Book (stand-alone)Guide to laboratory establishment for plant nutrient analysis 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Integrated nutrient management is a well-accepted approach for the sustainable management of soil productivity and increased crop production. It utilizes well-equipped testing laboratories. These need information on a widely acceptable methodology that can ensure reasonable accuracy, speed and reproducibility of results. The method has to be readily comprehensible to those who need to apply it in a routine manner. This publication provides practical guidelines on establishing composite servi ce laboratories; information on the basics of an analytical laboratory; simple methods for estimating soil and plant constituents for assessing soil fertility and making nutrient recommendations; standard methods for estimating the parameters and constituents of irrigation water for assessing the quality; methods for analysing mineral fertilizers to judge their quality; methods for the isolation, identification, multiplication and commercial production of agriculturally useful microbial inocula nts; and details of the equipment, chemicals and glassware required for a given analytical capacity. -

ProjectReinforcing global freedom from rinderpest - MTF/GLO/733/OIE 2019
Also available in:
No results found.In the 1980s, rinderpest killed millions of cattle and wild ruminants across Africa, causing devastating consequences for farmers and pastoralists in some of the world’s poorest rural areas. The eradication of rinderpest in 2011 led to considerable socioeconomic effects –the protection of tens of millions of livestock, which contribute to safeguarding biodiversity and the resilience of ecological systems, as well as an estimated USD 920 million in annual economic benefits for Africa alone. However, dozens of laboratories in at least 36 countries still hold Rinderpest Virus-Containing Material (RVCM), posing a serious threat of inadvertent or malicious release. To help maintain global freedom from rinderpest, this project aimed to minimize the number of laboratories holding RVCM and increase the capacity of countries to rapidly respond to, and recover from the re-emergence of the disease.
