Republic Act 8293, section 176 states that: No copyright shall subsist in any
work of the Government of the Philippines. However, prior approval of the government
agency or office wherein the work is created shall be necessary for exploitation of
such work for profit. Such agency or office may, among other things, impose as a
condition the payment of royalties.
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.

Quarter 2, Week 1 -2
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.)
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
5
Broadleaves example:
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

Example: Antena
Members of the family Graminae (Poaceae)
Leaves are long and narrow, stem are round and hollow inside

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.

Exercise 1
Direction: From the reading resources Weeds: Prolific seed producers, write
