Let Us Study
Before we proceed further, let us answer first the activity below. This activity will
only check your prior knowledge about the topic and things that you wanted to know
as we go through the module.
1. These are usually light and are used without the help of animals or machines.
They are being used in performing farm activities which involve small areas like
school garden and home garden.
2. These are accessories that are being pulled by working animals or mounted to
machinery (hand tractor, tractor) which are usually used in the preparation of
land. These are usually made of a special kind of metal.
Nursery
A nursery is a place where different kinds of plants are raised and grown.
Nursery workers are responsible to take good care of each plant. Whose duties as
well are to maintain the quality of these plants from initial planting to harvest.
In the nursery, the young seedlings are tended from sowing to develop in such a way
as to be able to endure the hard field conditions.
5
Two types of nurseries
Temporary nurseries are established in or near the planting site. There are
sometimes called “flying nurseries”.

Permanent nurseries
These types of nurseries can be large or small depending on the objective and the
number of seedlings raised annually.
In all cases, permanent nurseries must be well-designed, properly sited, and with an
adequate water supply.
6
There are many different types of nurseries that specialize in specific plants,
including edible crops or ornamentals. For example, some nurseries specialize in
greenhouse propagation or the cultivation of perennial plants. This may be through
seeding, taking cuttings, or using leaf propagation.
Other nurseries concentrate on the cultivation of woody plants like trees and shrubs.
Some species are grown from seeds, stem cuttings, or grafting in the controlled
setting of a greenhouse.
A nursery operator may cultivate and grow species to a certain stage and then sell
the plants in large quantities, as in a wholesale nursery, or they may grow them to
later sell to the public directly, as in a retail nursery.
