Site Selection

The major factors to consider in establishing a farm site are the availability of water supply, suitability of farm crops, investment opportunities

2
New cards

Site Selection

Look at the technical aspects, which includes soil, topography, and climate requirements for crops, this guaranties greater yields of crop

3
New cards

Field Layout

A good farm arrangement leads to efficient and profitable farming experience

4
New cards

Field Layout

A farm layout is determined according to the actions implemented, the structures and infrastructure required by these activities, and the natural resources and natural landscape of the area

5
New cards

Flexibility of the farm location

The location of the farm and its layout should provide flexibility

6
New cards

Use a contour map

Helps determine the most appropriate way to layout the field and the irrigation system

7
New cards

Water reservoir

The longer the distance of the water supply, the higher the capital and maintenance and water

8
New cards

Financial position of the farm owner

The amount invested for facilities and equipment somehow influence the yields of the farm

9
New cards

Land Preparation and Improvement

To ensure the long-term success of the plantation, there are certain actions that need to be execute which includes land preparation and improvement

10
New cards

De-bushing

bush clearing, removal of stones and rocks, ripping and leveling of the soil are some of

the actions done to prepare the land area

11
New cards

Tillage

Tilling the soil helps in germinating seeds, controlling weeds, making the soil capable of absorbing more more water, mixing manure and fertilizer uniformly, and increasing the soil depth by removing the hard pan through the process of disturbing, opening, and turning over of the soi

12
New cards

Rainfed Farming

sustain a crop by direct rainfall

13
New cards

Rainfed Farming

natural application of watering soil prevents contamination of food products

14
New cards

Irrigation

opposite of rainfed farming

15
New cards

Irrigation

artificial application of water to the soil by means of tubes, pumps, sprays

16
New cards

Manual Irrigation

water is distributed across the land through manual labor and using water cans

17
New cards

Surface Irrigation

means the water is depressed over and across the land by gravity and there is no

mechanical pump involved

18
New cards

Surface Irrigation

considered to be the most popular form of irrigation

19
New cards

Surface Irrigation

sometimes referred to as flood irrigation

20
New cards

Localized Irrigation

means the water is spread under low pressure, through a pipe network and is

applied to each plant, thus, minimizing water loss through soil evaporation

21
New cards

Drip Irrigation

a type of localized irrigation in which drops of water are delivered at or near the root of

the plants

22
New cards

Drip Irrigation

sometimes called trickle irrigation

23
New cards

Drip Irrigation

works by applying water slowly and directly to the soil

24
New cards

Drip Irrigation

evaporation and runoff are minimized

25
New cards

Drip Irrigation

considered to be the most efficient irrigation system

26
New cards

Sprinkler Irrigation

can be associated to water rainfall

27
New cards

Sprinkler Irrigation

 water is distributed in the field through a system of pipes

28
New cards

Sprinkler Irrigation

water passes through the spray heads, which releases small water drops that cover

the entire soil surface

29
New cards

Planting Crops

Planting requires basic understanding of site selection, farm layout, land preparation, and water system Installation

30
New cards

Transplanting

method of planting seeds first in a seed box

31
New cards

Direct seeding

method of planting crops where seeds are planted directly on the field

32
New cards

Broadcasting

where seeds or grain are scattered and spread over a well-prepared soil

33
New cards

Hill planting

method suitable for large vine fruits and vegetable seeds

34
New cards

Drilling or line sowing

done by dropping the seeds into the soil using seed drill
