DUS DARS 1106: 2023, Tilapia farming — Good aquaculture practices, First Edition: This Draft African Standard applies to good aquaculture practices (GAP) for Tilapia in pond, tanks and cage farming including harvesting and post-harvest handling in order to produce tilapia fish of good quality and safe for consumption. This standard does not cover hatchery and nursery.

This Draft East African Standard provides requirements for organic production. It covers plant production, animal husbandry, aquaculture, sustainable fisheries, bee-keeping, the harvesting of wild products, and the processing and labeling of the products therefrom. It does not cover procedures for verification such as inspection or certification of products.

This draft East African Standard specifies requirements, sampling and test methods for granulated phosphate rock fertilizers of biogenic sedimentary origin.

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.

This Draft Uganda Standard specifies requirements, sampling and test methods for biofertilizers. (...) Biofertilizers are products containing carrier based (solid or liquid) living microorganisms which are agriculturally useful in terms for instance of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilisation or nutrient mobilization, to increase the productivity of the soil and/or crop. Biofertilizers are most commonly referred to the use of soil microorganisms to increase the availability and uptake of mineral nutrients for plants. Whether the existence of a microorganism increases the growth of plants by making nutrients more available or replacing soil nutrients or increasing plant access to nutrient, as long as the nutrient status of the plant has been enhanced by the microorganisms, the substance that was applied to the plant or soil containing the microorganisms, can be characterized as a biofertilizers. Biofertilizers, known as microbial products, act as nutrient suppliers and soil conditioners that lower agricultural burden and conserve the environment. Good soil condition is imperative to increased crop production, as well as human and/or animal health welfare. Thus, the materials used to sustain good soil condition, are treated as environmental matters.(...) we will do our best to develop better production techniques and to improve the management system for microbial products. Although the effects of biofertilizers are different among nations due to variances in climate and soil conditions, the importance of biofertilizers on environmental conservation in the 21st century must not be ignored. In the same manner, various biotechnologies should be accepted for increasing the biofertilizers effects with concern for the environment.

1.1 This practice covers the preservation of waterborne oil samples from the time of collection to the time of analysis. Information is provided to ensure sample integrity and to avoid contamination and to minimize microbial degradation.
1.2 The practice is for controlled field or laboratory conditions and specifies thorough preparation of equipment and precise operation. Where these details must be compromised in a field emergency, nonstandard simplifications are recommended that will minimize or eliminate consequent errors. (...)
