Responsibilities:

• Fertilizer Analysis and Raw Material Inspection: Analyze fertilizers and inspect incoming raw materials for the farm, accepting or rejecting them based on specifications.
• Farm Risk Assessment Before Acquisition: Conduct risk assessments (physical or biological risks) before taking over farms, including surveying pivot areas to determine stone distribution and impermeable soil levels.
• Soil and Water Sampling: Collect soil and water samples for chemical, microbial, and fungal analysis to determine their suitability for agriculture.
• Weed Assessment: Identify the types of weeds present in pivot areas to determine the appropriate herbicides for control.
• Irrigation Trials: Conduct irrigation experiments to adjust sprinkler nozzles and optimize water distribution in pivot systems.
• Land Preparation Supervision: Monitor land preparation activities (plowing, subsoiling, marking, rotary tilling) to ensure productivity and quality.
• Seed Inspection: Inspect seeds upon arrival at the farm and allocate each variety to pivots according to the planting plan.
• Smart Agro Task Confirmation: Confirm agricultural operation tasks on the Smart Agro tablet system.
• Planting Depth and Rate Adjustment: Ensure the correct planting depth and seeding rate for each variety and regulate fungicide application rates.
• Germination Monitoring: Track seed germination and determine decay percentages.
• Approval of Agricultural Material Requests: Approve or reject agricultural material requests based on the plan and create consumption tasks in SAP.
• Sprayer Calibration: Calibrate sprayers, adjust nozzles, and regulate pesticide application rates.
• Pesticide Effectiveness Assessment: Evaluate the impact of pesticides on diseases to determine whether reapplication is necessary.
• Fertilization Monitoring: Oversee fertilization by assessing the type of fertilizer, applied quantities, and mixing procedures.
• Nutrient Deficiency Assessment: Identify nutrient deficiency symptoms in plants and determine the required fertilizers or nutrients.
• Disease Evaluation: Assess all plant diseases (fungal, bacterial, insect-related) in pivots and select the appropriate pesticide.
• Virus Assessment in Crops: Evaluate crop viruses before and after roguing to determine seed generation and accept or reject the crop as seed material (Seed Farm).
• Harvest Trials: Conduct harvest trials, assess disease levels, and determine whether the crop is suitable for processing or storage.
• Residue Sampling: Collect YSI samples and pesticide residue samples for analysis.
• Harvest Loss Evaluation: Assess harvest losses and inspect potatoes during harvest to determine defects and direct them to the appropriate transportation.
• Data Recording: Record all operations and inspections in VISTEX.
