During the visit, students were introduced to key laboratory instruments used in soil and water analysis, including the flame photometer, UV–Vis spectrophotometer, EC and pH meters, hydrometer soil-texture analyzer, turbidity meter, dissolved oxygen (DO) meter, and atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS).
This visit supports the university’s commitment to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, through integrating theoretical learning with real-world field training, as well as SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation and SDG 15: Life on Land. Such activities contribute to preparing students to effectively engage in the agricultural and research sectors.
