Unlocking Content
Vocabulary
Can somebody from the class
define what is WASTE
MANAGEMENT in your own
words and understanding?
Aerobic Composting
decomposing of organic
materials using microorganisms
that require oxygen.
Agricultural Waste
- is unwanted or unsalable
material produced wholly from
agricultural operations directly
related to the growing of crops or
raising of animals for the primary
purpose of making a profit or for a
livelihood.
Anaerobic Composting
decomposes waste without
oxygen. Organic materials are
piled up and breakdown
naturally.
Compost
is used to improve the soil
fertility in gardens,
landscaping, horticulture,
agriculture and organic
farming.
Composting
the natural process of recycling
organic matter, such as leaves
and food scraps, into a valuable
fertilizer that can enrich soil and
plants.
Waste
is any substance which is
discarded after primary use or
in other words, there is no
further use for the product.
Waste Processing
is a way of applying operations
using facilities on how to change
solid wastes into chemical, physical,
or biological properties to make it
easier to dispose of, recover a
resource, or transfer solid waste
materials.
Farm Waste Processing
What are the different agricultural
waste management system’s six
basic functions?
1. Production
is the function of the amount and
nature of agricultural waste
generated by an agricultural
enterprise.
2. Collection
refers to the initial capture and
gathering of the waste from the
point of origin or deposition to a
collection point.
3. Transfer
refers to the movement and
transportation of the waste
throughout the system.
4. Storage
is the temporary containment of the
waste. The storage facility of a waste
management system is the tool that
gives the manager control over the
scheduling and timing of the system
functions.
5. Treatment
is another function designed to
reduce the pollution potential or
modify the physical characteristics of
the waste, such as moisture and total
solid (TS) content, to facilitate more
efficient and effective handling.
6. Utilization
Utilization includes reusing and/or
recycling of waste products.
Agricultural wastes may be used as a
source of energy, bedding, mulch,
organic matter, or plant nutrients.
Types of Wastes
What are the different
types of wastes?
1. Liquid Waste
is commonly found in households
as well as in industries. This waste
includes dirty water, organic
liquids, wash water, waste
detergents and even rainwater.
2. Solid Rubbish
Solid rubbish can include various
items found in your household,
along with commercial and industrial
locations.
a. Plastic waste
consists of plastic bags, containers,
jars, bottles and other
products that can be found at home.
Plastic is not biodegradable, other
types of plastic can be recycled.
b. Paper/card waste
includes packaging
materials, old newspapers,
used cardboard and other
products.
c. Tins and metals
can be found in various
forms throughout your
home. Most metals can
be recycled.
d. Ceramics and glass
These items can easily be recycled.
Look for special glass and bottles
and can create them into something
useful like sugar, coffee, and cream
containers.
3. Organic Waste
Organic waste is another common
household. All food waste, garden
waste, manure and rotten meat are
classified as organic waste.
4. Recyclable Rubbish
Recyclable rubbish includes all
waste items that can be converted
into products that can be used
again.
5. Hazardous waste
includes all types of flammables,
toxic, corrosive and reactive rubbish.
It also includes radioactive waste
and chemical wastes.
6. Industrial waste
Industrial waste is any type of waste
that is produced by an industrial
process. This can include
manufacturing, construction and
mining processes.
How to Make Basket
Composting at Home
or in School
Materials Needed for
Basket Composting:
• Used plastic water container
(removed upper part of it by
cutting using a cutter or pair of
scissors).
• Prepare dried leaves taken from
your backyard.
Materials Needed for
Basket Composting:
• Rotten produce, like
vegetables and fruit peeling
• Eggshells
• Soil
• Water
• Hand trowel
• Disposable hand gloves
Procedures in Making Basket
Compost:
1. In a plastic container put some soil in
the bottom part of it.
Procedures in Making Basket
Compost:
2. Add rotten produce like dried leaves,
fruit peeling, eggshells and rotten
vegetables and pile it as the next layer.
Alternately add the soil and the
prepared rotten produce until it reaches
the top part of the plastic container.
Procedures in Making Basket
Compost:
3. And water the compost pile placed in
the water container, wait until the
piled compost decomposed.

How to make Fermented
Foliar Fertilizer
1. What are the materials
needed in making
fermented foliar fertilizer
in school
or at home?
2. How do we properly
make fermented foliar
fertilizer?
3. Why do we need to try
making a fermented foliar
fertilizer?
Materials needed in
making a fermented foliar
fertilizer
• 1 ripe banana (lakatan)
• 1 apple
• few pieces of grapes (optional)
Materials needed in
making a fermented foliar
fertilizer
• 1⁄4 kilos or 250 grams brown sugar
• 1 spoon for mixing the mixtures
Materials needed in
making a fermented foliar
fertilizer
• Plastic container with cover
• Clean chopping board
• Knife
Procedures in Making a
Fermented Foliar
Fertilizer
1. Prepare all the needed
ingredients, materials and
tools in making a foliar
fertilizer.

2. On a clean chopping board,
slice the banana and apple
approximately 1/8” combine
and weight at 250 grams.

3. Put in a clean plastic
container the 1st mixture and
add 1⁄4 kilo or 250
grams of brown sugar.
Procedures in Making a
Fermented Foliar
Fertilizer
Combine 1st mixtures and sugar, must
be 1:1 ratio, mix thoroughly, repeat
mixing the 1st combined mixtures with
sugar several times until it blends well.

4. Once the combined mixtures are
already thickened and blends well.
Seal it with a tightly closed container
and do not forget to indicate the date
whenyou actually prepared the sliced
fruits and sugar,
so that you will be able to determine
when it will achieve 7 days or
weeklong fermentation required
days.
5. After 7 days of fermentation, you
can now check if it resulted well and
ready to be used as organic
fertilizer to your flowering plants or
other form of plants or crops.
6. To check, you open the container
then, sift the juice that was formed
from the fermented mixtures.
7. You can now make a mixture for
spraying it on the plants (1 tsp. of
fermented fruit juice foliar fertilizer
plus 100ml. clean water. Then
shake
the mixture that was placed in a
bottle sprayer.

8. You canFertilizer
now spray it on the plant,
use it as an organic fertilizer that will
help your plants develop and grow
healthy.

9. Monitor and document if the plants
you were able to apply foliar fertilizer
developed and grow successfully (by
taking pictures with corresponding
dates on your recorded
documentation as a proof).

10. Show and report to your teacher
the results of your outputs through
submitting your portfolio of
documentation with narratives as
your proofs for proper rating.
