  • Chromatography Course

    2-day Practical Workshop Monday 4th July - Tuesday 5th July 2016

    Revealing yet simple, chromatography is an exciting tool to diagnose soil health providing fast and graphic information on the health of the soil and the quality of biological, physical and chemical aspects of the soil and to help assess the relationships between the vital components of healthy soil.

    This 2-day workshop will focus on soil and manure analysis to verify health, biological activity and mineral interactions.
    At the end of the course participants will:

    ∗ Understand the value of chromatographic analysis of the soil as a useful tool for assessing soil conditions and deterioration
    ∗ Have experience of analysing chromatographic results
    ∗ Know what equipment is required for chromatographic analysis

    The course is delivered through a series of theoretical inputs, demonstrations, practical experience and discussion.
    Jairo’s teaching style makes clear the how and why of regenerating biological fertility and mineral agricultural soils; and how this enables the viable production of healthy food that is affordable to consumers and profitable for farmers. Throughout the course Jairo will give examples from his experience and you will learn more about Jairo and his approach and motivation. Jario's methods allow farmers to disengage from a dependence on external inputs. You can find a detailed biography on Jairo and his website by clicking here.
    Suitable for: Growers, farmers, technicians and those interested in soil health.
