Title : Development and identification of cold tolerant rice genotypes for high hill areas of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Upreti, H.K., Editor ; Khatiwada, S.P. ; J.B Adhikari, Author ; RB Bhujel, Author ; P Mahat, Author Pagination: 115-119 p. Keywords: Cold tolerant ; cold injury rice genotypes high hills livelihood Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food crop of Nepal occupying area of about 1.5 million
hectare from 60 meter in terai to 3050 meter above sea level in high hill Jumla with the
productivity of 3.13 tlha. About 4.46% of the total rice land falls within high hill where
cold injury due to low air temperature is the major constraint in the rice production. An
attempt was made to develop cold tolerant and high yielding rive genotypes for this region
by conducting on station and on farm rice varietal research. On station research were
conducted at ARS Jumla and Khumaltar late planting condition involving 10-12 rice
genotypes during 2009-2012 in randomized complete block design (RCBD). Four
promising lines were evaluated in the farmer's field as on farm trial in OR sites of ARS
Jumla, and ARS Pakhribas during 2009-2012. These lines were compared with standard
check variety Chandannath-3. Among them NR10479-B-33-2-1-1 and NR10482-B-10-3-2-
2 were found promising and preferred by farmers due to its stable high yield over
Chandannath-3 in tested locations. Release and wider dissemination of these genotypes will
help to uplift the livelihood of high hill farmers' and help to reduce the problem of food
security in high hill areas.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=938 Development and identification of cold tolerant rice genotypes for high hill areas of Nepal [printed text] / Upreti, H.K., Editor ; Khatiwada, S.P. ; J.B Adhikari, Author ; RB Bhujel, Author ; P Mahat, Author . - [s.d.] . - 115-119 p.

Title : Rice varietal research for mid hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Upreti, H.K., Editor ; Bista, S., Author ; Sah, S.N., Author ; Prasad, R.C., Author ; HK Prasai, Author ; Dhakal, R., Author Publisher: Hardinath, Janakpur : National Rice Research Programme Publication Date: 2010 Pagination: 142-153 p. Keywords: Fine rice ; genotypes selection mid hills livelihood Abstract: Field experiments were conducted at Khumaltar farm involving 85 rice genotypes during 2004 and 101 in 2005 from previous
selection and exotic rice germplasm to identify input efficient, high yielding, and disease resistant superior rice genotypes for mid
hills. Multi location test of coordinated varietal and farmers field trials were conducted at Pakhribas, Lumle, Dolakha and
Dailekh.These lines were compared with standard check varieties in randomized complete block design. Five promising lines were
evaluated in the farmer's field for adaptability and acceptance test. Selected lines were NR10353-8-2-l, NR10414-34-2-3, NR10492-
7-2-2, NR10491-57-2-1, and NR10515-69-1 based on agro-morphological traits and quality parameters. The major traits used for
selection are days to maturity, plant height, grain type and size and yield. These lines were similar to or superior to standard check
varieties in most of the quality and other yield attributing traits. Among them NR10353-8-2-l was preferred by farmers due to its
input efficient high yield with fine quality rice and lodging resistant and released for general cultivation in the name of Khumal-8.
NR 10492-7-2-2 and NR 10515-69-1 showing yield stability over the year in farmers field across the country. Adoption of these
varieties will increase rice production and help to enhance the livelihood of the hill farmers.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1012 Rice varietal research for mid hills of Nepal [printed text] / Upreti, H.K., Editor ; Bista, S., Author ; Sah, S.N., Author ; Prasad, R.C., Author ; HK Prasai, Author ; Dhakal, R., Author . - Hardinath, Janakpur : National Rice Research Programme, 2010 . - 142-153 p.

Title : Leasehold Veg·erable Farming: An Innovative ·Approach for Improving · Livelihoods of Landless in the Terai region of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: D.P. Acharya, Author ; D.P.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Landless community, livelihood improvement, leasehold vegetable farming Abstract: Leasehold vegetable farming is one of the most ·successful ·interventions being
implemented by Plan/FORWARD partnership programme in Morang district for the last
ten years. To know th~ socioeconomic iiJlplic;ations of thi~ initiative among the landless
communities, this study was carried out. The information_ was collected from_ randomly
selected 63 households using pre-tested structured questionnaires and further backed
up with focus group discussions and field visits. The result of the study revealed that-vegetable
farming in the leasehold blocks was highly remunerative to the landless
families with an increase iFI cropping intensity and productivity. Improved health
situation, better social status, child schooling, self-employment, increased women's
participation in social works along with improv~ment. in the stattJs of basic amenities
including houses, drinking water, toilets, telephones · were a~so . the important
achievements of the intervention over the period: Ninety four percent of the household
experienced the significant changes in the family health situ~tion; 97% indicated that
their social status has been improved through vegetable farming and 98% of the
·respondents: reported that there was significant change in the food security status.
Similarly, leasehold vegetable farming has created self-employment for the 98% of the
landless families, and most of them are continuing this initiat(ve in their own way. About
25% of the beneficiaries have now become landowner holding 0.5 to 29 katthas of land.
The result indicated that leasehold vegetable farming could be one of the best
remunerative options to enhance the livelihoods of landless communities. Hence, this
·kind of initiative needs to be scaled out in a wider range for the benefits of the marginal
peoples, especially the landless, through coordinated efforts of different government
and non-government agencies with better understanding of g~ophysical suitability and
market potential of the selected com_modities. Appropriate policy measures for the
promotion of this type of initiative need to be formulated, endorsed a_rid imp!emented.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=197 Leasehold Veg·erable Farming: An Innovative ·Approach for Improving · Livelihoods of Landless in the Terai region of Nepal [printed text] / D.P.
