Title : Diversity Study on Lime (Citrus Aurantifolia) Genotypes in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Shrestha, R.L., Author Pagination: 29-36 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Citrus breeding, Lime, Genetic diversity, Lime genotypes. Abstract: A .~wvey and in situ germplasm evaluation was undertaken in Teratlwm, Jhapa. Morang,
Sunsari and Chitawan districts of Nepal in 2002 and 2003 to sllldy diversity and idelltify
superior lime genotypes for off-season production. A total of 32 accessions (I I trees from hill
and 21 from Terai)fromfanners'field and research station were evaluated for tree cmdfruit
characteristics. The information collected from growers and analysis of five· to ten randomly
collected mature fruits from each selected tree were used to characterize the accessions.
Diversity was noted among accessions in fruit shape, surface texture, base shape, apex shape
and fruit size, number of seeds/fruit, juice content, total soluble solids content and citric acid
content Maturity period of all the acid lime genotypes from hill was October to January but
genotypes that can be harvested from July to November were idemified from Terai of which
two accessions maturing during rainy season with better fruit quality have been selected for
commercial cultivation. This study showed that production period of lime in Nepal can be
extended from four months to seven months (July - January) by utilizing location specific
genotypes for Terai and mid-hill climate.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=448 Diversity Study on Lime (Citrus Aurantifolia) Genotypes in Nepal [printed text] / Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Shrestha, R.L., Author . - [s.d.] . - 29-36 p.

Title : Use of Fertilizers and Lime for Enhancing Productivity of Maize Genotypes in Western Hill of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; Krishna B. Karki, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 42-49 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture lime, farmer's practice, yield increase, Zea mays Abstract: Farmers’ field experiment was conducted at Outreach sites in Tanahun and Palpa districts of
Western Nepal with the objectives of evaluating the effects of fertilizers and agricultural
lime on grain production of the local and improved (Manakamana-1) maize varieties during
summer season of year 2003 and 2004. Farmer's practice (without fertilizers) and with
fertilizer 60: 30: 30 kg (N: P2O5: K2O) per hectare with or without agricultural lime (4 t ha-
1), were the treatments in experimental study that was conducted in factorial RCB design
with four farmers as replications. The results revealed that response of fertilizers and
agricultural lime was observed significant plant growth and kernels production including
varieties in both sites of Palpa and Tanahun districts. The highest grain yield of 5.1 t ha-1 was
produced by the local variety when the crop was supplied with 60:30:30 kg N, P2O5 and K2O
ha-1 along with 4 t ha-1 of agricultural lime in Tanahun. Manakamana-1 variety produced the
maximum grain yield (4.45 t ha-1) with the same level of fertilization. The two district mean
grain yield result indicated that the highest grain yield of 3.9 t ha-1 was produced when the
crop was supplied with 60: 30: 30 kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 with agri-lime. Hence it is
suggested that to increase maize productivity in the hills irrespective of the maize variety
application of fertilizers (60: 30: 30) with agricultural lime (4 t ha-1) is needed.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=26

Title : Study on soil fertility status of vegetable growing pocket areas of dhading district, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Thapa, B., Author ; D Khadka, Author ; S.P Vista, Author Pagination: 135-140 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture lime, acidic soil, organic matter, soil nutrient status, vegetable growing area. Abstract: A study was conducted for assessing nutrient status of vegetable growing area in Naubise, Jeevanpur and Kebalpur VDCs of Dhading district. These sites are pocket areas popularly for the vegetable production. A total of 36, 20 and 26 soil samples were collected from farmers’’ field at 0-20 cm depth by using soil sampling auger from Naubise, Jeevanpur and Kebalpur, respectively. Laboratory analysis for the determination of soil pH, OM, N, P2O5 and K2O was done following standard method in the laboratory of Soil Science Division, Khumaltar. The soil test data revealed that mean soil pH (5.95±0.061) of Naubise site was slightly acidic, low in organic matter (OM) (2.45±0.15%), medium in total nitrogen (0.11±0.004%), very high in phosphorus (372.6±43.26 kg ha-1) and medium in potassium (245.3±59.3 kg ha-1)……………………..
