Title : Appropriate plant spacing for cauliflower intercropping under maize Material Type: printed text Authors: Khatiwada, P.P., Author Pagination: 36-40 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cauliflower, intercropping, maize, plant spacing Abstract: This investigation was carried out to identify appropriate combination or plant population of maize and cauliflower for intercropping in potato + maize cropping system. The experiment was carried out at Sinduwa Sub-station, Dhankuta during 1998 to 2000. Three spacings for both of the crops were tested and cauliflower was transplanted after the harvest of potato. Maize grain yield was significantly (P < 0.001) higher (2.66 t/ha) in closer (100- x 25-cm) spacing. Similarly, closer spacing (45- x 30-cm) of cauliflower also yielded significantly (P < 0.01) higher (5.08 t/ha) curd yield than that of 60 x 45-cm (3.87 t/ha). A bivariate analysis of both crops showed that increasing plants population either of cauliflower or maize gave the higher yield. Falling apart of the non-confidence region of 26,666 maize with 74,074 cauliflower plants/ha with 40,000 maize with 74074 cauliflower plants/ha (higher maize yield) and 20,000 maize with 74,074 cauliflower plants/hn (higher cauliflower yield) demonstrate that 26,666 maize population with 74,074 cauliflower population/ha was the more appropriate mix to get balance yield of cauliflower and maize.

Title : Identification of Suitable Planting Method for Potato + Maize Intercropping System in the Hill of Eastern Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Barakoti, T.P., Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 113-119 p General note: Research note Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Effect, intercropping, maize, planting method, potato Abstract: Field experiments to identify suitable planting method under potato + maize system in the
high hill (2200 m) of eastern Nepal Sindhuwa, Dhankuta, was conducted during 2000 and
2001 seasons for the potato variety Hale and maize variety Ganesh 1. Of the different
planting methods tested, significantly the highest yield of potato (15.5 t/ha) was recorded
from the alternate row planting followed by recommended practice and flat row planting.
Early emergence (by 7-12 days) was in farmers' practice, whereas uniform plants (1-5
scale) observed in flat row and double row planting. Maize did not follow this trend.
Double row and farmer's practice favored good ground coverage (80-95%) by potato
plants, which attained height from 49.8cm (farmer's practice) to 56.8 cm (flat row).
Number of main stems/plant was higher in all treatments, except farmer's practice. Similar
trend was followed in tuber numbers. Maturity of crops did not depend on planting
methods. Final stand of potato ranged between 46.9 (alternate row) and 68.6 thousand/ha
(farmer's practice). Late blight and bacterial wilt infection was higher in the farmers'
practice. The height of maize plants was significantly differed between sole cropping (220
cm), which yielded higher followed by alternate row (183 cm) and flat row plantings.
Gross income from maize and potato was higher in flat row planting. The data revealed that
alternate row and flat row planting methods were superior over the common farmers'
practice and the recommended practice, so the identified planting methods were
recommended.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=36

Title : Pigeon Pea Based Intercropping System in Western Terai of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudel C.L., Author Publication Date: 1997 Article on page: 1-5 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Intercropping, pigeon pea cultivation, land equivalent ratio, sole crops Abstract: A field experiment of pigeon pea based intercropping system was conducted at the Regional Agriculture Research Station, Nepalgunj during 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons with objectives to find out the effect of different inter-crop species on pigeon pea productivity and to develop profitable intercropping system for the rainfed upland areas of land. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with sole pigeon pea and other crops and their combinations. The yield and yield components of pigeon pea were not affected by intercrops and the pigeon pea/maize intercropping in 1:1 ratio gave the highest monetary return and land equivalent ratio (LER) of 1.53. The yield advantage was more in intercropping than all sole systems, though the pigeon pea yield was reduced when it was intercropped with rice

Title : Role of legume intercropping in sustainable farming in mid hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: G Shrestha, Author ; Karki K.B, Author ; G.D Bhatta, Author Pagination: 58-64 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Intercropping, Rhizobium inoculation, soil fertility, sustainability, yield, Abstract: Legumes are one of the important sources of cheap nitrogen fertilizer for soil as well as protein in human and animal diets and they are prominent crops under subsistence agricultural economy of Nepal. These crops are even much important in mid hills where large chunk of lands are sloppy by nature and needs proper conservation practices particularly with the use of legume crops. The study has been carried out to monitor status of legume intercropping in maize based cropping pattern and its role in sustainable farming in mid hills of Nepal. Nitrogen contribution by legume intercropping in the soil fertility maintenance has been found modest than under mono cropped maize fields. Although productivity of sole cropped maize is higher than that of legume intercropped, farmers have perceived that weed problem is lesser in legume intercropped area…………………
