words base on the given definition above it, and then write it on your answer
sheet.
 1. In this farm, treed are grown for the purpose of fruit production

Very good, Great!

C. MOTIVATION ENGAGE

I have a story of two farmers. Read and listen carefully for I will be asking questions
afterwards.
Story of Mang Tasyo and Mang Teryo
Mang Tasyo and Mang Teryo were good neighbors. They loved to plant and
eat vegetables and fruits. One day, Mang Tasyo met Mang Teryo and told him his
plan that they are going to construct vegetable gardens in their own yard. Mang
Tasyo wanted to have beautiful and proper location of his plants in his garden. So,
he decided to make a layout for his garden. While Mang Teryo did not bothered
himself on making a layout for his garden because he believed that plants would
just grow and bear fruits once it planted. Few months later, different fruits trees
and vegetables grew together in their yard. And they were both happy with their
work.

MANG TASYO MANG TERYO

1. Which garden is in good shape and beautiful?

2. Is it really important to plan a layout on your garden? Why?
3. If you are going to have your own garden, what would you do first? Why?

Guide Question:
1. What is the video you watched about?
2. What would happen if you budget your income wisely? And what might
happen if you don’t?

(The teacher translates questions into mother tongue language for better
comprehension)

Very good, great!

D. PRESENTATION Given the picture and story you have read, what do you think is our lesson today?

Unlocking of difficulties: (Literacy)

Lay-out- is a technique of planting crops, a location of the position of plants, a
 drawing of your plants positioning in specific area which gives aesthetic view on
your orchard.
Showing picture of Rambutan Plantation owned by Lorence D. Laza Jr.

If you are the owner of the farm being shown in the picture, what layout would
you make in this kind of farm?
E. DISCUSSION EXPLORE

(The teacher discuss lesson using a combination of English and mother tongue
language for better comprehension)

In order to know if your layout design is suitable to this kind of farm, you need to
study the characteristics of different lay-out design of orchard.
There are 5 different lay-out designs of orchard
1. Square Method
2. Rectangular Method
3. Quincunx or Diagonal Method
4. Equilateral triangle or Hexagonal Method
5. Contour or Terracing Method

Different Lay-Out Designs of Orchard

1. Square Method- simplest and easiest method with the same distance
measurement.

Example

Advantages: 1. Irrigation channels and paths can be made straight

2. Easy cultivation, spraying and harvesting
3. Better supervision
Disadvantages:
1. Limited trees can be planted in a given area.
2. A certain amount of space is wasted in the middle of four
Trees

2. Rectangular Method- formed from four adjacent trees that are in rectangular
shape

Example

Advantages: 1. Irrigation channels can made length and breathe-wise

2. Possible for intercropping
Disadvantages:
1. Limited trees can be planted in a given area.
2. A certain amount of space is wasted in the middle of four
Trees

3. Quincunx or Diagonal Method- trees are planted like in square method but had
additional tree in the center of each square called a “filler
 crop” (back up plants and should be green most of the time).

Example

Advantages: 1. Additional income can be earned from the filler crop.

2. Almost double the number of trees can be planted initially.
Disadvantages:
1. Skills required to lay-out the orchard.
2. Trees in between may interfere the growth of the main crop
3. Spacing of the main crop is reduced if filler crop continues
to grow

4. Equilateral triangle or Hexagonal Method- trees are planted at the corners of an

equilateral triangle, where six triangle are joined forming a
hexagon shape with seventh tree at the center.

Example

Advantages: 1. Ideal for fertile soil and with the source of water
2. More trees can be planted
3. Same distance can be maintained
4. More income can be obtained.
Disadvantages:
1. Difficult intercultural operations
2. Skills is required to lay-out the orchard

5. Contour or Terracing Method- the imaginary line connecting all points with
equal elevation across the slope is called contour done in hilly
areas by connecting all points of some elevation across slope
maintaining the space.

Example

Advantages: 1. Can be utilized in hilly areas and in leveled land

2. Helps in controlling soil erosion
3. Helps conservation of water
4. Easy path for movements on the hills slopes for various
tasks in the orchard
Disadvantages:
1. Difficult laying out of contour lines and time consuming
2. Requires special skills and instruments to make contour
lines layout the method
3. Not equal row distance and adjustments may be required in
the plant-to-plant distance.

EXPLAIN

Direction: Go quietly to each group and do the assigned group work. For five (5)
minutes present to your classmates what you did. There is a corresponding point in
the presentation of each group according to the rubrics of the group work.
(The teacher translates directions into mother tongue language for better
comprehension)

GROUP ACTIVITIES:
Rubrics for Presentation:
10pts- 80-100%- The answer is neatly written, well presented, and all team

create a rectangular method/ lay-out of mango plantation, using the picture of
mango trees.

Activity 2

the pictures of mango trees provided.
 Group 4 Activity 4
Direction: Identify the picture of the following lay-out design. Place each picture
lay-out in the box corresponding to each name.

Good job! Let’s give a round of applause to all the team for their very good
presentation of each task.

G. APPLICATION ELABORATE

Direction: Make a layout design using the method you just learned earlier and
which you think best for your area. Here, your performance will be assessed from
the rubrics below.

RUBRICS
H. GENERALIZATION Why is it important to lay-out an orchard farm?
Importance of Laying out an orchard
- is very important in such a way that it gives you easy operations like cultivation,
intercropping, irrigation, spraying of plant, protection chemicals and growth
regulators.

c. Irrigation channels and paths can be made straight.
d. Operations like plowing, harrowing, cultivating and harvesting becomes
easy.

that the distance between rows will be more than the distance between plants in
the same row.

5. The following are few common steps in the layout procedure for different
system except one.
