This unit applies to the process of monitoring and controlling the nutritional requirements of and applications to plants in the horticulture industries across a range of situations and environments including amenity and natural resource areas. This standard involves working under limited supervision from others, with checking only related to overall progress. Work is undertaken within a program, routines, methods and procedures where some discretion and judgement is required in the selection of equipment and materials, organisation of work, services, actions, and the achievement of outcomes within time and budgetary constraints.
This unit covers the process of implementing a plant nutrition program in the horticultural or agricultural industry and defines the standard required to: recognise a range of common causes of nutrient deficiency; prepare fertilizers and other products for application to plants; apply fertilizers and other products; clean up and maintain tools and equipment; record work activities according to enterprise guidelines.
