NURSERY WORKERS

The nursery workers certification manual, a repository of invaluable trade resources, is available in electronic format for a nominal cost. The manual covers the following modules:

  • Plant Identification

  • Plant Propagation

  • Integrated Pest Management

  • Soil Fertility and Cultural Management

  • Field Harvesting Technique

  • Irrigation Scheduling, Equipment Repair and Maintenance

  • Staff Management

  • Grading, Shipping and Receiving

Printed versions could be provided in situations where electronic delivery is inadequate, in which instance, there will be an additional charge for printing and shipping.

The manual may be used to host training workshops for members.

The nursery workers certification test is being revamped to make it more accessible.
