Pest Management Jobs

Crop protection is the science and practice of managing pests, plant diseases and other pest organisms that damage agricultural crops. Pesticides help farmers to reduce crop damage from pests and increase food production. They're very important as they improve the quality and yield of agricultural produce.

Pest control advisers are responsible for scouting crops and identifying pests that can affect a farmer’s harvest. Based on their observations they then make recommendations on treatment and suggest products or other methods to control or prevent problems.

Some examples of job titles found in this field are Pest Detection Specialist, Agricultural and Standards Inspector, Pest Control Adviser & Spray Technician.
