As a Phytosanitary Officer/Operative, I play a key role in protecting the health and productivity of the plantation. My responsibilities include routine field scouting to detect early signs of pests, diseases, and environmental stress in oil palm fields. I implement appropriate phytosanitary treatments—chemical and biological—while ensuring safe and accurate application methods in line with environmental and safety standards. I maintain detailed records of pest and disease occurrences, prepare field health reports, and support mapping of infection patterns across the plantation. I also contribute to field sanitation activities by helping remove infected palms, clearing dead fronds, and maintaining clean nursery environments to support healthy seedling development. In alignment with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, I support the use of eco-friendly and biological control methods to reduce chemical dependence. I work closely with the agronomy team, harvesting units, maintenance crews, and field supervisors to address crop health challenges promptly and reduce yield losses. My duties also include guiding field workers on pest awareness, early detection, and safe handling practices, ensuring compliance with all safety and environmental regulations. Through this role, I actively contribute to sustaining high yields, improving crop health standards, and supporting the overall productivity of the oil palm plantation.
