INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE

Welcome to Agricultural Crop Production 9!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Negros Occidental and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults)
in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Agricultural Crop Production 9 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate
the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Agricultural Crop Production 9 Activity Sheet is developed to help

you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides
you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

3.1. Return materials to store or dispose according to company standard
procedures.

Content Standard:
The learner demonstrates an understanding of concepts, underlying
theories and principles in the preparation of farm materials, tools and equipment
and occasional health and safety operations in crop production.

Performance Standard:
The learner uses farm materials, tools and equipment and applies
occupational health and safety practices in crop production.

II. Background Information for Learners

Farm Waste Storage

A good storage for farm wastes should comply with requirements prescribed by the
Good Agricultural Practices and in accordance with the local Law (RA 9003) Ecological
Solid Waste Management Program. This program aims to merge environmental
protection with economic pursuits, recognizing the re-orientation of the community’s
view on solid waste, thereby providing schemes for waste minimization, volume
reduction, resource recovery utilization and disposal.

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)

Refers to the practices that address environmental, economic and social sustainability
for/on farm processes, and which result in safe and quality food and non-food
agricultural products (RA 10611). The said act should be observed always by farmers
as they are the cultivator of the farm.

Farm Waste

All garbage and waste materials generated throughout the operation, including cuttings
and trims, twigs, plastic, plant residues and others.

Storage

1. Choose a place where your storage should be built. See to it that the area is flood-
free or elevated, distance from the residence house and does not easily attract insect
and pest.
2. Ensure farm waste storage areas and containers are enough for the amount of waste
generated from the time it will be disposed or collected.
3. Maintain cleanliness of the waste storage areas often enough to avoid contamination
and diseases. Sanitize and disinfect the area as required.
4. Always use containers with lid/cup. Label the containers according to the nature of
waste. Color coding can be use also to determine the nature of waste to be thrown.

Pesticide and Insecticide Wastes

Unwanted containers of pesticides and insecticides used during operation

Storage

Rinse the container thrice following these steps:

1. Pour water to the containers to a minimum of one-eight of the container size.
2. Rinse by shaking or rolling the container Note: Recap the container before doing it to
avoid spillage and contamination.
3. Empty pesticide container contents into sprayer tank.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 two times. Note: Do not reuse pesticide/insecticide containers for
storage of other items.

In some organized farm a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) was established to facilitate
the proper storage and disposal of wastes.

The Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

A structure wherein wastes are being segregate, sort, dispose, process
(compost/recycle) and recover some useful products for money.
To facilitate the monitoring of the waste turn into MRF a farmer should have a record.
This record should be kept for reporting purposes to the Local Government Unit,
barangay, municipal/city, and provincial task force in charge in the waste management.

Fuel and chemical storage

Many materials that are used on farms fall into the category of "hazardous materials",
since they are either highly flammable or poisonous. The type and quantities of these
materials requiring storage will vary from one farm or one cooperative store to the next
and only a few basic requirements for safe storage will be considered here. Other
materials frequently used on farms such as fertilizers and cement also have special
storage requirements mainly because they are hydroscopic, i.e., they tend to pick up
moisture from the atmosphere.
Storage of Hazardous Products

 Hazardous materials stored on farms normally include the following:

 Highly flammable materials such as engine fuels and oils, such as petrol, diesel,
kerosene and lubricating oils.
 Gases such as butane, propane and acetylene. Oxygen promotes the
combustion of other materials and must be handled carefully.
 Paints containing flammable solvents, cellulose thinner or alcohol.
 Poisonous materials such as herbicides, insecticides, rat poison and sheep and
cattle dips.
 Acids and alkalies such as detergents, cleaning liquids, lye and quicklime (CaO).
 Medicines such as veterinary drugs and supplies. Some drugs may require
refrigeration.
 Wood preservatives and corrosion inhibiting paints.

Hazardous materials should always be stored in a separate location containing only

those materials. If the quantities are larger, flammable and poisonous materials should
be stored in separate rooms. Ideally each type of material should have its own storage
space, that is, its own shelf in a cupboard or a storage room, or its own room in a
cooperative or merchant store.

Storage of Fertilizers and Other Non-hazardous Materials

Some fertilizers are hydroscopic and easily pick up moisture from humid air or from the
ground. This causes them to become lumpy and to deteriorate. Cement, although not
very hydroscopic, will deteriorate if exposed to damp conditions. Other materials may be
adversely affected by prolonged exposure to high storage temperatures and therefore
must be shaded. Fertilizers and cement are normally sold in plastic lined bags offering
some degree of protection. They should be handled and stored so that the bags are not
punctured or otherwise damaged. In addition the storage conditions should be as dry as
possible. Bags should be placed on a raised platform in the store. This will allow
ventilation and prevent ground moisture from pen bating from below. The pile should be
protected from rain by a roof or some other type of watertight cover. Fertilizer can be
very corrosive to metals and should not be stored close to machinery or tools.
