National Diploma in Crop Production and Management (UBTEB Examined)
Overview
RUCID acknowledges that some industries may come and go but crop production is one that has always been with us since the start of civilization. It is, however, a changing industry. The world’s population increase shows no sign of slowing so new crops which take up less room and which produce better
yields are needed. Global warming affects the types of crops which can be grown in different regions
About it all
Crop production today requires a level of sophistication beyond what has previously been the case. It offers opportunities beyond comprehension, but to optimize a business or career in producing crops you need to have knowledge, awareness and drive to succeed not only in growing plants, but also in business management practices, science and technology.
Successful technologists and growers in this industry do not achieve success through qualifications alone, but they have a level of knowledge and awareness about growing commercial crops that would often leave the university graduates reeling. This course aims to set you on the path to this sort of success with growing crops.
The National Diploma in Crop Production and Management comprises of modules such as; Farm Management, Soil Management, Biochemistry, Irrigation (Agricultural), Agronomy, Weed Control, Seed Propagation, Irrigation Management (Agricultural), Agricultural Marketing, Research Project and Pasture Management. To complete this qualification, you are also required to complete at least four weeks on one enterprise
