Pesticide reduction is urgent for health, biodiversity, foodsecurity and a sustainable future for farmers. The @EU_Commission withdrawal of the #Pesticide Reduction #SUR is weak and offers no solution.

I am looking for an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student, on a fully funded scholarship (€22,000/year). This project will develop novel adsorption based biotechnological systems using mixed microbial communities.

Appy by 15th December 2023.
Our latest paper from the @PestMan_NUIG project is now available online.
Batch adsorption of herbicides from aqueous solution onto diverse reusable materials and granulated activated carbon

A short video of our small-scale column study is here: https://t.co/pElxzUKKcC. This method can accurately, and realistically, measure the ability of media to adsorb pesticides. You can read about the theory here: https://t.co/i4fuxhl7fw
Our homemade auto sampler in action! This set-up is capable of measuring #pesticide adsorption realistically and within a very short period of time. See https://t.co/fRwO6U9ke4 for further info on method. @EPAResearchNews
First soil collected, transported to @nuigalway and currently air drying in the lab on a heated pad. Shane will be using this in a column study to investigate the impact of pesticides on soil microorganisms. @EPAResearchNews @TeagascACP @RyanInstitute@GENE_NUIG @ResearchatNUIG
Another video showing the methodology behind the selection of optimal intervention locations for #pesticides. This time it's the Corduff catchment in Monaghan. You can listen to my soothing commentary here :-) : https://t.co/W45FOKrPPE @onehealth_nuig @EPAResearchNews
The use of the @EPAResearchNews Maps app to help identify the potential locations of our #pesticide interventions. You can see a demonstration here: https://t.co/NFge1RznD8 @TeagascACP @onehealth_nuig
A presentation to the @onehealth_nuig annual conference recently on our @EPAIreland and @agriculture_ie funded project on #pesticide management. You can view the slides at https://t.co/XA3QLHmKZX
