Documentation from Workshop on pesticide fate in soil and water in the northern zone

The aim of the workshop was to bring together representatives from research, authorities and industry for sharing knowledge through presentations and discussions related to pesticide fate and pesticide risk assessment with a focus on the northern zone.

More than 60 persons attended the workshop and both presentations and time for discussions were highly appreciated.
