  • Experience in manipulating fertigation and IPM regiments to stimulate plant growth and development.
  • Experience in manipulating greenhouse growing conditions with the use of fans, vents, furnaces, shade cloths, etc.
  • Experience in documentation of growing practices in compliance with the Department of Agriculture.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and consistency.
  • Ability to identify problems early and implement practical solutions independently.
