at a
GE
required depth in moist soil to get optimum conditions for its germination.
Too shallow sowing results in thin germination due to inadequate soil moisture at the
T
topsoil layer. Similarly, if the seeds are sown very deep in the soil, the young seedlings may not
1S
be able to push their shoots above through a thick soil layer. A seed must be sown at the proper
depth and should be properly covered with soil to get adequate moisture for its germination.
If you are planning to produce seedlings for the backyard garden, it is convenient to sow
the seeds in seed boxes, plastic cups, fruit juice containers, small polyethylene bags, or
germinating trays.
4
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, if you intend to plant on a commercial scale, it is logical to sow the seeds in
seedbeds because one hectare of solanaceous crops requires 52,000 to 68,000 seedlings which
need 10 plots measuring 1 X 10 square meters.
Steps in Sowing Seeds in Seed Boxes and Seed Beds
1. Moisten the soil media.

2. Sow the seeds in rows or broadcast evenly and thinly. Broadcasting is less satisfactory
than sowing the seeds in rows a few centimeters apart unless pricking is to be done.
Broadcasting of seeds, however, is not advisable because of the following reasons:
2.0
 The air circulation between the plants is not sufficient.
ON
 Seedlings dry less quickly, and such a condition is favorable for the growth of fungi.
 Weeds are harder to control.

SI
It is hard to produce stocky seedlings because the seeds are not properly covered with
soil.
ER
3. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of fine soil sufficient enough to cover the fine seeds.
-V
4. Press down firmly the whole surface of the seed box or seedbed with a flat board to ensure
a compact surface. S
5. Water the seedbeds/seed boxes using a sprinkler with fine holes or water hose with a fine
LE
spray.
DU
Let us remember
MO
Seedbed preparation and management are the most important factors in the success
of any vegetable planting. The seedbed must be smooth and weed-free because weeds will
ON
compete with seedlings for nutrients, water, and sunlight. A smooth clump-free seedbed will
guarantee firm contact between the soil and seed, thus enhancing seed germination.
TI
To prevent soilborne diseases, the soil must be sterilized.
