Objective:
demonstrates scientific ways of propagating fruit-
bearing trees
Do you think, how much is the fruits, vegetables in the
marker now a days?
Some of it is so expensive. This lesson will teach your
how to propagate the fruit bearing trees so that you can
enjoy fruits even if you will not buy in the market.
Modern technology and research have gone a long way,
especially in the field of agriculture. There are different
agricultural products today that did not exist long ago.
We now have seedless grapes, oranges, and
watermelons. There are also various plants with leaves
and flowers of different colors that come from just one
plant. Fruit-bearing trees can bear fruits within a short
period. Some can bear fruits all year round. These
advancements are made possible due to agricultural
technology called plant propagation.
Plant propagation is a method of reproducing,
increasing, or multiplying plant species. It is being
practiced because of the following reasons:
1. to increase the number of plant species;
2. to produce plant varieties that are resistant to some
insect pests and diseases;
3. to evolve new and better varieties of plants suited to
different conditions of soil and climate;
4. to accelerate and at the same time lessen the bearing
age of plants; and 5. to avert the extinction of some
plant species
I. Tools and Equipment in Plant Propagation
Tools and equipment are important in the
processes of propagating plants especially
those fruit trees being grown in the orchard.
The use of tools and equipment makes the
work become easier and proper procedures in
caring trees are executed properly.
Put a check ( / ) before the number if the statement talks
about the safety measure that the grade 6 pupils will
follow and x if it is not.
______1. Wear protective equipment while working.
______2. Make sure not to follow instructions in using
tools and equipment.
______3. Do not take a bath before and after working.
______4. Take care of tools and equipment to last long
and maintain their efficiency.
______5. Do not be destructed try to focus and work
properly.

Hunt the words that are related to plant
propagation. Try to describe how they are
done.
II. Scientific Ways of Propagating Fruit-Bearing
Trees
A. Sexual propagation is a propagation by seed or
spores. The plants will become fertilized and produce
the seed that will grow into a new plant with
characteristics of both parent plants. Because of the
traits given by the parent plants, sexual propagation
offers these advantages:
1. the only method when creating new varieties or
cultivars;
2. the easiest and cheapest way of growing plants;
3. a way of getting rid of diseases; and
4. some plants are only able to be produced via seed
B. Asexual Propagation is a process
of regenerating a new plant by taking a
part of another plant to develop. This
results to have a new plant that is
identical to its parent plant.
III. Healthy and Safety Measures in Propagating Fruit-Bearing
Trees
1. Wear protective equipment while working to ensure your
body protection.
2. Make sure to follow instructions in using tools and
equipment.
3. Always check if the tools and equipment are working
properly before using them. 4. Do not be distracted try to
focus and work properly. 5. Use the right position in working;
be sure that you are comfortable in your position.
6. Seek adult’s advice if necessary.
7. Take a bath before and after working; make sure that you
are fresh and ready to work.
Choose the letter of the best answer. Write
the chosen letter on a separate sheet of
paper.

bigger in size. It is used in digging and
preparing the soil for the plants.
a. bolo b. fork
c. shovel d. hoe
2. A tool with a curved blade used for loosening
the ground and taking up small plants.
a. trowel b. bolo
c. hoe d. shovel
3. Used for cutting small branches including the
unnecessary branches.

Here’s the method of asexual propagating.
Different types of Asexual Propagation
a. Cutting. A part of a single or mother plant is cut to be planted as cutting
for purpose of multiply its variety.
Example of fruit- bearing tree that can be planted by cutting is Siniguelas.
b. Marcotting or Air layering. Stimulates the stem or
branch of a mother plant to develop roots while still
connected to it. Materials:
Knife or cutter
Plastic (transparent)
Straw
soil or coco husk
Steps in Marcotting:
Hand-on activity:
Do the Marcotting process with your
groupmates.
Answer the following:
• In cleaning the garden with falling leaves we use
__________ to gather it. ________________________is
used to water the plants in the garden.
