0 a small closed container made of paper or plastic, containing a small amount of something, usually enough for only one occasion:
a sachet of sugar
1 a small plastic or paper package containing a small amount of a liquid or powder, usually enough for only one occasion:
a sachet of shampoo
Acetone was replenished, attractant sachets were replaced if finished, torn or faded cloths were replaced and vegetation growth around the targets was cleared.
For example, one sachet of shampoo might be bought on the occasion of a family wedding, and carefully shared out between the household's young women.
The decline in numbers of ungerminated seeds recorded was entirely caused by increasing numbers of seeds germinating within the sachets during the sampling period.
The number of replicates of sachets, each containing approximately 200 seeds, was dependent on available seed quantity.
The fate of seeds under natural conditions was also monitored throughout the year from core samples and from seed samples buried in the sediment layer in nylon sachets.
From these stocks 5 g was packed in custom-made paper sachets and fed to individual kids, trained to consume the sachets voluntarily, before the morning feeding.
A single sachet was then retrieved at approximately monthly or bi-monthly intervals throughout the following year, when the number of seeds that remained viable but intact was quantified.
People were told that if they gave 5p, that would buy a sachet and save a life.
