Mr. Jones wanted to identify the purity of his falcata seeds. So, he sampled 10% of a single batch and identified its weight in grams and removed any impurities present in the sample which resulted to the decrease of the sample weight by 2.56 grams. Identify the seed purity of the batch. 

(a)   is the time of the year wherein planting is most suitable.

Mr. Cruz wants to develop his 500- hectare land into a Falcata Plantation. If his preferred spacing is 2m by 3m, how many seedlings will he raise?

If Mr. Cruz wants to ensure the availability of the number of seedlings that he needs, he included in the production a 10% mortality rate for his seedlings. How many seedlings of Falcata will he need to raise now?

If one (1) kilo of Falcata contains 18,000 seeds. How many kilograms of Falcata seeds will Mr. Cruz need to purchase in order to satisfy his demand for seedlings?

If a kilo of Falcata costs P12,000.00, how much will he spend?

What is the reason why it is advised to cut diagonally the bases of cuttings?

Replanting is done when at least (a)   of the initial planted seedlings died- off due to varying factors such as

drought, disturbances such as floods, strong winds, damaged by stray animals among many others.

(a)   is the removal of unwanted or damaged branches that may cause deformation of the stem or in the formation of knots in the stem which makes the wood unsound or defected thereby reducing its crop value.

(a)   is usually done to ensure good bole form of trees especially of the purpose of the plantation is for

timber production.

(a)   is the removal of phenotypically inferior tree individuals in the stand to pamper the phenotypically

good individuals with uncontested supply of sunlight, water and nutrients for their optimal growth.

(a)   involves the removal of dead and diseased trees in a stand to lessen or to eliminate at most the

spread of diseases.

(a)   is the general term for unwanted crops or vegetation.

(a)   is the practice wherein the removed unwanted vegetation from clearing activities are placed around the

stem of the planted crops.

(a)   are strips of vegetation composed of fire- resistant trees, shrubs and vines to

established to suppress spread of fire.

(a)   include streams, canals, and roads. To make these firebreaks more effective, cut

and remove adjacent vegetation during the dry season.

(a)   are ten (10) meter wide vegetation- free strips usually established at the borders of

the plantation and at given intervals inside the plantation. These areas should be maintained

and made completely free of any vegetation throughout the dry season.

(a)   is done by extinguishing

all the remaining burning debris to prevent re- occurrence of the fire.

(a)   is conducted to gather information on the general layout of the site, the existing vegetation and status

of its reproduction, and soil condition.

(a)   is done to liberate the planted seedlings from climbing vines and other unwanted vegetations that clings and competes with the primary crop in the exposure of sunlight and intake of water and nutrients in the soil.
