Title : Analysis and effect of rainfall distribution for planning and management of rice and wheat cultivation under Bhairahawa Rupendehi condition Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, S.K., Editor ; Shrestha, K.B., Author ; G.B Manandhar, Author ; Sharma, P.S, Author ; S Tandukar, Author Publication Date: 2010 Pagination: 339-344 p. Abstract: Rainfall is the major dominating factor for the success or failure of agricultural crops as more than 65% of the total cultivable land in
Nepal is rainfed. In this pape, rainfall data (1977-2000) from National Wheat Research Program located at Bhairahawa, Rupandehi
is analyzed and recommendation is made for efficient utilization for planning and management of rice and wheat cultivation. The
average annual rainfall was found to be 1775 tnm. The monthly maximum average rainfall 584 mm was observed in the month of
July and the minimum average rainfall 5.69mm was found in November. The highest annual rainfall2351mm was marked in 1984
and lowest rainfall1302 mm in 1992. One day maximum rainfall298 mm was noted on 14th July in 1996. The deviation of the
average annual mean rainfall from the long term average rainfall was highest 32.38% in 1984 and it was lowest 1.02% in 1982. Out
of 24 years, 18 years were normal, 4 years were wet and numbers of dry years were 2. Average rainfall occurred in rice season was
89.69% of the total average rainfall (TAVR) where as wheat season bad only 4.3% of TAVR. The study clearly indicates the
importance of rainwater harvesting and its utilization for supplementary irrigation of rice I!Jld wheat crop in rainfed areas.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1032 Analysis and effect of rainfall distribution for planning and management of rice and wheat cultivation under Bhairahawa Rupendehi condition [printed text] / Adhikary, S.K., Editor ; Shrestha, K.B., Author ; G.B Manandhar, Author ; Sharma, P.S, Author ; S Tandukar, Author . - 2010 . - 339-344 p.

Title : Improved tubular corn sheller: Appropriate drudgery reducing agricultural equipment for maize growers Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, K.B., Author ; Adhikary, S.K., Author ; Rabi G. Rasaily, Author ; Shrestha, G.L., Author Pagination: 15-18 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Corn sheller, drudgery reduction, rural comnmunity, equipment Abstract: Shelling corn or maize is, in general, the responsibility of the farming woman, whether child, youth or aged. The corn shelling operation is usually carried out manually and hence, a tedious job. It consumes a lot of time, labor and energy of the women force in agriculture. Relieving these agricultural women workers from such drudgery is a major challenge for researchers and development workers in the country. Though some farmers in the country use manual corn sheller developed by Agricultural Tools Factory (ATF) at Birgunj or Development Consulting Services (DCS) at Butwal to some extent, but access to such modern corn-shelling device is beyond the imagination for the majority of the women from the rural sector. Realizing the drudgery of the rural farming community, scientists at Agricultural Engineering Division (AED) under NARC have developed different prototypes of improved tubular corn sheller including manual as well as pedal operated equipment. Various prototypes of both manual and pedal operated corn shellers were designed, fabricated and tested by the researchers at the AED. These AED prototypes of the manual corn shellers are the improved version of the lnternational Rice Research Institute (IRRI) design, while the design or the pedal corn sheller is of the AED itself During performance testing of the manual corn sheller, the shelling capacity and the efficiency were found to be 13.8 kg/h (146 cobs/hr) and 94.6% respectively at 9.2% moisture content of maize kernels. Similarly, in case or pedal operated tubular corn sheller, the shelling capacity of 27.9 kp/hr (318 cobs/hr) and the shelling efficiency of 93.1% were obtained at maize kernel moisture content of 12.7%. The shelling capacity of pedal corn sheller was 102% more than that of manual corn sheller.

Title : Production, feeding value and toxic elements of Nimaro (Ficus roxburghii) in the hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Upreti, C.R., Author ; Shrestha, K.B., Author Pagination: 326-330 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: feeding value, minerals, polyphenolic, production, toxic elements. Abstract: Production level, feeding value, polyphenolics and toxic elements of Nimaro were monitored and reviewed during 2006 to 2007. Seasonal effect on nutrient content was also studied. Old leaves shed in December to January and new leaves appeared in Feb to March. One vigorous tree yielded 45 ± 5.0 - 73.33 ± 15.28 kg fresh leaves every year. Leaves were bigger in size (24.58 ± 5.79 x 17.08 ± 5.79) and were even used as plate or tray during festival. Average 15.67 ± 2.08 to 19.33 ± 3.06 kg firewood was produced per loping per tree…………….

Title : Rainwater harvesting farm reservoir for supplementary irrigation of rice and wheat crop Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, S.K., Editor ; Shrestha, K.B., Author ; G.B Manandhar, Author ; Sharma, P.S, Author ; Sah, S.N., Author ; S.N Jha, Author Publication Date: 2010 Pagination: 329-334 p. Abstract: A farm reservoir having size 27.00 meter 18.00 meter with maximum depth limited to 2 meter at Regional Agricultural
Research Station, Khajura, Banke, Nepalgunj was dug during 2001 . Prior to its construction, the site was identified from a
team of experts including NARC scientists, Indian consultant and expatriate from Bangladesh. The maximum capacity of
pond to collect rainwater is limited to 9, 72, 000 liters. The weekly observations were taken for retained rainwater depth from
June 9, 2004 to May 21, 2006.
It was recorded that maximum retained water depths were 138 em during July and 195 em during September in 2004 and 2005
respectively. Even during dry periods in April, the reservoir was not completely dry and depth of retained water was 15 em.
The rainwater was collected through the conveyance arrangement from the catchment area of about 7.5 ha. The texture of soil
in the reservoir was sandy silt containing 65. 7% sand, silt 24.03% and clay 10.23%. The on farm reservoir was initially
designed to provide supplementary irrigation especially for the wheat crop. Other crops such as rice and vegetables crops
could also be irrigated. From this study, it can be concluded that the site is very suitable and has very good potential for
rainwater harvesting as no other sealing materials were used in th~ reservoir to conserve water. It is proposed that further
studies should be carried out by replicating the reservoirs in farmer's field having similar soil strata, which don't need any
sealing materials for conserving watc;r.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1030 Rainwater harvesting farm reservoir for supplementary irrigation of rice and wheat crop [printed text] / Adhikary, S.K., Editor ; Shrestha, K.B., Author ; G.B Manandhar, Author ; Sharma, P.S, Author ; Sah, S.N., Author ; S.N Jha, Author . - 2010 . - 329-334 p.
