  • Collaborate with the agricultural team for the proper functioning of the experimental plots.

  • Collect, record, and organize all trial data accurately, ensuring traceability.

  • Monitor crop evolution and report incidents or deviations.

  • Consolidate technical knowledge regarding strawberry cultivation and provide criteria in decision-making.
