This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to apply introductory plant biology, including plant taxonomy, plant morphology and plant physiology, to a wide range of agronomic practices.

The unit applies to individuals who apply specialised skills and knowledge to the application of plant biology to agronomic practice, and take personal responsibility and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. They analyse and synthesise information, and analyse, design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, health and safety in the workplace requirements, legislative and regulatory requirements, and sustainability and biosecurity practices.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
