Some of tomorrow's plant health experts spent a day in the field with us 🌱
Yesterday we were happy to welcome around 30 MSc and PhD students from the Euroleague of Life Sciences Universities Summer School to our South Sweden field trial station.
The Summer School explores how changing legislation, environmental pressures and scientific developments are shaping the future of plant protection. During the visit, we looked at what that means in practice: from choosing the right field trial site and designing scientifically robust studies to understanding how field data supports regulatory decisions.
Of course, no visit to a field trial station would be complete without getting out into the field. The students also had the opportunity to see our facilities, specialised machinery and ongoing trials, while discussing the practical challenges behind generating reliable data.
It's always rewarding to meet students who are curious about where science meets real-world application. We enjoyed the discussions throughout the day and hope the visit offered a useful perspective on the role field research plays in bringing new plant protection solutions to agriculture.
Thank you to all the students and everyone involved in the ELLS Summer School for visiting us!
