- Create and implement polycultural intercropping and succession planting plans and schedules within crop rotation and season extension systems for four season production.
- Discuss the limiting factors to crop growth, such as soil conditions, pollination, pestiferous organisms, and the management practices that integrate soil building, perennial crops, and small animals.
