3. SCENARIO 2
Oh no! It cannot suit…..
A traditional farmer from the land of
Arab was really interested in rambutan
fruits that the ate in Malaysia. Thus he
tried to plant this rambutan tree near his
cactus nursery at his hometown. He took
good care of his rambutan trees just as
he did to his cactus plant.

5. Facts Ideas Learning Issues Action plans
1. A traditional farmer from
Arab land interested in
rambutan tree that he ate in
Malaysia
2. He tried to plant rambutan
tree near his cactus nursery
at his hometown
3. He took good care of his
rambutan trees just as he
did to his cactus plant
4. Two years later, the
rambutan trees are found
dead
1. The farmer has no
knowledge about the
rambutan tree
2. He thought all the plant
must be take care in the
same way
3. Unfavourable land in
Arab
4. Temperature in Arab is
too high to plant the
rambutan tree
5. The rambutan tree has
disease
6. Not enough water
supply
7. The farmer do not give
any fertilizer to
rambutan tree
8. Rambutan tree has short
life cycle
9. Rambutan tree was
attacked by parasite
10. Different types of root.;
cactus has water storage
root while rambutan has
fibrous root
1. Why the temperature in
Arab not suitable with
rambutan tree?
2. How to plant rambutan
tree?
3. Does rambutan tree need
fertilizer?

between root in rambutan
with root in cactus ?
5. How long rambutan trees
can live without water?
6. What is the knowledge
that farmer need to know
about the rambutan
trees?
1. Research in internet
2. Find journal about rambutan
tree in library
3. Ask botanist about rambutan
tree and cactus
4. Ask lecturers
5. Construct an experiment

Arab in facebook

7. 2. How to plant rambutan tree?
firstly, prepare your planting materials. Select
well-developed seeds from mature/ripe fruits of
the recommended varieties or selections.
Remove mucilage from the seeds by rubbing them
with fine sawdust, ash or old newspaper.
Germinate the seeds immediately after extraction
in light loamy soils or in germination beds made
up of sawdust.

8. Germinated seeds should be ready for
potting in 24 days after sowing. Transfer
them to perforated plastic bags containing
garden soil and place them in nursery shed.
Water the seedlings after transferring. Then,
water every 2-3 days as the need arises.
The rootstocks would be ready for asexual
propagation in 8-12 months.

10. 4. What is the difference between root
in cactus with root in rambutan ?
Rambutan has fibrous root while cactus has
water and food storage root which is a
tough layer of tissue surrounding the stems
of cacti and special substances within the
storage cells located inside the stems
further reduce loss of water.

11. Most fruit trees need water to fruit no
matter how fertile your soil is. During the
dry months, make sure that the trees don’t
suffer from drought. Irrigate the trees.
During the rainy months, however, make
sure the orchard is properly drained. The
dry season should not last over 3 months.

12. The tree does best on deep, clay-loam or rich sandy
loam rich in organic matter, or in deep peat. It needs
good drainage.
It is recommended that the trees be planted at least
33 ft (10 m) apart each way, though 40 ft (12 m) is not
too much in rich soil. If the trees are set too close to
each other, they will become overcrowded in a few
years and production will be seriously affected.
.

13. Rambutan is a tropical fruit tree best grown in the
temperature range between 22C to 35C, with 2000 to
3000 mm of well distributed rainfall. It is intolerant to
frost, especially during the juvenile stage. Mature
trees may survive a brief period of temperatures as
low as 4C but with severe defoliation. It prefers clay
loam soil, pH 5 to 6.5, but can be grown in a wide
range of soil types, even ones with poor drainage, but
not water-logged. Flower induction is independent
from photo period, but can be induced by water
stress. Low relative humidity and wind during fruiting
could cause excessive moisture loss from fruit
spinterns and result in poor fruit appearance.

14. Rambutan trees should be sheltered
from strong winds which do much
damage during the flowering and
fruiting periods.
