Summer school on bioactive natural compounds in soil, Slagelse, Denmark

RECETO, an interdisciplinary research school of environmental chemistry, microbiology and toxicology, is organising a PhD summer school on bioactive natural compounds in soil from 26 to 31 July in Slagelse, Denmark.

Bioactive natural compounds from plants have been the focus of research for decades, firstly due to their pharmacological effects, and secondly due to their defence properties against arthropods, nematodes, plants and diseases.

This course will cover the chemistry of selected groups of bioactive natural compounds from agricultural crops and wild plants, their sorption, degradation and leaching in soils, chemical analytical techniques and their suppressive effects on plants and arthropods.For further information, please visit:
