Title : Testing and evaluation of Mini SRR Dryer in Nepal for rice crop Material Type: printed text Authors: G.B Manandhar, Author ; Rabi Rasaily, Author ; Shrestha, G.L., Author ; R.R Bakker, Author Pagination: 19-27 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Drying air temperature, drying cost, rate, moisture content, payback period Abstract: Mini SRR rice seed dryer received from IRRI consisted of a cylindrical bin, an electric blower (2.5”, 320 watt) with a cylindrical support, a rice husk stove and a metallic pipe. Eight tests were conducted during rainy weeks of Ju ly ,2002 three at Kavre Palanchowk, four at Dhanusha and one at Parsa district Grain loaded varied from 145 to 175 kg with moisture content (MC) from 17.8 to 23.5%. Overall drying rate with rice husk as source of heat was found to be 0.45% MC/hour, which is much higher, compared to results of Vietnamese SRR-1 dryer with electricity as heat source. Extrapolation to 13% final MC by simple linear regression showed an association with one another in a linear way (r = 0.83). With 250 kg loading, drying cost for one ton rice was found to be Rs476 for IRRI dryer but in replicated dryer without heat insulation on metal pipe, it was found to be Rs874 due to lower blower RPM. However, computations show that even cost of replicated dryer would be paid back within 10 years with 35 days of operation per year. It showed the possibility of commercializing t he dryer for the small farmers either for seed or for food grain purpose. Maximum thermal efficiency of 22.4% was obtained at 0.6 kg rice husk/hour and 44.7°C drying air temperature (DAT). With DAT from 44.7°C to 49.0°C at Kavre germination rate of paddy varied from 77-88%. The study, also aimed a t enhancing the coverage of early rice in the country, has shown encouraging result.

Title : Efficacy of different non-chemical grain protectants against lentil seeds Material Type: printed text Authors: Upadhyay, I.P., Author ; N.H Ghimire, Author ; R.B Yadav, Author Pagination: 299-306 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Seed Quality, Grain Protectants, Moisture Content, Germination, Insect Infestation Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Nepalgunj in the years 2007 and 2009 with a view to find out the effectiveness of some locally available non-chemical grain protectants for lentil seed storage. The experiment consisted of eleven treatments with three replications in Completely Randomized Design. The treatments were: Lentil + sawdust 1:l (v/v); lentil + ash 2: l (v/v); lentil + ash 4: 1 (v/v) lentil + fine sand 2: l (v/v); lentil + fine sand 4: l (v/v); Groundnut oil @ 5 ml/kg seed; Sesame oil @ 5 ml/kg seed; Dried neem leaves powder @ 100 g/kg seed; Dried neem leaves powder @ 50 g/kg seed; Household lime @ 10 g/kg seed and Control (lentil seeds only)...........

Title : Soil types and fertility status in Western Terai Region of Nepal: A case from the Bankatawa VDC of the Banke District Material Type: printed text Authors: Tiwari, K.R., Author Pagination: 308-315 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cropping pattern nutrient content, soil classification and profile. Abstract: Soil has a crucial role in addressing some of the key issues in the present context such as food security, and climate change and provide a key natural resources asset underpinning sustainable development. Land use change, soil degradation are the major problems for agriculture production and food security in Nepal. To address the issue of these problems National Land Use Project, Ministry of Land Reform and Management, Government of Nepal has implemented the project to prepare land use plan at VDC level. Soil survey and classification as well as soil fertility analysis for land use planning was done to classify the different soil types and fertility status of the area. The study was chosen Bankatawa VDC of the Banka District of Nepal. A Semi-detailed soil survey was conducted in February 2014, to delineate and map the existing soil types supported by remote sensing technique and geographical information system (GIS) analysis………………..
