From 1st to 28th February 2022 doctoral students of the Siedlce University Doctoral School in the discipline of agriculture and horticulture Katarzyna Jarecka, M.Sc. and Adam Matyszczak, M.Sc. participated in a scientific internship in the Institute of Technology and Life Sciences, State Research Institute in Falenty...
During the internship, the doctoral students familiarized themselves with the scientific-research and organizational activities of the Institute. Working in the microbiological and chemical laboratory of the Institute of Technology and Life Sciences enabled the students to gain skills in the development of microbiological cultures, the principles of incubation and estimation of bacterial colonies, as well as methods for determining plant cell wall fibre fractions (NDF, ADF, ADL, cellulose, hemicellulose) and micro- and macroelements. The internship also allowed to broaden the knowledge on plant fertilisation and its optimisation with the use of natural fertilisers and fodder production on grassland.
