Environment related objective
To ensure that organic fertilizers on the market are appropriately tested through the quality criteria provided while ensuring that farmers obtain only certified products and as well aid the industry in the manufacture of quality organic fertilizers; to use organic fertilizer as an alternative to minimize the environmental pollution
Measure description		Coverage of the measure
DUS 1584:2023, Organic Fertilizer — Specification, Second edition: This Draft Uganda Standard specifies requirements, sampling and test methods for organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are naturally available mineral sources that contain moderate amount of plant essential nutrients. They are capable of mitigating problems associated with synthetic fertilizers. They reduce the necessity of repeated application of synthetic fertilizers to maintain soil fertility. (...) Organic fertilizers are an alternative to minimize the environmental pollution that may be due to excessive use of inorganic fertilizers. Liquid fertiliser contains nutrient compounds that could be applied as plant enhancer and are used in foliar application, as it does not require soil medium and environmentally friendly. An organic liquid fertilizer can be produced from bio-wastes composting as it contains more organic nutrients that are essential to promote healthy plant growth.		Animal or vegetable fertilisers, whether or not mixed together or chemically treated; fertilisers produced by the mixing or chemical treatment of animal or vegetable products (excl. those in pellet or similar forms, or in packages with a gross weight of <= 10 kg); Fertilizers (ICS code(s): 65.080)
Type of measure	Technical regulation; conformity assessment procedures	ICS - HS Code	3101 65.080
