Greening for Gains: an Experience of Off-Season Vegetable Farming in Flood-Prone-Riverbeds in the Eastern Terai of Nepal / N. Khanal ; D.P. Pandey ; Gupta, K.P.
Title : Greening for Gains: an Experience of Off-Season Vegetable Farming in Flood-Prone-Riverbeds in the Eastern Terai of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: N. Khanal, Author ; D.P. Pandey, Author ; Gupta, K.P., Author Pagination: 267-274 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: adaptive trials, blocks, comparative advantage, cucurbitaceous, profitability Abstract: Numerous rivers in the terai of Nepal flood vast area of lands every year. Between the periods
of two successive flooding seasons, the riverbeds mostly remain nude or sparsely covered
with uneconomical grasses. In the effort of providing the poor and landless people with some
agriculture-based livelihood options. FORWARD started some participatory adaptive trials
and demonstrations on various cucurbitaceous vegetables on the riverbeds in Morang district
since 2000 and gradually built on appropriate technological package over years. Now the
package of practices has been thoroughly standardized and promoted in several blocks
through group approach in Morang and Banke districts. Economic analysis has shown that
growing cucurbitaceous vegetables on the riverbeds with the standard package of practices is
highly remunerative. The profitability is attributed to the lower intensity of crop pests and
diseases and to the early season productiou of crops that fetch higher price. This paper
highlights the technical procedures, management strategies and comparative advafltages of
the vegetable famJing on the riverbeds.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=510 Greening for Gains: an Experience of Off-Season Vegetable Farming in Flood-Prone-Riverbeds in the Eastern Terai of Nepal [printed text] / N.

Title : Performance of cauliflower varieties under different agro-ecological domains of western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Pun, A.B., Author ; Pandey, Y.R., Author ; Yadav, Y.P., Author ; K.P Upadhaya, Author ; B Khatri, Author Pagination: 235-238 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cauliflower, curd yield, field varietal trials, Western hills Abstract: A total of eight cauliflower varieties, Snow Crown, Snow Dome, Snow King, Snow Ball-16, Kibo Giant (Holland), Kibo Giant (Nepal), Kathmandu Local and Madhuri were evaluated for consecutive three years in different agro ecological domains western hills of Nepal during 1998 to 2001. Snow Crown, Snow Dome, Snow King and Madhuri were F1 hybrids and the others four varieties were open pollinated. The experiments were conducted in four agro ecological research (AER) sites and eight-outreach research (OR) sites under the research command area (RCA) of RARS, Lumle. Snow Dome, Snow Crown, Snow King and Kibo Giant (Holland) were promising followed by Kathamandu Local and Madhuri. The hybrid variety Snow King was observed as outstanding for early and off-season production, whereas Snow Crown, as a superior variety in term or high curd yield (24.7 t/ha).
