WEEK 2: CULTURAL PRACTICES

Overview:

CONTENT
 Pre-planting Operations
 Planting Operations
 Post-planting Operations

Cultural Practices: Cultural practices are the various activities carried out on the farm before, during and after planting to ensure proper growth and establishment of crops.Cultural practices are classified into: pre-planting, planting, post-planting operations.
Pre-planting operations are the operations carried out before planting, while planting is the sowing of seeds and post-posting operations include thinning, supplying, irrigation, manuring, mulching and weeding.

PRE-PLANTING OPERATIONS
A. Landclearing: this is the removal of pre-existing vegetation on the farm land. It is carried out by cutting the vegetation and grasses with cutlass or hoes; and trees fell with axes. It can also be done mechanically with the aid of bulldozers and tree pullers.
B. Stumping: This is the removal of stumps by digging them out manually using cutlasses and axes. It can also be done mechanically by using bulldozer. Stumps are the left over cut trees on the farm left on the soil surface.
C. Farm layout: Farm layout is a judicious way of using the farmland where the plots are
divided into sections and each section is used to give maximum yield.
D. Land preparation: this is ensuring the soil is put in the best condition and state suited to the crop needs. The process of preparing the soil involves carring out tillage, making beds, making heaps, making ridges, leveling soil after stumping etc.

Tillage is the breaking or turning of the soil with a simple tool or farm machine after the land has been cleared in preparation for planting crops. It can bedone manually with a hoe or mechanically with a tractor – driven plough.

Ploughing is cutting through the soil and making it into lumps or clods of soil. It is called primary tillage. While secondary tillage (harrowing) is the use of harrow to break down the large clods of soil into fine particles and making it ready for ridging. Other implements used in carrying out tillage are spring tine cultivator, mould board plough etc.

Importance of tillage
1. It loosens the soil and allows air and water to reach the roots of plants.
2. It allows easy penetration of roots into the soil
3. Plant nutrients are brought to the reach of the plant root
4. Tillage helps to destroy pest by exposing them to the sun
5. It ensures proper mixture of manure and fertilizer with the soil

Ridginginvolves the making of ridges on the farm, sometimes heaps are also made to serve the purpose of ridges on slopes ridges are made across, with the ridges made at intervals to check erosion, ridges also help to provide water for plant use and aids root penetration and establishment of crops.

EVALUATION
1. What is land clearing?
2. Define stumping.
3. Define tillage and state three importance of tillage.
4. What is ridging?
5. Differentiate between primary and secondary tillage.

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
1. Clear the school farm using cutlass and till the land
2. Do the layout.
3. Make ten ridges in preparation for maize cultivation.
4. State three importance of tillage
5. Differentiate between primary and secondary tillage.
PLANTING OPERATIONS – DISTANCE, DATE, SEED RATE, NURSERY AND NURSERY PRACTICE
CONTENT
• Definition of planting operation
• Planting method
• Basic considerations in planting operation
• Nursery and Nursery operation
PLANTING OPERATION: These are the operations carried out when inserting the planting materials (cutting or seeds) into the soil. When seeds are sown in the soil, they develop root and shoots, this is called germinationand the young plants that emerge are called seedlings.

A seed when planted undergoes the following processes.
1. Germination: the process whereby the embryo of a seed resumes growth under favourable conditions.
2. Emergence: this refers to the appearance of a seedling above soil level.

Conditions necessary for germination of seeds are
1. Adequate moisture
2. Viable seed (living embryo)
3. Optimum temperature
4. Adequate air

Methods of sowing
1. In-situ (directly into the field/farm land)
2. Nursery
In-situ planting/sowing is sowing directly in the field on flats (plain land) ridges or garden beds e.g. of crops sown in-situ are maize, okra, cowpea, millet etc.

Sowing/Planting methods
1. Drilling: sowing a seed by drilling with stick or knife, followed by dropping seeds and covering them.
2. Broadcasting: sowing of seeds by spreading it broadly on prepared seed bed
3. Dibbling: sowing of seeds up the bed at the planting point only and placing the seeds at the correct depth.

BASIC CONSIDERATIONS IN PLANTING OPERATIONS
1. Planting space/distance
2. Planting time
3. Planting depth
4. Number of seed
5. Viability of seed
Planting space: This is the space between a sown or planted seed and the next. It is the distance between two plants stand on the field. Planting is usually in rows and the distance between plants on the same row is called within row spacing (intra row spacing)while the distance between plants in two adjacent rows is called between row spacing (inter row spacing).

Planting time:This is the time of planting or sowing seeds in which the crop can thrive or perform well. This is largely dependent on rainfall.

Planting depth: This is the distance of the sown seed in the soil from the soil surface
Number of seeds: This is the amount of seeds sown per hole per planting point (position)

Seed viability: This is the life in the seed or deadness of the seed.

NURSERY AND NURSERY OPERATIONS
Nursery is a special place prepared for raising seedlings which are later taken to the field for proper planting (transplanting).

Seedlings are grown in nursery beds, seed trays or boxes, basket or polythene bags may be used as boxes. E.g. of such crops are cocoa, kola, tomatoes, citrus etc.

Why seeds are raised in nurseries:
1. The seeds are tiny hence cannot be handled easily and sown as required
2. The seedlings are weak and may not survive in field. They require protection from sunlight and rainfall.
3. They are better protected from pest in the nursery
4. So as to select the healthiest or seedling with best vigor for transplanting.

EVALUATION
1. What is germination?
2. Define sowing in-situ
3. What is planting space?
4. Mention two reasons why seeds are raised in the nursery.
5. State three conditions for seed germination.
