F. Motivation

Activity 1. Identify each picture with their

corresponding name of fertilizers.
Based in our activity, what do you think our lesson
for today?
About fertilizer, ma’am

Yes! You are right!

Now, in your own idea, what is fertilizer?

A fertilizer is a substance that is added
to soil or plants to enhance their growth
and health. It typically contains essential
nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potassium.

Very good!

Vegetables, or any crop, cannot live on water and

soil alone. Nutrients required for vegetable growth
may not always be present in the soil. Thus, applying
fertilizers has become a common practice.

“There are two types of fertilizer, can someone give Dry and Water-Soluble, ma’am
me those two types?”

Very good. Thank you!

Dry Fertilizers- plants and animal material which

have undergone complete decomposition, has soft
like texture.

Examples are?

Compost

Vermicompost

Very good Bokashi

“Second type of Fertilizer is Water Soluble, can

anyone read?

Organic fertilizers in liquid form

“Thank you”

Examples are;

 IMO’s
 FAA
 FPJ
 FFJ
 OHN
 LABS

“There are two types on how to apply Organic

Fertilizer, Basal and Foliar application”

Can someone explain what is basal application?

Basal application is fertilizers are applied

That is correct
directly to the soil by mixing.
How about Foliar Application?

That is also correct Foliar Application is fertilizer is applied

directly to the leaves usually by spraying.
When do you apply fertilizers?
  During land preparation
 During transplanting
 2 weeks after transplanting
Note!  Throughout the growing stage
That the frequency of fertilization varies for every
vegetable type and variety. To succeed at fertilizer
application, keep tabs on industry knowledge and
practices.
