Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern in the Australian community about the use of pesticides has been growing steadily over recent years. This concern centres on environmental and health issues and inadvertent damage that can be done to off-target species. A national set of competencies has been developed for the use of chemicals. SMARTtrain is one of the training programs that delivers these competencies. The training program is offered at four levels: Australian Qualification Framework, AQF levels. This course is designed at AQF level 3 and people who successfully complete the course will receive two units of competency and be issued with a Statement of Attainment and a chemical users card. Level III Chemical Application courses are suited to people who are responsible for the purchase and application of pesticides without supervision. This includes owner-operators, local government and government employees and contractors. In-class learning activities are included that will assist the learner to gain knowledge and the ability to interpret labels and SDSs, apply, transport and store chemicals safely, and complete records to comply with legislation.

Download or read book A Technical Manual for Parasitic Weed Research and Extension written by J. Kroschel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parasitic weeds of the families Cuscutaceae, Orobanchaceae and Scrophulariaceae are considered to be among the major problems facing agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics. In the last decades, enormous efforts have been made and success achieved by scientists all over the world in gaining a better understanding of their biology and ecology as well as of control methods. However, no substantial reduction of infestation has been achieved in the past and control strategies specific to the different parasites, crops and farming systems must be further developed or adapted and realised among a wider farming population with suitable extension methods. This `Technical Manual' provides up-to-date methodologies for various aspects of research and extension related to parasitic weed species of the genera Striga, Alectra, Orobanche and Cuscuta. It has the intention to support scientists and extension workers of international and national research and extension institutes and universities, who are either new to the subject or plan to apply further techniques they are not yet familiar with.

This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This toolkit – made available in English, French and Spanish – will be promoted as practical guidance to assist in the implementation of the national seed strategies. It will provide a number of practical capacity building tools for essential stages of the seed value chain and targeted primarily at seed sector practitioners who will participate in special training workshops to acquire pertinent technical knowledge and will be expected in return to create a multiplier effect through further follow-up FFS trainings down to the level of seed traders and farmers. In doing so, the toolkit will be used as guidance for conducting country-led workshops and other training activities aimed at strengthening quality seed delivery systems and seed regulatory mechanisms in selected countries. The development of capacity in the production of high quality seeds, the seed replacement rates, true seed cost and realistic seed pricing mechanisms as well as the role of different stakeholders are of critical importance in the process of the formulation of national seed policies, which is one of the core areas of FAO’s delivery at the national level.
