GRADING OF PLANTS, HARDENING OFF AND TRANSPLANTING

VENUE: PINEAPPLE PLOT

SUBMISSION DATE: 20 DECEMBER 2023

Hi and assalamualaikum all of my readers. Alhamdulilah, I'm so happy because I can still write and share my journey during fieldwork for ten weeks, such a long journey to go through together. Thank you to my friends, lecturers and classmate for giving me a new experience and shared a lot of knowledge. I appreciate a lot and I have a few good news to share with. 

First of all, this page going to be the last blog for fieldwork lesson. It is because, my next assesment is innovation project, my groupmate and I have to find ideas to create an innovation to apply and use in plant sector and present the project to lecture. This assesment also required a report to complete this task. Secondly, we are going to have online lesson for fieldwork on the next Friday, because semester break is around the corner. Lastly, I just left one semester for fieldwork which is next year and I am going to have internship for this semester on 19th February 2024 at UiTM Jasin. That's all some update from me for now. 

Next, I want to share about my activities on week 10. 

• Plant grading is the process of classifying or arranging plants according to their size, quality, or other attributes. More efficient plant organization and sales are made possible by this method.
• The process of gradually acclimating seedlings or plants grown indoors to outdoor conditions is known as "hardening off." This is letting them experience more sunlight, wind, and colder temperatures in order to get them used to the change from a controlled environment to the more challenging conditions found in the garden.
• Plants are transplanted when they are moved to a new location, like from seed trays to garden soil or from smaller pots to larger ones. Because they are more suited to their new surroundings, plants that have been properly graded and hardened off have a higher chance of surviving transplantation.

I have some snack for breakfast after assembly end. 

We're using hoe to do weeding at pineapple plot but first, we must alert about the procedure to using tools and equipment from store. We must take and keep it back properly and in good condition, which mean we need to wash and clean the equipment before sort in return. 

These are some photos shows how we did weeding together. 

Soft reminder: Breakfast is important meal to take in the morning before you do your work or else you will get gastric attack just like my friend :)

After done activity on pineapple plot, all of us take a rest before proceed work at ladang angkat. We're continued with maintenace which is weeding manually and did plant propagation for 150 polybags. It took more than 2 hours and we finished on 12pm. 

Hihihi before go back to the college, my friends harvest some of Brazilian spinach and ate together. I guess that's all from me. Thank you for your time and goodbye.
