Title : Effect of enriched C02 on rice under open top chamber condition at Khumaltar Material Type: printed text Authors: Sherchan, K., Author ; Shrestha, S., Author ; Alok Sharma, Author Pagination: 60-66 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Enriched C02, open top chamber, rice yield Abstract: During panicle initiation and flowering singes, C02 enriched plot had the highest leaf area index (LAI) in the first year. Minimum temperature was slightly higher in C02 enriched plot C02 enriched plot had 15% and ambient plot had only 10% increase in grain yield as compare to the field. The C02 enriched plot had almost higher straw yield than others. It was about 30 to 37% higher than field plot. Number of tillers per square meter was highest in C02enriched plot followed by ambient and field plot. Plant height and panicle length were both higher in C02 enriched plot. C02 enriched plot had lesser N, P and K content in grain, straw and root. However, organic carbon (OC) content in root was more than 100% as compare to the field plot. C:N ratio were also higher except in the grain. Higher grain yield in C02 enriched plot was due to higher number of tillers per square meter, seeds per panicle and panicle length.

Title : Study of Effective Micro-Organisms (Em) and Other Nutrients on Tomato and Potato Under Field Condition at Khumaltar Material Type: printed text Authors: Sherchan, K., Author ; G. Malia, Author ; A. Sharma, Author Pagination: 386-390 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: effective microorganisms, nutrients, potato, tomato, Abstract: The use of Effective Microorganisms (EM) and other nutrient sources were studied in tomato
and potato under field condition at Khumaltar. The objective of this study was to assess the
effectiveness of EM and other nutriellt sources including chemical fertilizer on tomato and
potato. The treatmelll combinations were control, N: P: K, EM alone, EM + N: P: K, EM +
Half N: P: K, Compost, EM + Compost and Bokashi. The results indicated that the EM alone
does not seem to improve the crop yield. However, EM together with organic sources has the
highest effect to improve the potato and tomato yields. Highest tomato yield was obtained
from treatment with Compost with EM to an increment of 172% over the control. The
Colllrol gave the lowest yield. Similarly in potato, EM with compost gave 134% advantage
over the colltrol. Highest potato tuber yield was obtained by the treatmellt of EM with ~
NPK and~ Compost {17,153 Kg/ha) in the year 200012001 and by EM with ~ NPK and~
Compost (18,250 kglha) during 200112002. While comparing each treatment with and
without EM, Half NPK + Compost and Compost treatmellts showed positive response to
increase tuber yield. The study suggests that the EM clearly helps to decompose compost
bases faster than the traditional sources and makes nutrients available when sprayed or
incorporated illfo the soil. The beneficial effect of EM on improving yield is visible if it is
supplemented with other organic sources.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=581 Study of Effective Micro-Organisms (Em) and Other Nutrients on Tomato and Potato Under Field Condition at Khumaltar [printed text] / Sherchan, K., Author ; G.
