The third inter-laboratory analytical quality control exercise was conducted for surface water laboratories in India. 35 laboratories participated by analyzing standard samples for 9 parameters. The performance of laboratories varied widely across parameters. Only 16 laboratories reported results for all 9 parameters. 4 laboratories could not analyze any parameter accurately. The highest performance was for conductivity and sodium analysis while the lowest was for boron. Systematic errors affected results more than random errors for most laboratories and parameters as indicated by result clusters in specific quadrants of Youden plots. Overall, the exercise revealed opportunities to improve accuracy for many laboratories and parameters.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Networks (RESOLANs) in term of regional harmonization of
the procedures to assess soil nutrient parameters.
31. To disseminate the knowledge collected in the manuals, it is proposed that
each RESOLAN select one laboratory that will be called a ‘Regional
Reference Center (RRC).
- to provide regional and international trainings (CAPACITY BUILDING)
- to facilitate standardization and harmonization of the methods within
and between regions (also exchange programmes)
- to facilitate the execution of activities in GLOSOLAN as needed
34. Regional Reference Centers (RRC)
Ring test = same soil to different labs…
BETWEEN Regionsactivities BETWEEN Regions
35. Estimated required budget
USD 500 000 to
- Write and publish the manuals
- Build the capacity of RRC
- Organize regional trainings in the RRCs
36. Roadmap and main decisions:
Action Status
Develop an agenda for a second
meeting with an operational focus in
October/November 2018.
- Ring test
- Data policy
- Standard Operational Procedures
- Lab accreditation
- New innovation techniques
Undergoing: inputs for discussion
at the next meeting are being
collected

44. • National Reference Lab are identified in almost
every country of the region
• There is a detailed diagnosis of 16 labs present in
México
• A Directive Group was established
• A Whatsapp group was established among all the
members
ADVANCES
MAIN ACHIEVEMENT
•First round of “Ring Test” was established
45. CHARACTERISTICS OF “Ring Test” ESTABLISHED
3 samples of 250 g each
(Special letter for the phytosanitary control offices
of each country allowed the entry of 100% of the
samples without problem)
Soil parameters to evaluate:
pH
Total Carbon and Total Organic Carbon
Oxydized Organic Carbon, (Walkley & Black)
Total Nitrogen, (Kjeldahl y Dumas)
Exchangeable Ca-Mg-K, (Ammonium acetate)
Two protocols:
Lab routine
Consensus protocols (SOPs)
46. CALENDAR FOR FUTURES ACTIVITIES:
•Samples are in the countries since March
•Labs are doing lab routine process
•During June SOPs will be send
•June 30, Round 1 will begin
•July 31, Round 1 will finish
•Sep 15, Results of Round 1 will be send by Ring Test
Coordinator (A Guerrero)
• August 12-17, presentation of GLOSOLAN and
RESOLANs at the World Congress of Soil Science
(WCSS)
• Next meeting of LATSOLAN will happen during the next
Latin American Congress of Soil Science in Uruguay,
2019
47. Conclusions
If you want to get good quality data, there is the need to
invest in GLOSOLAN and RESOLANs’ activities:
-Need to spread the voice on the network (experts to
contribute);
-Need for laboratories to join network’s activities;
-Need to ease the distribution to soil samples for the ring
test;
-Need to mobilize financial resources to implement
network’s activities.
48. Ring test: the highest priority because…
It will never be possible to have one standard
For >100 years :
- meter/hectares/grammes/liter are standards,
but miles/acres/pounds/gallons are still used…
- all countries have electricity,
but they are still 12 standards for the plugs.

With minimal financial investment
we can improve the quality of soil
data & we can also monitor
annually this lab improvement.
