WEEK 10 (Grading of Plants, Hardening Off and Transplating)

 FPA150



Hi, mates! 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.

What is grading?
  • In a plantation, grading is the process of classifying or arranging harvested crops according to several factors such as size, quality, or other considerations. By verifying that the items follow specific criteria, this method helps identify the worth of the produce and makes marketing easier. Grading plays a crucial role in plantations that grow products like tea, coffee, or lumber in order to fulfill market demands and preserve product uniformity.
Advantages of Grading:
  1. Quality Assurance: Grading guarantees that only goods that satisfy particular requirements of quality are brought to market, preserving a level of quality that is constant.
  2. Marketability: Because graded items adhere to industry standards and customer expectations, they are frequently more marketable.
  3. Fair Pricing: Grading ensures that producers receive fair compensation by helping to set reasonable prices depending on the quality of the product.
Disadvantages of Grading:
  1. Expenses: Because grading systems need more effort and resources to implement, they can be costly.
  2. Subjectivity: Grading may entail subjective opinion, which might result in different evaluations.
  3. Waste: Products of lower quality could be thrown away, adding to waste and perhaps posing environmental hazards.
