WEEK 3 (Identification, Labelling and Inventory of Crops Plants)

 FPA150



Hi, everyone! Salam UiTM di hatiku 💜 My name is Nik Nur Fatihah Binti Mohd Lazin and now currently studying at UiTM Melaka, Campus Jasin as one of Diploma Agrotechnology (AT1102B) student. I am 19 years old and living in Terengganu.

     I am mainly doing this portfolio to introduce the students to our activities that we did on every Friday. FPA150 provides each student of plant propagation techniques and develop core skills in plant nursery management. In addition, It is an opportunity for the students to acquire skills in conducting activities in nursery managements as well as to acquire hands-on experience in nursery practices.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES




Figure 1

 A part 1 student gave a speech about what they had done last week and before



Figure 2

The lecturer also gave a speech to remind us of the FPA subject's goal



Figure 3
(BEFORE)

We moved to the cocoa plot, and one of my friends pruned the trees



What is pruning?
Pruning is the horticultural practice of selectively trimming or cutting away parts of a plant, such as branches, to remove dead or overgrown parts, shape the plant, or encourage healthy growth. 

Benefits of the pruning:
1. Removing dead or diseased branches can improve overall plant health.
2. Removing overhanging or potentially hazardous branches enhances safety.
3. Pruning can help prevent the spread of diseases by removing affected parts.
4. Proper pruning can make it more difficult for pests to infest the plant.
5. Pruning can allow more sunlight to reach the lower parts of the plant.

(AFTER)

Pruning enhanced the appearance of the cocoa trees and helped them grow vigorously



Figure 5

After recess time, we went to the herb plot to perform circular weeding around the lemon grass plants. Based on the picture, my friend used a hoe to clear the area around them



Figure 6

For safety reasons, the lecturer provided us with the new innovation of a lawnmower, as it doesn't have sharp blades and is safer for daily use by students



Figure 7
(BEFORE)

Thankfully, with the help of the lawnmower, clearing the weeds became more efficient, especially for thick weed growth



Figure 8
(AFTER)

The area had been cleared of weeds, and we had completed our task for the week. Afterward, the class was dismissed
