Title : Improving manure quality and its use in maize and upland rice production in the hills of Western Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Tripathi, B.P., Author ; Jim Ellis-Jones, Author Pagination: 105-110p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Chemical fertilizer, farmers practice, maize and rice, organic manure Abstract: Organic manure is the major source of plant nutrients in the hill farming system of Nepal but the quality of manure is not maintained by the farmers during the storage as well as application in the field. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to enhance the quality of manure and its use in the production of maize and upland rice in the farmers' field in different agro-climate conditions of the western hill s of Nepal. Manure heaps or pits practiced by the farmers were covered with black plastic sheets (improved practice) and uncovered (farmers' practice)..…..

Title : Soil Fertility under Improved and Conventional Management Practices in Sanga, Kavrepalanchowk District, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, Ram Krishna, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 27-37 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Improved soil management practice, organic matter, fertility,upland Abstract: A study was carried out to compare the fertility of soils under improved soil
management practice with that of prevailing conventional practice and to
assess the farmers’ perception on the improved practice in the upland
farming system. The study was carried out in Nasikasthan Sanga of
Kavrepalanchok district of Nepal. Soil samples were collected from fields
under improved conventional practice. Samples were taken at 0-15 and 15-30
cm depths and were analyzed for various physico-chemical properties to
compare the fertility status of the soils under both the practices. Altogether
68 farmers were interviewed to have information on farming practices and
information pertinent to improved soil management practice being adopted
by them. Results from soil physico-chemical analysis showed higher fertility
of soils under improved practice in terms of more favorable pH level,
contents of exchangeable bases, available phosphorus and soil organic matter
compared to prevailing conventional soil management practice. Moreover,
majority of the farmers believed that soil fertility and physical condition of
their upland soils had improved and that the productivity of major upland
crops had also increased after the adoption of improved soil management
practice. Improved practice could play an important role in the sustainable
management of upland soils in the mid hills of Nepal. It is however,
desirable to conduct long-term research to further ascertain theLink for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=5

[article]
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 : Socio-economic Study on Current Farmer's Practices on Wheat and Mustard Production Systems in Surkhet, Salyan and Doti Districts Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur, Naresh Singh, Author ; Khadka, Ramji, Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 49-55 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Key words: Farmer's practice, impact evaluation, mixed crops, socio-economic study Abstract: Wheat is one of the major cereal crops grown as a mono crop or mixed with mustard/lentil or pea
in the Mid and Far Western Development Regions. The main objective of the study was to explore
the existing cropping practices of wheat and mustard production systems and to establish a
benchmark for further impact evaluation. Three representative districts Surkhet, Salyan and Doti
were selected for the socio-economic study in wheat and mustard production system. A total of 92
households were surveyed (using two stage purposive random sampling method) in the districts
and information was also collected through RRA techniques. The total population of the surveyed
households was 744 with an average family size of 7.8, 8.3 and 8.3 persons in Surkhet, Salyan and
Doti, respectively. Brahmin/Chhetri (66%) and Gurung/Newar (1%) were the major and minor
groups, respectively. The total area of the surveyed households was 79.96 hectares with an
average farm size of 0.91, 1.02 and 0.60 hectare for Surkhet, Salyan and Doti respectively.
Recommendation was made to identify the technology on mixed cropping of wheat and mustard
for appropriate time of planting to maximize productivity of wheat and mustard crops without
disturbing the existing farmer's practices.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=79
