 Review

What is an orchard?
What are the different
kind of orchard?
 Motivation:

What can you see in these

pictures?
 Presentation!

Have you heard the word marcotting?

Grafting? Budding? What are they?
Let pupils look at the pictures again.
Let them familiarize with the ways
on how to propagate plants.
 Discussion of New Concept !

Let them tell something about

what they see in the pictures.
Have them share their
knowledge about the three ways
in propagating plants.
 Discussion:

Have each identify what way

of plant propagation is used in
each picture. Let them prove
their answer.
 Discussion:
1. Air layering or marcotting is a
method of propagating new trees and
shrubs from stems still attached to
the parent plant. The stem is
wrapped with damp moss to
encourage roots to form.
 Discussion:

2. Grafting and budding are horticultural

techniques used to join parts from two or
more plants so that they appear to grow as a
single plant. In grafting, the upper part (scion) of
one plant grows on the root system (rootstock) of
another plant. In the budding process, a bud is
taken from one plant and grown on another.
 Discussion:

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in

which a new organism develops from an
outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one
particular site. The new organism remains
attached as it grows, separating from the parent
organism only when it is mature, leaving behind
scar tissue.
 Developing mastery:

Show to the pupils

pictures on how plants
are propagated. Let them
tell what way is it then
explain.
 Presentation:

What can you see in the pictures?

What do they show?
 Group work!

Have each group make an

illustration on how to
propagate plants. Have
them explain their work.
