Stewardship Accreditation
|
There are a number of aspects that must be understood and followed by Agronomists and Growers when using CLEARFIELD Production Systems. Criteria in relation to crop safety, product performance and system sustainability are required to be met.
This function allows for:
1. New Agronomists and supporting Merchandise Staff that have recently attended a CLEARFIELD Stewardship Accreditation Course to complete the Examination component and obtain their Accreditation Certificate.
2. CLEARFIELD Accredited Agronomists who have not attended an update course for at least three(3) years and wish to renew their accreditation on the lead up to expiry.
Agronomists new to the AgriCentre system are required to complete the introductory course and should register with their local Crop Care Representative.
