DocumentFAO Specifications and Evaluations for Agricultural Pesticides - GAMMA-HCH (LINDANE) + MERCURIAL POWDERS FOR SEED TREATMENT
AGP: CP/95, 1980
1980Also available in:
No results found."FAO establishes and publishes specifications* for technical material and related formulations of agricultural pesticides, with the objective that these specifications may be used to provide an international point of reference against which products can be judged either for regulatory purposes or in commercial dealings. From 1999 onward, the development of FAO specifications follows the New Procedure, described first in the 5th edition of the ""Manual on the development and use of FAO specifications for plant protection products"" and later in the 1st edition of “Manual for Development and Use of FAO and WHO Specifications for Pesticides” (2002) - currently available as 3rd revision of the 1st edition (2016), which is available only on the internet through the FAO and WHO web sites.

DocumentPatula pine (Pinus patula) cones opening under different treatments for rapid seed extraction in Londiani, Kenya
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Seed extraction from pines is challenging to the forestry sector globally. This is usually contributed by the pine cone anatomy that opens through a function of temperature and humidity which varies widely in the pine growing regions of the world and the Pinus species as observed in previous works done on Pinus roxburghii, Pinus halepensis, Pinus wallichiana, Pinus pinaster, Pinus radiata, and Pinus sylvestris. This study sought to reduce the extraction time and improve the extraction efficiency of Pinus patula seed in Kenya. The experimental design used was two factorial design with replicates of twenty cones randomly picked per treatment. Data analysis was analyzed through ANOVA with a Pvalue of 0.05. We present evidence that soaking does not influence the opening of cones and seed yield for the optimum temperature which the study determined to be 65°C. We also present evidence that, for rapid seed extraction, the temperature 65°C with an exposure period of between 4 and 24 h is significantly effective. This study presents a new understanding of rapid seed extraction, which contributes to one of the Kenya Forestry Research Institute’s strategic objectives of generating technologies for enhanced production of superior germplasm for priority tree species.
