Lesson: An orchard is a piece of land where trees or shrubs are maintained for food or commercial production. Likewise, an orchard features big gardens for aesthetic and productive purposes. Orchards are often concentrated near a water source. Orchard owners mostly concentrate on a species of trees or.
Types of Orchards 1. Fruit Orchards- Fruit orchards include any facility focused on growing tree-bearing fruits. Citrus trees, such as those bearing lemons, limes or oranges, may be grown all together in large citrus orchards, or individually in smaller facilities. Plantations that grow fruit-bearing bushes generally don't fall under this category. These include fruits not grown on trees. Example of Fruit Orchards- Banana Plantation, Mango Plantation, Citrus (Calamansi) Plantation, Durian Plantation,
2. Nut Orchards- Nut orchards include a large variety of facilities that produce nut bearing trees. These include orchards that grow popular nuts like cashews, walnuts and almonds. This category also includes cocoa and chocolate-producing nuts, as well as coconuts. Some orchard owners produce pine trees for their edible cashew nuts.
3. Seed Orchards -Seed orchards focus primarily on growing trees that produce seeds rather than nuts or fruit. These seeds are then sold to commercial distributors for resale to the public in small seed packets. They may also be sold to large agricultural facilities or used for food production. Seed orchards can further be divided into two categories based on how they are established. In a seedling orchard, trees are selected through controlled pollination. In a clonal seed orchard, seeds are distributed through methods such as cutting and tissue culture, resulting in an easier harvest overall.
Proper way of Propagating Trees and Fruit-Bearing Trees
1.Budding- The process by which a scion with a bud is inserted into the rootstock to unite and grow as one. It is done by choosing and cutting a bud from one plant and attaching it to another plant. The bud must fit well to the mother plant. When the bud grows big enough it will become part of the plant.
2. Grafting-In this method, a new plant is grown by inserting a scion into the stock so that they will form a union and grow together. The scion and the rootstock should come from the same specie or family. They should be compatible for them to grow permanently.
3. Marcotting or Air Layering - Air layering is a propagation method for woody plants that allows you to root branches while still attached to the parent plant. It is useful for plants that are hard to propagate by cutting. Sources of Fruit-bearing Trees Fruit-bearing trees are available and sold in different stages of growth and ready to be transplanted. Among their sources are: • Commercial Nursery – Run by private individuals usually offering landscaping materials and services. • Agricultural Institution – A school that offers a course related to agriculture and other plant studies. • Department of Agriculture – Responsible for any agricultural activities in terms of vegetables and fruits. • Bureau of Plant Industry – They develop scientific improvement for each plant species in a locality and adjacent places.
Ways to Care for Seedlings
• Always use fertile soil medium for planting. • Water the seedlings every morning and afternoon. • Check for possible pest infestation and apply immediate remedy. • Arrange the seedlings in an organized manner. Make sure to follow proper layout of guidelines for a convenient working area.
Considerations in Preparing an Orchard Lay out
1. Prepare the land-Till the soil adequately but do not over-cultivate to the point of destroying earthworms and other beneficial fungi. 2. Create a planting system- Compute the number of trees to be planted. Examples: square shape pattern, rectangular shape pattern, triangular shape pattern, quincunx pattern. 3. Establish a greenhouse- This will serve as the nursery of the seedlings. 4. Check the soil according to type- The type of soil will help you decide what trees to plant. 5. Ensure water source and drainage- The site must have an abundant supply of water and good drainage to ensure availability of air in the soil. 6. Sufficient sunlight- The site must be exposed to morning and afternoon sunlight to help maintain the food making process of the plant (photosynthesis) 7. Availability of fertilizer -Fertilizer is a substance added to soil to improve the plant health condition. 8. Accessibility to market-The plan site should be near the market and transportation must be available to bring products to the market.
