City Waste Compost and Sustainability of Rice-Wheat Cropping System / Krishna B. Karki in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 7 (2006)
[article]
Title : City Waste Compost and Sustainability of Rice-Wheat Cropping System Material Type: printed text Authors: Krishna B. Karki, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 49-53 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Organic manure, plant nutrients, sustainability Abstract: An experiment was conducted on Rhodic Ustochrept soil in Central Hill of Nepal growing
wheat-mungbean-rice in rotation. Grain yields as affected by 28 t ha-1 a of town compost were
compared with the same amount of farmyard manure and N:P:K (120:60:40). NPK produced
significantly higher wheat grain (3897 t ha-1). Other yield results were at par with one another.
NPK produced lowest mungbean yield. After growing second crop fertility seems to be
exhausted thus rice yield indicated no notable residual fertilising effect. FYM and town compost
left noteworthy amounts of P, Ca, Mg and K even after rice harvest.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=46

Title : Estimation of plant nutrients content in biogas slurry and losses during handling Material Type: printed text Authors: Karki K.B, Author Pagination: 330-334p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Biogas, environment, slurry, sustainability Abstract: Biogas plants in Nepal have been installed with the objectives of substituting firewood and dung cakes that are used as kitchen fuel, improving health of rural women by reducing obnoxious smoke in the kitchen and increasing crop production by the use of biogas slurry. With the establishment of over 100,000 biogas plants in the rural areas of Nepal there has been substantial improvement in the reduction of forest clearance and in women health. Biogas slurry is an excellent organic fertilizer, if properly used note worthy reduction in the importation of expensive mineral fertilizer and sustainable crop production could be achieved. Therefore, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives should pay proper attention in the use of biogas slurry that helps to sustain crop production.

Title : Sustaining Wheat Productivity and Maintaining Soil Fertility in Maize- Wheat System Material Type: printed text Authors: Tripathi, B.P., Author ; Tuladhar, J.K., Author Publication Date: 2000 Article on page: 31-36 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Key words: Maize-wheat system, organic materials, soil fertility, sustainability Abstract: Field experiments on maize-wheat system were carried out in rainfed upland (bari) at Agricultural
Research Station, Lumle for three years (1994/95-1996/97) to determine the effect of different
quality organic materials on maize and wheat yields and soil properties. Wheat grain yield
significantly differed over years and the highest mean grain yield (1.98 t ha-1) was recorded in the
treatment of mixture of low and high quality organic materials (maize + leaf litter, farmyard
manure). Maize and wheat grain as well as straw yield significantly differed over years. In all the
three years, the mixture of low and high quality organic materials produced the highest grain yield
of maize plus wheat ranging from 6.72 to 2.20 t ha-1 with mean yield of 4.43 t ha-1. Mean N uptake
by wheat grain and straw ranged from 32.2 to 40.4 kg ha-1 and 13.8 to 16.0 kg ha-1, respectively in
different treatments. Similarly, mean P uptake by wheat grain was the highest (25.4 kg ha-1) in the
mixture treatment while mean P uptake by wheat straw was the highest (26.5 kg ha-1) in low
quality organic materials. Mean soil pH after wheat harvest was the lowest (5.1) in the low quality
organic material. Organic carbon and available P ranged from 3.4 to 3.7% and from 329 to 370
ppm, respectively in different treatments while total N and exchangeable K increased to 0.31%
and 0.2 me/100g, respectively with the application of low quality organic material. The three years
result showed that semi-decomposed organic materials were more efficient in improving and
stabilizing production of wheat and maize yields in maize-wheat system as well as in maintaining
N fertility than high quality organic materials.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=90
