Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureStandard operating procedure for soil available phosphorus - Olsen method 2021
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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
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
