Postgraduate Course on Soil and Plant Analisys and Data Handling - 02.09.2010

Time: September 13, 2010 - Oct 9, 2010

Location: Wageningen, The Netherlands

Description: In the fields of soil fertility, soil chemistry and soil hygiene knowledge and understanding of the behaviour of nutrients and pollutants have augmented substantially in recent years. This has resulted in the application of improved and more advanced analytical methods for soils, plants and sediments, often requiring the use of increasingly sophisticated instrumentation. These developments, together with the growing numbers of samples many laboratories are presented with, make high demands on analytical and computing skills. To keep abreast of developments, staff charged with laboratory work in soil and plant analysis should upgrade their knowledge and skills in these new areas.

Organizer: Wageningen University - Soil Science Centre

Aims: The course aims to provide participants with up-to-date knowledge, practical experience and insights in instrumental analysis, soil and plant analysis, laboratory management and data
handling.
