Title : Tillage affects the soil properties and crop yields Material Type: printed text Authors: T Karki, Author ; Shrestha, J., Author Pagination: 432-438 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Conservation tillage, soil properties, yields. Abstract: With the aim of consolidating the information of soil tillage and its effect on soil properties and crop yields, a brief review of the works being done within and outside the country was carried out. The review revealed that conventional agriculture system with intensive tillage practices deteriorated the soil quality and affected the crop yields. Tillage decreased the soil organic carbon, the crucial store house of soil-plant system and the major nutrient nitrogen over longer run. Conservation tillage (CT) also called the minimum or no tillage where soil is covered with crop residue, significantly improved the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. CT increased the soil aggregates of more than 2 mm by 134%, increased water availability by 36-45 %, and porosity. Similarly, higher thermal conductivity in CT soils produced the lower increase in soil temperature in the upper soil profile. In CT, soil pH was higher in surface but lower in sub surface………………….

Title : A Comparative Study of the Physico-Chemical Characters of Mango (Mangifera indica Linn.) at Nepalgunj Material Type: printed text Authors: Samid Ahamad, Author ; Ram Bahadur KC, Author Pagination: 65-67 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Mango, physico-chemical properties, sensory evaluation, total soluble solids Abstract: Mango is one of the popular fruit in fVepal. An experiment was carried out to study
the physico-chemical properties of mango at Regional Agricultural Research
Station Khajura, Nepalgunj in fiscal year 2062/063. A total of 12 varieties (viz.
Amrapali, Mallika, Daseri, Bombay green, Chausa, Fajari, Maida, Krishnabhog,
Taimuriya. Go/a, Sinuria and Makhangola) were tested in the experiment in RCB
desine with 3 replications. Maximum weight and volume was observed for
Krishnabhog followed by Fajari, where as maximum specific gravity was recorded in
Makhango/a. Similarly, maximum pulp and minimum peel percent were recorded in
Fajari followed by Maldah and Krishnabhog. Likewise, minimum stone percent was
recorded for Krishnabhog. Maximum pH was found for Taimuriya where as
maximum total soluble solids (TSS) was in Daseri, Bombay green and Go/a.
Maximum score of sensory evaluation were also observed by Daseri, Bombay
green and Go/a varieties. The results revealed that Daseri, Bombay green and Go/a
varieties are more suitable for table purpose.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=204 A Comparative Study of the Physico-Chemical Characters of Mango (Mangifera indica Linn.) at Nepalgunj [printed text] / Samid Ahamad, Author ; Ram Bahadur KC, Author . - [s.d.] . - 65-67 p.
