Pesticide testing is both complex and costly and often a lack of understanding and the inability to ask for the correct details can often lead to confusion and extra costs. This course collates all the fundamentals that are related to pesticide testing from taking a sample and understanding the report. The courses provide an insight to both technical and practical knowledge and is ideally suited to Technical and QA Managers but also to all individuals connected with the pesticide testing.. The information presented will enable a better understanding and management of the analytical data and help establish effective communication with the laboratory

The course will cover the following areas:

  • A general introduction to pesticides testing

  • Pesticide Legislation – Guest speaker – Dr Phil Gurney (AUDAX)

  • Risk analysis of spray programmes
