Title : Crop suitability for rice-wheat systems in bhaktapur district by using GIS Material Type: printed text Authors: Sah, Kamal Pagination: 322-326 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: GIS survey ; marginally suitable information Abstract: This study was conducted in the year 2000, with the objective to find out the suitable area for
rice and wheat crops in Bhaktapur district on the basis of different land qualities (soil
texture, depth. pH, drainage, slope, altitude) required to these crops in GIS environment. The
rice-wheat system is the major cropping pattern in the Indo-Gangetic plains of South East
Asia. The soil survey was also conducted to generate the soil information from the analyzed
soil samples. The result showed that the 31.3% rice area and 46.8% wheat area were
marginally suitable. There is no highly suitable area was found for rice and wheat crops due
to acidic pH constraints of soil in the district. The result of this study is very useful for the
planning of agriculture development in the district.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1118 Crop suitability for rice-wheat systems in bhaktapur district by using GIS [printed text] / Sah, Kamal . - [s.d.] . - 322-326 p.

Title : Use of Insecticides on Vegetable Crops in Dhading District Material Type: printed text Authors: Giri, Y.P., Author ; B. P. Mainali, Author ; S. Aryal, Author ; Paneru, R.B., Author ; Bista, S., Author ; Maharjan, R, Author Pagination: 431-438 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: insect pests,, mid-hills, pesticides, vegetable farming, survey Abstract: Vegetable farming has become a profitable business along the roadside of mid-hills of Nepal.
Dhusatar VDC of Dhadhing is one of the vegetable farming pockets located in mid-hill just
82 km away from the capital (Kathmandu). A study was carried out in Dhusatar pocket
during 1999 through focus group discussion and household survey methods in order to
collect the information related with status of pesticide use for the insect pest managemeflt
over existing vegetable growing practices and land use pattern. Majority of cultivated land
was occupied by vegetable fam1ing, especially eggplant and cabbage during summer and
winter season respectively. These vegetables were grown in all types of land (Khet, Bari and
Pakho). Eggplant-cabbage cropping pattern was dominant one. The insect pests such as,
eggplant shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee), fruit fly (Dacus cucurbitae)
and hoppers (Homopteran) were major problems to crops causing about I 1 to 50% losses in
crop yield through combining pest complex illteraction. Similarly, cabbage butteifly (Pieris
brassicae Doubleday), tobacco caterpillar {Spodoptera litura Fab.), aphids {Aphis sp.),
diamond back moth (Plutella xylostella L). cut worms (Agrotis sp.) and tomato fruit borer
(Helicoverpa armigera Hubner) were major problems in winter season inflicting up to 30%
losses. The use .of chemical insecticides· was oi1ly the means adopted by farmers for· insect
pest management. The chemical pesticide belonging to Syllthetic pyrethroid and
Organophosphate groups were commonly used by the farmers with an increased dose and
frequency over the years. Moreover, the recommended dose, application method and safety
measures for the application of pesticides were also not properly followed by the famlers.
The survey has clearly indicated that majority of famlers were not acquainted with
Integrated Pest Managemeflt approaches and they were willing to adopt methods other thar~
the use of chemical pesticides, if such altemative methods are provided by the line agencies
for restriction ofpesticidesLink for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=683 Use of Insecticides on Vegetable Crops in Dhading District [printed text] / Giri, Y.P., Author ; B. P.
