Description | Project Description
Wide spectrum pesticides as glyphosate and boscalid are widely used in the Netherlands. In soils, pesticides are accumulated even after several years of application. After monitoring, we found middle to high concentrations of those pesticides in soils from the North of the Netherlands. The aim of this Master research is to study the effect of these pesticides on the biodiversity of soil organisms, from microorganisms until macrofauna. Therfore, it is adviced that the student has knowledge on microbiology. |
