CYCLE
Processes

Plant care

Farming cycle is the cycle of activities related to the growth and harvest of
a crop. The cycle starts with crop selection. The crop election process include
different laborious activities like surveying of prices of different crops, market
demand, sale potential, budget requirement, feasibility of the crop, and crop
productivity.

To produce higher crop yield, it depends on different farm activities. Farm

activities needed capital to finance cost of production such as farm inputs and
labor requirements essential in farming cycle. Every stages of farming cycle is
composed of different inputs, labor requirement, and workers. Some of the farm
input needs are the following: equipment, planting materials (seed, etc.),
fertilizers, and pesticides, etc.

4
 The stages of crop management involved different services that needed
farm worker to do a task in production. The farm owner capital is relevant in the
process of farming cycle dependent on crop requirements. As we see in the table

What is It

How to determine the cost of your production?

The cost of production is the peso value of all your inputs in growing
a specific crop. To produce a hectare of corn, the inputs needed would
include a number of seed, fertilizer, labor, machinery and time. Each of
these units has a peso value. Add them up, and you have the cost
production of the crop.
Determining the cost of the production of your crop is very
important on knowing how well your farm business is doing. It enables you
how to evaluate how efficiently resources are being utilized, to predict
how your business will respond to specific changes, and how to make
other useful decisions for attaining your goals.

WHAT’S MORE ABOUT NUMBERS?

Unit Conversion

It is very important to be able to understand measurements. The SI

(Systems International) system of units (often referred to as the metric system)
is the official system for measurements in nearly all countries of the world. A
conversion factor is a number used to change one set of units to another, by
multiplying or dividing. When conversion is necessary, the appropriate
conversion factor to an equal value must be used.

A unit cancellation table is developed by using known units, conversion

factors, and the fact that a unit of measure divided by the same unit. The table is
set up so all the units cancel except for the desired unit. To cancel out a unit, the
same unit must be in the numerator and in the denominator. When you multiply
across the table, the top number will be divided by the bottom number, and the
result will be the answer in the desired units.

In farming, we will only use the simplest and the common quantities and
units used by the farmers in computing the farm activities.

Conversion factors for fundamental quantities:

a. for length:1 m= 100 cm; 1000 m= 1km
b. for mass:1 kg= 1000g
c. for time: 1 min=60s; 1h=60min
Conversion factors for derived quantities:
a. for surface area:10000 m2 =1ha
b. for volume: 1m3=1000L

Let’s do some examples:

12
1. 50m = _____cm
50m x 100 cm = 500 x 100 cm =500 cm
1m 1
2. 5000 kg = ______ g
5000kg x 1000g (by definition) = 5000 x 1000 g = 5,000,000 g
1 kg
3. 2hr=______ s
2h x 60min x 60s = 7,200s
1 1min
2
4. 5000m = _____ha
5000m2 x 1ha = 5000 ha = ½ ha
2
10000m 10000
5. 3m3= _____ L

3m3 x 1000L = 3000L

WHY ARE SHAPES IMPORTANT?

A shape is defined as a form of an object or its outline, outer boundary, or

surface area. Farm lands come in different shapes.

Table 1 shows some names of some 2-D shapes (length L and width W), their
properties, formulas in finding surface area.

2. Rectangle: length= L= 25 cm formula: A = L x W
width = W= 30 cm = 25 cm x 30 cm = 750 cm2
b. Calculate the surface areas of the rhombus and the parallelogram.
1. Rhombus: base = 2 cm height = 2 cm formula:
A = base x height

shapes.

Let’s do some calculations.

a. Calculate the surface area of the triangle.
base = 4 cm height = 3 cm
Formula: A = 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 4 cm x 3 cm = 6
cm2 b. Calculate the surface area of a circle. Given Answer
Circle: d =3 cm formula 1: A = 1/4 ( x d²) = 1/4 (3.14 x d x
d)
= 1/4 (3.14 x 3 cm x 3 cm) = 7.065cm2
formula 2: A= r2; r=.5d =.5 (3cm)= 1.5cm
=3.14 (1.5cm)2= 7.065cm2
VOLUME

A volume (V) is the content of a body or object. In the case of a box, it has
a certain length (l), width (w) and height (h). With these three data, the volume
of the box can be calculated as:

V (box) = length x width x height = l x w x h

14
 Calculate the volume of the above box.
Given: length = 5 cm width = 4 cm height = 3 cm
Formula: V = length x width x height = 5 cm x 4 cm x 3 cm = 60 cm 3
The volume of this box is expressed in cubic centimeters (written as cm 3).
Volumes can also be expressed in cubic decimeters (dm 3), cubic meters (m3),
etc.

The Order of Operations: PEMDAS

In carrying out mathematical operations, a common technique should be

remembered. This is known with an acronym "PEMDAS" which stands for
"Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction".
This tells the sequence operations. This means that there is a need to simplify
first what inside the parentheses followed by exponents before doing
multiplication, division, and subtraction.

SURFACE AREAS OF CANAL CROSS-SECTIONS AND FARMS

The surface area formulas are usually used in determining solutions to two
common practical problems that are often met in the field.

A. Surface areas of canal cross-sections

What’s New

Can you name these measuring instruments? What specifically do

they measure?

17
The "up-sidedown" trapezium is the most common shape of a canal cross-
section. Canal cross section

` The canal cross-cross section has a trapezium shape which covers the
area (A B C D) as shown in the above illustration. To calculate the surface area,
the formula to solve for the area of trapezium is therefore being used.

Surface area of the canal cross-section = 0.5 (base + top line) x canal depth =
0.5 (b
+ a) x h

where:

base (b) = bottom width of the canal

top line (a) = top width of the canal

canal depth (h) = height of the canal (from the bottom of the canal to the top of
the embankment)

B. Wetted cross-section of a canal

The area covered by line (A B C D) is called the wetted canal cross-section

or wetted cross-section. It also has a trapezium shape and the formula to
calculate its surface area is:

18
Surface area of the wetted canal cross-section = 0.5 (base + top line) x water
depth = 0.5 (b + a1) x h1

where:
base (b) = bottom width of the canal top line (a1) = top width of the water level
water depth (h1) = the height or depth of the water in the canal (from the
bottom of the canal to the water level). Let’s take this example.

Canal cross-section: base (b) =2m; top line (a)

=5m; canal depth (h) = 1.5m
Formula: A = 0.5 x (b + a) x h = 0.5 x (2 m + 5 m) x 1.5m = 5.25 m 2
Canal wetted cross-section:
base (b) = 2 m; top line (a1) = 4 m; water depth (h1) =1.00 m
Formula: A = 0.5 x (b + a1) x h = 0.5 x (2 m + 4 m) x 1.00 m = 3 m 2

B. Determination of the surface area of a farm

Determining surface area of the field is also very important especially for the
landowner. For instance, installation of farm irrigation system requires how wide
the field is.

For rectangular surface areas, calculation of the area is signified by its length and
its width.

l=150m
Calculate the surface area of the farm shown above. Express your answer in m 2
and ha.

19
 Length of the field =150 m Width of the field = 50 m
Formula: A = length x width
= 150 m x 50 m = 7500 m 2
7500m2= _____ ha
7500m2 x 1ha =.75ha
10,000m2

A. A volume of 100m3 of water spread over an area of one hectare

First, the volume of water must be calculated. It is the volume of the filled
reservoir, calculated using:
Volume (V) = length x width x height = 5 m x 10 m x 2 m = 100 m 3
Second, the thickness of the water layer is calculated using:

Given: Surface of the field = 10 000 m2 ; Volume of water = 100 m3

Formula: depth d= volume of water (m3)

Surface area (m2)
