No results found.The Consultation on the Application of Article 9 of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries in the Mediterranean Region was the final activity of a special project (TEMP/RER/908/MUL) requested and financed by the Italian Government. It was held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 19 to 23 July 1999. It was attended by delegations from 20 members of GFCM and by observers. The Consultation discussed two working documents presented by the Secretariat. The first was the synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries, and the second was a proposal for elements to be considered for the preparation of action plans at national and regional levels. Three Working Groups were created to discuss the elements dealing with: dissemination of the Code and improvement of the planning process (Working Group 1), enhancement of harmonization between aquaculture development and environmental conservation (Working Group 2), and use of the Code to upgrade the economic value o f aquaculture and to improve and stabilize trade in aquaculture products in the Mediterranean (Working Group 3). The three Working Group evaluated the document provided by the Secretariat and improved the list of proposed activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional level and general mechanisms for their implementation were also proposed. The Consultation recommended that the GFCM be the umbrella institution for implementation of the programme of activities id entified by the Working Groups.

Book (series)Technical studyTaro cultivation in Asia and the Pacific 1999
Also available in:
No results found.Taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott occupies a significant place in the agriculture of the Asia-Pacific Region. It is in this region, more than any other in the world, that the crop attains its greatest importance as a staple food. In Oceania particularly, taro plays a critical role in the household, community, and national food security. Since both corms and leaves are usually consumed, taro supplies much-needed protein, vitamins, and minerals, in addition to carbohydrate energy. The socio-cultural importance of taro in the region is very high. The crop has evolved to be an integral part of the culture and features prominently in festivals, social gift-giving, and the discharge of social obligations. More recently, taro has become a source of income for individuals, and an earner of foreign exchange. Its role in rural development has therefore been increasing, especially with respect to the provision of employment and the alleviation of rural poverty. Given the importance of taro, activities need to be geared toward its research, development, and available literature. This book is, therefore, a valuable and timely effort to fill some of the information gaps with respect to taro in the Asia-Pacific Region. Apart from a general coverage of the region, it delves into a country-by-country treatment of taro cultivation in 19 of the most important taro-growing countries in the region. The publication will be a useful reference source for researchers, extension workers, growers, and entrepreneurs who are interested in taro. The presentation has placed emphasis on clarity and simplicity to permit easy understanding even by persons for whom English is a second language. -
BookletCorporate general interestStandard operating procedure for soil nitrogen - Kjeldahl method 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes, in general terms, the quantification of the Kjeldahl nitrogen(KjN) content in soil samples. The advantages of this method are based on its robustness, low initial cost of the equipment and extensive application. However, there are disadvantages in using this method compared to others, for example, the use of potentially hazardous reagents that require consideration for safe operation are utilized, alongside the generation of hazardous waste and on-going cost of consumables, which can be mitigated via modified protocols that use lower quantities of reagents. Another limitation of this method is that it measures organic N and mineral N in the form of ammonium cation (NH4+), therefore, to measure the total N, the mineral N in the form of NO3- must be measured separately -

Also available in:
No results found.This procedure is suitable for calcareous, alkaline, neutral, and slightly acidic soils containing CaPO4, since the calcium concentration in the solution is suppressed by the precipitation of CaCO3, increasing PO4 concentration in solution. Neutral and slightly acid soils (pH 6.0 to 7.0) may contain both Ca- and Al-phosphates. The NaHCO3 extractant can remove Ca-phosphates and phosphate adsorbed on the surface of calcium and magnesium carbonates along with Al-phosphates and is considered the most suitable extractant for these soils.
