Title : Soil fertility status of Nepal: Report from laboratory analysis of soil samples of five developmental regions Material Type: printed text Authors: Shree P Vista, Author ; Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author Pagination: 42-52 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Acidic condition, organic matter, phosphorus and potash, soil fertility. Abstract: Soil Management Directorate along with Regional Soil Testing Laboratories in diferent Region under Government of Nepal has the mandate to test soil sample across the country. A report on soil fertility status of Nepal was prepared based on the result obtained from seven soil testing laboratories in the fiscal year 2070/71. In this FY, a total of 1700 soil samples were analyzed to determine the status of soil nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P2O5), potash (K2O), Organic Matter (OM) and pH. The results revealed that majority of the soil samples were found to be acidic (53%). Similarly, OM range from low to medium and majority of the samples have low content of soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. While comparing the soil fertility status of five development Regions of Nepal, soil pH was found to be dominated by acidic condition except for Far- Western Developmental Region. The organic matter content of the majority of the sample from Eastern Development and Far-Western Development Region was very low. While the OM content of other Region range from low to medium. The nitrogen results also range from low to medium across all the Regions. The status of phosphorus and potash is low in Eastern Region whereas low to high in other Regions. The paper also explored the average status of soil fertility of 38 districts which were mapped by Soil Management Directorate in coordination with respective District Agriculture Development Office. The status of soil nutrient content is declining throughout the nation but the rate of declining is higher in eastern part of Nepal. In this context the technologies to manage soil fertility status should be disseminated throughout the nation. The Government should facilitate to develop its manpower and appropriate technologies.

Title : Soil Organic carbon stocks estimation and mapping by using geographic information systems in Rautahat District Material Type: printed text Authors: K Sah, Author ; S Lamichhane, Author ; B Silwal, Author Pagination: 368-373 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Crop productivity, field survey, GIS, mapping organic carbon, soil fertility. Abstract: Agriculture is the backbone of Nepal and more than 60% people are involved in agriculture for their livelihood. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is depleting day by day from the agricultural lands due to human activities and soil erosion. SOC is the prime component of soil which governs the soil fertility, soil health, crop productivity and climate change. Conventional methods of determining SOC by farmers interviews and eye estimation is time consuming and less authentic. The application of geographic information systems (GIS) and field survey for SOC estimation and mapping is more accurate and less time consuming…………………….

Title : Soil nutrition distribution in Eastern Tarai of Nepal:A case study of Jhorahat VDC of Morang District Material Type: printed text Authors: R.P Tandan, Author ; R Rai, Author ; L Basnet, Author ; Karki K.B, Author Pagination: 358-367 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: GIS, Jhorahat VDC, land use, soil classification, fertility. Abstract: Food deficit, declining productivity of land and environmental degradation are directly related with the soil nutrition and its properties. In this context, the role of soil properties is considered as basis for sustainable land resource management and planning. The National Land Use Project (NLUP) is preparing land resource map at VDC level and The UN HABITAT is lunched Participatory Land Use Project (PLUP) as pilot resource mapping to prepare quality of land resource mapping with cost effective and effective implementation of resource mapping result. Jhorahat VDC lies in the eastern part of Morang District and occupies 982 ha area…………………………
