How to Use this Manual
This manual has tabs (worksheets) for the various components of the Washington State
Nursery / Landscape CDE.
Before you print a sheet be sure that you have all the information visual on the sheet.
It was set for Arial Font, however I had to vary the sizes on a lot of the items so they
would fit on a page or in a cell. Also check the size of your borders since they may be
set differently on your computer and will throw information off of a page.
This was created on an Excel 2004, version 11.3.3, so if you are using an older edition,
you may have difficulty using this document.
On this CD we have also enclosed a copy of the manual in PDF, but had to separate out
the tests due to size.

websites.
THESE TESTS ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS OPERATIONS MANUAL.
It is suggested that the test should consist of questions in the following categories.
When writing the test it is suggested that there be no more than 10 questions from
any one of these categories.
ALL TEST QUESTIONS MUST HAVE THEIR REFERENCES SITED.

It is recommended to include as many categories as possible.

Plant Identification
Plant Identification should consist of 50 representative plants, disorders and tools for
identification. The state Nursery Landscape Plant List should be utilized. Each
participant will be provided a copy of the list at the event.
Avoid use of photos (plants, equipment, pests and diseases) if possible. Live
specimens should be representative of the species.
When a problem must be presented with an affected plant, a "DISORDER" label will
be with the item to designate identification of the problem rather than the plant.
It is recommended that the identification set consist of 40 plants, 5 tools and 5
diseases, insects or weeds.
The following percentages or amounts could be used to develop a balanced contest,
based on the amount of each type of plant material listed.
Evergreen Trees - 12% of 40 or 5 items
Evergreen Shrubs - 30% of 40 or 12 items
Deciduous Trees - 25% of 40 or 10 items
Deciduous Shrubs - 15% of 40 or 6 items
Vines and Groundcovers - 13% of 40 or 5 items
Perennials - 5% of 40 or 2 items
Pests and Disorders - 10% of 50 or 5 items
Tools - 10% of 50 or 5 items
THESE ARE JUST GUIDELINES FOR A BALANCED PLANT IDENTIFICATION
SET. IF YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON EVERGREENS OR GROUNDCOVERS,
THAT IS APPROPRIATE AS WELL.
No specimens or items may be touched or handled in any way.

Potting or Propagating Practicums
This practicum is designed to evaluate participant knowledge of and ability in
performing fundamental nursery production practices.
At the state contest, one team member will be asked to either pot or propagate plants.
Propagating Nursery Stock
Each participant will be furnished a stock plant, rooting flat and media, rooting powder, a
hand pruner and a label and marking pen. (Personal knives or pruners are allowed, if
desired.) Participants are to prepare the designated softwood or hardwood cuttings and
place them in the media with a single label.
Students should be asked to stick a number of cuttings so uniformity and selection can
be evaluated.
Potting Nursery Stock
Each participant will be furnished a supply of plants, nursery containers or pots of
appropriate size and media. Hand pruners, a label and a marking pen will also be
provided. (Personal pruners are allowed, if desired.) The participants will pot and label the
plants, one per container, using standard nursery practices. Plant division or grading of
liners may be involved. One finished container will be labeled.
Students should be asked to pot a number of plants so uniformity and selection can
be evaluated.

Nursery and Mechanical Assessment and Solutions Practicums
There are two assessment and solutions practicums. Nursery and Mechanical.
These practicums are designed to evaluate participant knowledge of and ability in:
1) assessing the request or problem presented
2) reviewing alternative procedures or courses of action based on individual knowledge
or reference information provided
3) deciding on a solution
These are the problem solving practicums.
Each practicum will consist of 10 multiple choice problems.
The Nursery Assessment and Solutions practicum could include questions on:
Measuring Nursery Stock
One nursery plant will be measured for market size (height, spread or caliper as
appropriate) according to the American Standard for Nursery Stock for BR and B & B
evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs. A caliper and measuring rule will be
provided. Plants presented in containers will be assumed as growing in the field, and a
label will advise on whether it is to be dug BR or B & B. Cut trunk sections may be
presented for larger tree measurements.
Pruning Nursery Stock
One or more nursery plants will be displayed with points marked for possible pruning
cuts. No plant will be actually pruned. Participants are to evaluate each labeled point
and decide if the plant part should be pruned or not for improvement of the plant's
health, form and overall quality. The answer choice then will be the combination of cuts
that should be made.
Problem Solving
Other situations of nursery and landscape plants, supplies or practices where observation
and analysis of the subject and resource materials are involved in the decision-making
process. Example situations may include the following:
* According to the sample label provided, a spill of this chemical must be handled by _?
* From the information provided on these catalog pages, one bag of the designated
medium will fill _ pots of the size and shape presented.
*According to the information provided, which plants in this list would likely need a

operating specifications. Examples of possible choices are low oil, uneven height setting,
blade needs sharpening, incorrect gas:oil ratio provided or replace broken handle.
Equipment will be placed to allow observing all components in the answer choices without
