You will work in an enthusiastic team of specialists in applied Research and Phytopathology.
The Challenge
In horticulture disease management represents one of the biggest challenges. Plant diseases caused by bacteria viruses and fungi can have a considerable impact on production and cause heavy losses. Ensuring an optimal greenhouse hygiene is of great importance to prevent both the entry and the spread of plant diseases. Several disinfectants are on the market each with pro and cons regarding efficacy and side effects (e.g. being corrosive). For this reason choosing the right disinfectant for hands shoes tools and facilities must represent a good compromise between efficacy (against several target organisms) safety for the employees and the environment and reduced damage for equipment.
During your internship you will look at multiple disinfectants available for horticultural use and compare their efficacy and safety in laboratory trials to support the company in identifying the optimal product.
