Identification of Suitable Planting Method for Potato + Maize Intercropping System in the Hill of Eastern Nepal / Barakoti, T.P. in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 8 (2007)

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 : Exploration of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) cultivation under high hills condition Material Type: printed text Authors: Chaudhary, B.N., Author ; Y. R. Pandey, Author Pagination: 92-96p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Artificial method, flower, saffron, traditional method Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Rajikot, Jumla during 1997/98 - 1999/00. The main objectives of the study were to evaluate the different sizes of saffron bulbs (corms) for flower yield and to explore the economic method of saffron cultivation for the income generation of high hills farmers of Nepal. For the evaluation of different sizes of mother corms, four treatments viz less than 5 g, 5-10 g, 10-15 g and more than 15 g bulb sizes were evaluated for flower and bulb yields……

Title : Graham’s Colorimetry as an estimate of Soil Organic Carbon in Chitwan Valley Soils, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: R Ghimire, Author ; S.C Shah, Author ; K.R Dahal, Author ; J.G Lauren, Author ; Adhikari, C., Author Pagination: 405-409 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Colorimetric method, dry combustion, soil organic matters, texture Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) influences soil physical and chemical processes, and serves as repository source of plant nutrients. Limited information is available concerning SOC status of different layers in Nepalese soils. Two hundred soil samples from five different soil depths (0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-30 and 30-50 cm) of Rampur and Baireni, were analyzed to evaluate the precision of Graham’s colorimetric method of SOC analysis. The SOC values obtained from Graham’s colorimetric method were compared with dry combustion SOC values for the same soil samples………………
