 What’s New

To start this module on the use of technology in the conduct of survey to find
out topics about planting trees and fruit-bearing trees, read the short story below to
inspire your interest.

My First Planted Tree

A family from Manila has decided to go back to the place where they used to
reside as married couple in the province. Their elder son, Chino and the rest of their
children are enrolled in an elementary school near the place where they live.
Chino is a Grade 6 pupil at the present school year. He is a dedicated learner
and is attending his classes regularly. On his way to their school, he observes that
there are trees planted to a farm nearby. This farm is an orchard planted with
Rambutan and owned by a local farmer.
Chino becomes more interested to know about this tree when he sees that it
bears fruits. Then he says to himself, “I like to plant this kind of tree in our backyard”.
But he does not know how to plant this fruit-bearing tree.
One day after his class, Chino visits the farm to meet the owner or any
caretaker to do a survey about the tree being planted in the orchard. He prepares
some questions to be answered by the owner or caretaker of the farm. When he
arrives at the place, it is timely that the owner comes to visit his orchard.
Chino starts his interview with the owner regarding how to plant and
propagate the tree. He then knows that the name of this fruit-bearing tree is
Rambutan.
The owner is happy having been interviewed by a pupil because his work is
appreciated and has caused pupils to be attracted with planting trees. He teaches
Chino how to plant Rambutan and care for it to bear more fruits. He also tells his
story on how to become a successful farmer. Finally, to the owner’s excitement, he
gives Chino ten (10) pieces of grafted RAMBUTAN seedlings.
Chino goes home with full energy and eager to plant his first tree. He takes
care his planted RAMBUTAN according to what the owner has told him. As the days
goes by, Chino is waiting to see his planted trees to bear much fruits and enjoy it to
be shared to his family.

As a grade six pupil, would you like also to become a successful farmer someday?

Fruit Tree Trees

From the short story you read, what caused Chino to become interested in
planting trees? What did he do to start planting the tree he liked? To deepen your
understanding on this lesson, study the next activities.
Farmers should conduct survey to have a better knowledge in planting and
propagating trees, what the market demands at the present time, and how some
orchard farmers become successful in what they do.
Survey is gathering of data or information from others through internet or any
social media; reading books, magazines or brochures; interviews to farmers and
listening to radio broadcast or watching tv programs. Data gathered from these
activities can be used to increase production and profit.

Conducting Effective Online Surveys

With the use of the present technology, surveys have become fast to help you
quickly reach your target respondents and to participate in your activity at a much
lower cost. Learn from the suggested ways on how to do a survey with the aid of
technology given below.

Steps for Conducting Effective Online Surveys

1. Define Your Survey’s Objectives

Defining what you really want to know and stating the problem/s you need to
solve are important in identifying your objectives. Decide what project do you like to
have. Look or imagine what would be the result of your project and keep your
objectives narrow and simple.

5
2. Identify Your Target Audience

Who are the participants in your survey? Start in your existing community
and consider your present work and prospects in the markets. Proper sizes of survey
samples are to be identified to properly analyze the results and how you act on them.

3. Prioritize Your Questions

Survey questions must be specific and must be related to your goals and
objectives set. What attitudes or insights do you want to measure from the
participants and what answers or expected results will help you make more informed
decisions are to be considered in preparing our survey questionnaires. Always
provide options for participants to choose from to facilitate expected outcomes.

4. Test the Survey

Test thoroughly your survey forms in many PC platforms, operating systems,

various web browsers, etc. before you send it and broadcast the survey to your
chosen sample participants. At times, the use of technology is unpredictable so think
ahead on how to troubleshoot the process.

5. Communicate the Survey’s Purpose

Inform your survey participants about its purpose and how these data become
useful in improving the activities, products or services you have. This can be done
by sending email to announce the survey to your expected respondents.

6. Analyze and Act Upon the Results

As soon as your survey forms have been published online, results will begin
to drop. Gather these results and begin analyzing the data as needed in
spreadsheets, presentation programs and statistical software. When survey results
analysis is done, compare it with your objectives to come up a final, specific, and
attainable action to realize your goals.

6
 After learning how to use technology in doing survey, you are now ready to
find out the lessons included in this module.

A. Elements to be observed in planting trees and fruit-bearing trees

1. Proper care of the plants and soil

Trees and fruit-bearing trees need a wider space for planting to grow and be
productive than ornamental plants and vegetables because the roots of the trees
expand sideward and move downward. Here are some ways of caring plants and soil:

1.1 Choose the right place for planting.

Farmers should select a place away from thickly populated areas, roots of the
plants have enough space to spread out, and near to different bodies of water like
lakes, swamps and rivers. The kind of soil as well as the amount of sunlight that the
trees can have should also be considered.

1.2. Select seeds that best suited for both soil and the season.
Good quality seeds came from high yielding mother trees, so farmers should
be skilled in choosing the right seeds in order to gain more products.
Plant trees according to their season of planting. A good season in planting is
the rainy season where there is abundance of water. A farmer should prepare the
soil and seeds before planting.

1.3. Add enough fertilizer into the soil.

Trees and fruit-bearing trees need vitamins and minerals for their growth.
These elements are found in the soil but are improved when mixed with either organic
or inorganic fertilizers. Organic fertilizer is safer and more economical to use while
using inorganic fertilizer or commercial fertilizer should be regulated because
overuse of it can damage the soil.

1.4. Take care of the soil and the plants regularly.

Proper care of soil and young trees or fruit-bearing trees is another element in
planting tree. This can be done by removing the grasses or weeds around each tree,
so it cannot compete in getting the nutrients from the soil. Use organic pesticides or
apply appropriate fungicide or insecticide to properly manage and control the pest,
if possible

7
 2. Methods of Planting

There are two methods in planting trees. Direct-seeding is a method of

planting seeds directly into the ground or plot. Indirect or Transplanting Method is
planting seeds in a seed box or plastic container, fully grown seedlings are
transplanted to the ground or plot. Seeds to be planted are seeds with high
percentage of germination, correct moisture content, and free from seed pest,
diseases, and other impurities. When planting seedlings, select those that have
uniform height and having varietal purity.

5Indirect Method 6Direct Method

3. The Seed Germination

Seed germination is the development or growth of a seed into a young plant
that influence harvest and the quality of tree products. This process needs water or
moisture, warmth or temperature, oxygen, and sunlight for seeds to grow in either a
seed box, plastic container or other wrappers.

 4. Preparation of seedlings before transplanting

Transplanting is the process where seedling is transferred from the seed box
or other containers to the ground or plot for growth, development, and production.

To avoid mortality in transplanting seedlings and to attain a higher rate of

survival, the following processes are to be kept in mind:

1. Thinning- This process accelerates the circulation of air and provide

greater area for seedlings to make them stronger and healthier. This is
done by removing the crowded seedling in the seed box.

9
 2. Pricking- These refers to transferring of seedlings from one seedbox to
another to provide more space for proper development of seedling. Water
the seedling before pricking to make the soil smooth.

9 10

3. Hardening- The process can be done in 7 to 15 days before transplanting,

to make the tissue of the plants harder to survive the rigors of
transplanting.

 B. Market Demands for Fruits

12 13

14 15

The Philippine fruit industry contributes much in the growth of its economy.
The leading species grown in the country are Mango, Calamansi, Durian, Jackfruit,
and Lanzones, based on volume of production which are available all year round in
the market.
In line with growing health awareness and changing lifestyles, demand for the
consumption of fruits is increasing.
Market demands for trees are created not only by their fruits but also by the
seeds and seedlings farmers need in planting. Before deciding to market fresh fruits,
growers should determine the time of harvesting, tips for storing, and the kind of
marketing to do. The place where to market the fruits should be clear, and potential
customers are to be identified in order to know how big the market demand is.

Harvesting, Storing and Marketing Fruits:
Harvesting fruits are usually done through picking when it is mature enough
and ready to be sold to the market fresh and in good condition. Mangoes are
harvested before it ripens; Pomelos and Chicos should be harvested at the right size
and mature enough while Dalandan are harvested when they are still green.
In determining the exact time of harvesting, consider the price of fruits in the
market. When there is plenty of fruits available, the price is low while harvest
quantity is limited, the price is high.
Correct storing of fruits must be observed to maintain its good condition. There
are perishable fruits like Avocado, Chico, Mango etc. These fruits should be sold
while they are slightly ripened to avoid losses due to decay.
Length of storage of fruits before bringing to the market matters to make it taste
better like Pomelo, but there are also fruits that need to be marketed immediately
after the harvest.
Here are some tips in storing fruits: Do not mix the fruits, classify them
according to ripeness, size, and shape. Use clean and durable wicker basket to store
fruits in a clean, cool, and dry place away from ants, cockroach, and other harmful
insects. Handle the fruits carefully especially when placing them in a box. Remember
that, better products have higher price! Think of a place where fruits are to be
marketed. Transport fruits to reach the market before it deteriorates to have better
profit.

C. Famous Orchard Farm in the Country

To be more encouraged in planting fruit–bearing trees, read the following

information on some orchard growers in our country:

• 16Rosa Magsaysay owns a 12.5-hectare

mango-orchard in the coastal province of
Zambales, home to the Philippine Carabao
Mango. The farm is an agritourism
destination and is open to walk-in guests
who want to experience the ambiance of a
real functional farm. David and Rosa
taught the values of hardwork and
perseverance to their children and the younger generations. These values,
coupled with a strong sense of social responsibility and integrity, became the
foundation of the family, with the farm being a constant reminder of these
important lessons throughout the years. Today, Rosa’s Farm is more than just
a venue which provides you with the sweetest mangoes nurtured with
patience, care, and true love.
