To thrive as a Verdugo (an agricultural worker who prunes or maintains vineyards and orchards), you need hands-on experience in pruning, plant care, and basic knowledge of horticultural practices. Familiarity with pruning shears, saws, ladders, and sometimes pesticides is beneficial, and safety training or certifications may be required. Attention to detail, physical stamina, and the ability to follow detailed instructions are important soft skills in this role. These skills ensure healthy plant growth, increased crop yield, and safe, efficient work in outdoor agricultural environments.
