Manual / guideBlue-green algae for rice production. A manual for its promotion
FAO Soils Bulletin No. 46
1981Also available in:
No results found.This manual is designed to give detailed, practical advice on the various methodologies of organic recycling. Blue-green algae form a self-sufficient system which is capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen in organic forms and which grows upon a free water surface. It is thus ideally suited for propagation in rice fields. The development and use of blue-green algae require special techniques. The manual summarizes the present status of algal biofertilizer technology for rice with practical inform ation for its adoption by agricultural extension personnel and subject matter specialists. If properly extended, the technology holds the promise of providing 25-30 kg N/ha every season to the growing crop. It also holds the promise of generating rural income and employment. The ultimate success of the technology depends not only on creating an awareness but also on building a trained manpower reserve capable of applying the existing knowledge and carrying out further research. -
Technical studyOrganic materials and soil productivity in the Near East. Papers presented at the FAO/SIDA Workshop on the Use of Organic Materials for Improving Soil Productivity in the Near East. Alexandria (Egypt), 9 Oct 1978
FAO Soils Bulletin 45
1982Also available in:
No results found.This Bulletin contains the papers and proceedings of the FAO/SIDA Workshop on Organic Materials and Soil Productivity in the Near East. In view of the important complementary effect of organic materials to mineral fertilizers and their role in improving the soil?s physical properties, the Workshop has dealt with a wide variety of items on techniques and uses of the organic materials and wastes including, composting, bio-fertilizers and biogas, the environmental and health aspects, and action g uidelines for follow-up activities in the Near East countries. The purpose of this Workshop was to promote and maintain interest in the use of organic materials for improving soil productivity in the Near East Region and to assist Member Countries in developing action programmes to achieve these goals. The proceedings of the workshop present sound recommendations, the implementation of which would assist in improving the soil productivity, raising crop production levels and producing a bette r quality of life. -
