The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?
Monitor crop/plant water use
|
|
Water use is measured or estimated from one or more systems. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Water is accumulated as a soil water deficit in the root zone. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Apply a measured amount of water
|
|
A pre-determined deficit is predicted using a scheduling system(s). Completed |
Evidence:
|
Irrigation is applied to partly or fully replace the deficit. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where appropriate, water quantities are increased to ensure dilution and transport of toxic solutes below the root zone. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Assess efficacy of irrigation and repeat cycles of irrigation
|
|
Effectiveness of irrigation application with in-field equipment is measured. Completed |
Evidence:
|
The estimated soil moisture level in scheduling system is adjusted to match that measured. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where necessary, the scheduling system(s) is recalibrated. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Cycles of irrigation are repeated until schedule is correctly established. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Record irrigation and scheduling parameters
|
|
Each irrigation and significant rainfall event, plus other appropriate parameters used in scheduling system, are recorded. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Drainage amount below root zone at each irrigation is estimated and recorded. Completed |
Evidence:
|
System performance data is recorded. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Plan for extremes of weather
|
|
Estimated deficits are modified to cater for any prolonged saturation following heavy rainfall. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Shift areas, and where applicable, application rates, are altered to suit appropriate irrigation schedules that minimise frost damage. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Strategies involving prioritising of plants/crops and intermittent irrigation are implemented at times of extreme heat. Completed |
Evidence:
