Introductory Message

W elcome to TVL 11 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production NC III)!

The Learning Activity Sheet i n T L E / T V L – A F A ( A g r i c u l t u r a l C r o p


P r o d u c t i o n N C I I I ) is a product of the collaborative efforts of the
Schools Division of Aklan and DepEd Regional Office VI - W estern 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 in TLE/TVL – AFA (Agricultural Crop


Production NC III) 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 TVL 11 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production NC III) 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 TVL 11 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production NC III) 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

II. Background Information for Learners


Weeds are among the major groups of pest that farmers always
consider as limiting factors in rice production. If not controlled, weeds can
reduce yield of rice from 44% to 96% by way of competitor to the limited
resources for growth and development such as nutrients, sunlight, and water.
(Donayne, Dindo King M. et.al.2018)

In this activity sheet, concepts on characteristics of rice weeds,


weed seed reserve (seed bank), prolific seed producers, and classification
of weeds are discussed. In addition, you shall undertake practical
application of these concepts by identifying the different weed species in your
farm or backyard. You will realize that weeds classification is very important in
selecting, designing, planning, and implementing a cost–effective and
environment-friendly weed management strategies and techniques.

Characteristics of Rice Weeds

They are persistent.

 Prolific seed producers


 Can perpetuate their own species
 Efficient seed dispersal
 Extensive seed reserve in soil (seed bank)
 Dormancy
4
Weed Seed Reserve (Seed bank)

2
 In 1 m area at 0-15 cm depth =80,407 weeds emerged
804,070,000 viable weed seeds per ha. (Vega and Sierra, 1970)
2
 Weed seeds planted in 1 m at 0-15 cm depth =497,051 weeds emerged
(Kim, 1986)
 Study on 25-year viability of buried weed and crop seeds:
Highest % germination observed was in weed seeds and none on
crops (Pancho, n.d.)

Weeds: Prolific seed producers

Classification of Weeds

 Life cycle
Annuals – complete life cycle in less than a year
Perennials –complete life cycle more than a year
 Habitat
Upland – favor well-drained soil
Lowland – favor moist to saturated soil
 Morphology
Broadleaf Sedge Grass

Broadleaves
 Leaves are generally broad and flat,
 usually dominate transplanted rice,
 Members to belong to many families,
 Leaves are fully expanded with netted veins,
Leaves flowers, stems, and branches are broadly arranged in
various shapes, colors, and structures

2. Mimosa Makahiya Mimosaceae

3. Physalis Tino –tino Solanaceae


Angulata L.

Sedges
 Triangular stems
 Not as competitive as grasses but can reduce yields if they
become dense
 Member of the family Cyperaceae
 Leaves are also long and narrow but do not have ligules and
auricles
 Leaf veins are also parallel but the leaf sheaths are continuous
around stem
 Stem are triangular in shape and have no nodes and internodes

Grasses
 Similar characteristics with rice
 They don’t have ligules and/or auricles
 Dominant and competitive
 Example: Antena
 Members of the family Graminae (Poaceae)
 Leaves are long and narrow, stem are round and hollow inside

IV. Activity Proper

Activity 1

Direction/Instruction: Visit a farm or backyard garden in your locality.


Select an area of 1m x 1m and identify the weeds present. List down the
identified weeds by writing its local or English name and count the total
number of weeds identified. You may seek help from other farmers in
identifying the weeds. Observe health and safety protocol in doing the
activity.

Activity 2

Direction/Instruction: From the identified weeds in Activity 1, classify the


weeds according to their Morphology (Grasses, Sedges, and Broadleaves).
Write your answer following the table below. Observe health and safety
protocol in doing the activity.

Grasses Sedges Broadleaves

Activity 3
Direction/Instruction: After identifying the weed morphology from Activity 2,
you will now classify the weeds according to their life Cycle and Habitat, annual
or Perennials Upland weeds or Lowland weeds. Write the name of the weeds
and check the corresponding column below.

Name of
Perennials Annual Upland Low land
Weeds

Activity 4
Direction: Complete the table by writing the missing scientific name, Local
name, Family of weeds.
1. Saluyot Tiliaceae
2. Mimosa pudica L. Mimosaceae
3. Physalis Angulata L. Tino –tino

Exercise 1
Direction: From the reading resources Weeds: Prolific seed producers, write
down at least five (5) weeds species that you remember and how many seeds
per plant can be produced. Write your answer in the table below.

Weeds Species Seeds/Plants

V. Reflection:

In your understanding, why do farmers consider weeds as major group of


pest? Why there is a need to control weeds?
