Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe FAO Component of the 2009 Consolidated Appeals 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This document summarizes FAO’s contributions to the twelve appeals prepared in close consultation with partners for the 2009 CAP. It includes a brief overview of the agriculture and food security requirements, together with highlights of FAO’s responses and funding needs for: the Central African Republic; Chad; Côte d’Ivoire; the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Iraq; Kenya; Somalia; the Sudan; Uganda; West Africa; the West Bank and Gaza Strip; and Zimbabwe. Confl icts and disasters have se verely disrupted agricultural production and markets in these countries and many households are no longer able to meet their basic food needs. Interventions to restore and protect the livelihoods of populations affected by crisis are as important as immediate lifesaving efforts. They not only prevent situations from getting worse, but also lay the foundations for sustainable recovery and development. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureStandard operating procedure for soil total nitrogen - Dumas dry combustion method 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) describes, in general terms, the quantification of TN content in soil samples by an elemental analyzer. The procedure measures both organic nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen together. A typical limit of detection is 0,1 g kg-1 N, and a typical limit of quantification is 0,3 g kg-1 N, however this varies depending on the manufacturer and detector settings. -

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.
