- Conduct regular field inspections and pest surveillance to identify pest infestations, plant diseases, and potential crop health risks.
- Establish pest monitoring systems, scouting schedules, action thresholds, and early-warning procedures for timely interventions.
- Recommend and implement appropriate biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical pest control measures based on IPM principles.

- IPM, crop protection, or commercial vegetable production for 2 to 3 years as a minimum
- Strong knowledge of vegetable pests, plant diseases, pest identification, and integrated pest management practices.
- Practical experience in biological control, pesticide management, and crop protection strategies.
- Familiarity with GAP, pesticide safety regulations, maximum residue limits, and pre-harvest intervals.
