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 analysis∗ Know what equipment is required for chromatographic analysis
The course is delivered through a series of theoretical inputs, demonstrations, practical experience and discussion.
