Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency applies to agricultural advisers who are providing services to land managers. Conducting the assessment is likely to be undertaken without supervision but includes practical input from the land owner or manager.
This unit covers the responsibilities of agricultural advisers in conducting an environment and food safety risk assessment on established or developing plant nutrition and soil fertility programs and, where appropriate, developing a nutrient management plan. The risk assessment involves analysing and prioritising environmental risks associated with the program. This risk assessment is combined with the identification of options to manage risk and establish processes for the ongoing monitoring and improvement of plant nutrition and soil fertility programs.
