Field Guide of Discovery-based Exercises for Organic Vegetable Production
5 Planting or transplanting operations (e.g., direct seeding, transplanting, mulching,
irrigation, etc.);
5 Recovery and early vegetative stages (e.g., thinning, replanting, roguing of diseased plants,
leaf removal of infected leaves, cultural control of pests, spot weeding, side dressing of
organic and microbial-based fertilizers, irrigation, monitoring, etc.);
5 Active vegetative stage (e.g., roguing of diseased plants, leaf removal of infected leaves,
cultural control of pests, spot weeding, side dressing of organic and microbial-based
fertilizers, hilling up, irrigation, monitoring, etc.);
5 Early root, bulb and tuber development stages (e.g., roguing of diseased plants, leaf removal
of infected leaves, cultural control of pests, spot weeding, side dressing of organic and
microbial-based fertilizers, hilling up, irrigation, monitoring, etc.)
5 Maximum root, bulb and tuber development stages (e.g., roguing of diseased plants, leaf
removal of infected leaves, cultural control of pests, spot weeding, side dressing of organic
and microbial-based fertilizers, hilling up, irrigation, monitoring, dehaulming, etc.); and
5 Harvest and post-harvest stages (e.g., harvesting, sorting, grading, packaging, etc.).
4. Synthesize and summarize output of small groups into one big group output. Draw up
