Title : Economic Analysis of Commercial Potato Cultivation in Kusadevi, Kavre Material Type: printed text Authors: Govinda P. Sharma, Author ; Tulasi Gautam, Author ; Shambhu. P. Dhakal, Author ; Shyam P. Dhakal, Author Pagination: 117-125 p.benefit/cost ratio; commercial potato; cost of cultivation; farm gate price; Kavre district, net farm income, return on investment, small farmers Languages : English (eng) Keywords: benefit/cost ratio; commercial potato; cost of cultivation; farm gate price; Kavre
district, net income, return on investment, small farmersAbstract: A study was conducted to assess the economic profitability of commercial potato (mairz season)
cultivation among farmers of KusaDevi, Kavre. Potato forms one of the major agriculture
enterprises with summer production as major share and other being autumn season. Farmers were
selected randomly and were provided with daily farm record format jointly developed by NPDP
and MRSMP. Data were filled by farmers and verified by regular supervision from NPDP
throughout the crop season for use of inputs and yield whereas information regarding farming,
command area, marketing and other relevant information were obtained by focused group
discussion. Quantitative data were analyzed using MS Excel and SPSS 16. The total investment per
ropany (500m1
) was found approximately 9530 NRs of which household resources accounted 69%
share and remaining being direct cash investment. The blc ratio was approximately 1.32 and 1.77
and ROI was found 0.32 and 0. 77 at the farm-gate price (FGP) at harvesting time and most
common selling price respectively. Farmers' product price varied greatly with their retention
capacity, storage availability and dealing with traders at local and distant markets such as
Kalimati and other wholesale markets of Kathmandu valley. Seed, fertilizer and labor ranked first,
second and third respectively by share of investment in potato cultivation. Cost of cultivation
particularly seed potato, fertilizer and labor cost in one hand; and the yield and FGP of fresh
potato as well as its demand pressure from market on other hand were the major factors
determining the net economic return to the farmers.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1652 Economic Analysis of Commercial Potato Cultivation in Kusadevi, Kavre [printed text] / Govinda P.

Title : Weed management study in rainy season maize in Bheri river basin area of Surkhet Material Type: printed text Authors: Tara bahadur Ghimire ; Bhanu Pokhrel, Author ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal, Author ; Nain Singh Chhetri, Author ; Gam Bahadur Pun, Author ; Anil Pokhrel, Author Pagination: 210-213 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize (Zea maize) ; net return weed flora control yield Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L) is the predominant crop in mid-western hills of Nepal. Productivity of
maize is low due to several biotic, abiotic and socio-economic factors. Weed infestation is one
of the main reasons in lowering the maize yield in this region. To find out the suitable weed
contro l measures in hill of mid-western region, a field experiment was conducted in two
consecutive years of 20 11 and 2012 at Agriculture Research Station, Dasharathpur, Surkhet.
Eleven treatment combinations consisting of Atrazine 50 WP @ 2.5 kg/ha (Pre-emergence),
Pendimethaline 30 EC @ 3.3 L/ha (Pre-emergence) and Glyphosate 41 SL 5 L!ha (Postemergence)
with or without hoeing; 2,4-D (80%) @ 2 kg!ha (Post-emergence) fo llowed by
hoeing; sunhemp mix cro pping (30 kg/ha) and incorporation at 30 days after sowing; hand
weed ing without hoeing; farmers practices (hand weedin g and hoeing) and no weeding
(control) were evaluated in RCBD with three replications in maize-wheat system under
bariland cond itions. Motha (Cyperus sp.), Banso (Axonopus compressus (Swartz)), Bokejhar
(Gnaph aliwn purpureum L), ChipleJhar (Pouzolzia zeylanica L.) and Kane jhar (Commelina
benghalensis L.) were the predominant weed floras in maize field in bariland cond ition of
Bheri river basin area of Surkhet. Atrazine 50 WP @ 2.5 kg/ha (pre -emergence) appli cation
and no hoeing treatment resulted the maximum mean grain yield (4205 kg/ha) of maize with
highest net return (Rs.5 1600/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.59). Simi lar ly, sunJ1emp mix
cropping and incorporation after 30 days after sowing resulted least weed population up to 60
days after sowing.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=898 Weed management study in rainy season maize in Bheri river basin area of Surkhet [printed text] / Tara bahadur Ghimire ; Bhanu Pokhrel, Author ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal, Author ; Nain Singh Chhetri, Author ; Gam Bahadur Pun, Author ; Anil Pokhrel, Author . - [s.d.] . - 210-213 p.

Title : Enhancing the livelihood of farmers through intercropping in maize Material Type: printed text Authors: K.P Dhital, Editor ; Kunwar, C.B. ; B Bhandari, Author Pagination: 277-281 p. Keywords: Planting ratio ; land equivalent monetary return and plant populaiton Abstract: Intercropping is an important management approach to increase crop yield per unit area and
time An e>..'Periment was laid out in randomized complete block design (R.CBD) with three
replications consisting of 21 treatments during winter season of 2066/67 and six treatments
of different row and plant population during winter season of2067/68. The objective of the
study nwas to assess more profitable cropping patterns under maize based cropping system.
Maize and kidney bean inter cropping was grown with different row and spacing .. The crop
ratio of 1 :2 of maize: kidney bean produced the highest yield 2217 and 1161 kg ha" 1
• The
grain yield of kidney bean was influenced by plant population. The wider row distance and
double plant per hill ratio 1 :3 (row distance I SO em) and intra space SO em gave high yield
of 1116 kg ha"1 with highest land equivalent ratio (LER) 1.130.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=954 Enhancing the livelihood of farmers through intercropping in maize [printed text] / K.P Dhital, Editor ; Kunwar, C.B. ; B Bhandari, Author . - [s.d.] . - 277-281 p.
