A. Preparatory Activity

Good Morning Class! Good Morning Sir!

Anyone who will lead the prayer? Sir!

Okay John you may lead the prayer. “Let us pray…In the name of the father and
the son and the holy spirit…Amen!

Who is absent today? No one is absent sir!

I guess you are excited about our

topic for today but before we go on,
let us have a short review first about (Student’s trying to recall)
what we have tackled yesterday.

Can anybody give a brief recall of our (One student raises his hand)
lesson yesterday? We discussed about crop protection sir.

Very Good! We have discussed about

the crop protection which is the
science and practice of managing (Students attentively listen.)
plant diseases, weeds and other
pests that damage agricultural crops
and forestry.

B. Lesson Proper

1. Motivation

Okay class I will show you a video (Students are excited to watch the video.)
clip and I want you to observe
what the video is all about.
Are you ready? Yes Sir!
Okay let’s start.
 So! What is your idea about the (Student raises hand.)
video clip being presented?

Yes, Mr. It’s all about weed control sir.

Exactly!

2. Presentation

This morning we will be tackling

about the Types of weeds.
Before we go on, what comes up
on your mind if you heard about
the word weeds? (Student actively raises their hand.)

Yes, Mr. It grows anywhere.

Yes, That’s true.

3. Discussion

So, What is weeds? A plant that can be seen everywhere

especially in upland and lowland area.
Yes, that’s correct.

What else?
Plants that contain medicinal property.
Yes it’s true.

Okay class, weeds is a plant that

interfere with human activity, a
plant growing out of place, a (Students attentively listen.)
plant growing in an area where it
is not desired, plant that is
useless, unwanted, undesired.

So imagine class, this weeds grow

anywhere. Does the weeds really
important when it comes to crop
production? Maybe Sir!

In what particular way? No idea Sir!

Okay let’s find out!

When we talk about importance

of weeds, it comes up with two
effects: the Harmful effect of (Students attentively listen.)
weeds and Some beneficial
effects of weeds.

So what are those harmful effects

of weeds? (Student raises their hand.)

Yes, Miss. Act as a competition for space and nutrients

that crops need to grow.
Okay that’s correct.
What else? I would like to hear (Other student raise their hand.)
from others.

Yes, Mister. They act as alternate hosts for pests and

pathogen.

Absolutely you got the point.

Anyway, here is the list of the

harmful effects of weeds: They
reduce the quantity and quality, (Students listen carefully.)
They serve as alternate hosts for
other pests/increased costs for
insect and disease control, They
increase the costs of production,
They clog waterways and
irrigation canals, Thy (Students listen Carefully.)
exude/release chemicals that are
harmful to other plants, They
reduce the value of the land.

So those are the harmful effects

of weeds.
(Students attentively listen.)
Let’s move on to beneficial
effects of weeds.

What are those beneficial

effects? (Student raises their hand.)

Yes, Miss. Alternative source of food, sir!

Yes! That’s right.

What else? (Other student raises their hand.)

Yes, Mister. It can be use as alternative medicine.

Yes it’s true.

As what you’ve mention earlier

class, here’s the list of some
beneficial effects of weeds: They
reduce soil erosion in hilly areas,
Some can be sources of food for (Student listen carefully.)
man and animals, They prevent
leaching of nutrients and return
them into the soil, They could be
sources of germplasms for crop
improvement, Some can be
sources of bio pesticides, They
can be important source of useful
drugs,

What are those weeds that

contain medicinal property? (Student raises their hand.)
Can you give me some example
of this weeds?
Yes, Miss. Tawa-tawa , Sir!

Absolutely!

And last but not the list, They

provide habitat for insect (Students attentively listen.)
predators.

So! Those are the importance of

weeds in relation to crop
production and human life.

And what do you called about the

removal of this unwanted plants (Student raises their hand.)
from an area?

Yes, Mister. Weeding, Sir!

Yes, that’s correct.

Weeding is an important control

method practiced in many crops.
The removal of weeds is useful
because these unwanted plants (Student listen carefully.)
compete with the crops for
space, water and nutrients.

And the most important thing is

we also need to familiarize and
identify thoseweeds.

Why we need to identify those (Student raises their hand.)

weeds?

Yes, Miss. We need to identify those weeds because it

will give some possible effect especially in
crop production.

Okay! Give me some example of Carabao Grass, Sir!

weeds?

What else? (Other student raises their hand.)

Yes, Mister. Cogon, Sir

Based on gross morphology,

there are three types of weeds.
What are they?

Any idea? No Idea sir.

This types of weeds are the

grasses, sedges and broadleaves.

Okay, let’s start with the Grasses.

Grasses is a member of family
gramineae, stem which are
rounded have distinct nodes and
internodes, leaves (composed of
the leaf blade) arise alternately in (Students attentively listen.)
two rows from the nodes, thin
and narrow and have a parallel
venation, roots are fibrous,
example are Rottboellia
cochinchinensis (Itchgrass),
Imperata cylindrica (Cogon grass),
Eleusine indica (Indian goose
grass) , Echinochloe crusgalli
(Barnyard grass).

What else? (Student raises their hand.)

Yes, Miss. Bermuda, sir!

You’re right! So, those are the

example of weeds. Next is the
sedges.

Sedges is a member of family

Cyperaceae; closely resembles
grasses; stems are thin and
angular/triangular; leaves are in (Students listen carefully.)
thin narrow and have parallel
venation, with leaf sheaths that
are fused to form a tube around
the stem; roots are fibrous;
perennial sedges have
underground tubers e.g. Cyperus
rotundus (Purple nutsedge);
examples are Cyperus iria (Rice
Flatsedge), Cyperus kyllingia ,
Fimbristylis littoralis ( Lesser
fimbristylis), Scirpus maritimus
(Saltmarsh bulrush), etc.

What else? Can you give some

examples on sedges? (Student raises their hand.)

Yes, Miss.

Okay let’s move on with the last

one which is the broadleaves.

Broadleaves is a plants not

belonging to neither grasses not
sedges; leaves are fully expanded (Students attentively listen.)
and broad; some are monocots
but mostly are dicots and have
netted leaf veins; examples are
Ageratum conyzoides (Billy Goat
weed) , Monochoria vaginalis
(Pickerel weed), Ipomoea aquatic
 (Swamp morning-glory), Ipomoea
triloba (Three-lobe morning
glory), etc.

What else? Give me some

example of broadleaves. (Student raises their hand.)

Yes, Miss. Kanding-kanding, sir!

Those are the types of weeds that

we need to familiarize and
identify.

In your own idea, why we need to

familiarize those weeds? (Student raises their hand.)

Yes, Mister. It is important to learn the weeds because it

plays vital role in crop production and to
human life as well.

Yes, exactly!

4. Generalization

We are almost done with the

lesson for today, but before
proceeding to our next activity let
us wrap up first what you have
learned.

Knowing all the types of weeds

and its importance, how
significant do you think is the
weeds in crop production and in (Student raises their hand.)
human life?

Yes, Miss. Despite the negative impacts of weeds,

some plants usually thought of as weeds
may actually provide some benefits such as
soil stabilization, habitat and feed for
wildlife, human consumption and provide
employment opportunities.

You nailed it to the point. What (Other student raises their hand.)
else? Can I hear from the others?

Yes, Mister. Weeds have certain effects in agriculture,

which are mostly in the form of different
harmful results but somehow there are also
some beneficial effects.

Absolutely! In addition to that,

weeds have a controversial
nature. But to the agriculturist,
they are plants that need to be
 controlled, in an economical and
practical way, in order to produce
food, feed and fiber for humans
and animals. In this context, the
negative impacts of weeds
indirectly affect all living beings.

5. Application

The class will be divided into 4

groups. Each group will Create a
compilation of the different types
of weeds. Give at least five
sample of weeds in each type and
indicate its common name. Be
creative because you will present
the output to other group.

Evaluation
