Title : Adoption of improved large ruminant breeds in Lumle agricultural research centre's extension command area: a logistic regression analysis. Material Type: printed text Authors: Gurung, H.B., Author ; Rasali, D.P., Author ; Vaidya, A.K., Author ; Rana R.B., Author Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 66-72 p. Keywords: Animal products; Research; Fisheries; Pastures; Livestock Abstract: The study is a synthesis of findings of results of three different studies viz. large ruminant crossbreedingprogramme assessment study (1993), research impact study (1994), and census survey of Lumle AgriculturalResearch Centre's Extension Command Area {I991). The study has primarily attempted to identify the factorsaffecting adoption of improved cattle and buffaloes using a logistic regression analysis (stepwise forwardmethod). Six variables viz household food balance, breeding bull distribution programme. number of largeruminants (LS unit), interaction between number of large ruminants and livestock system, feed source and sexof household head significantly affected adoption of improved breed of buffalo. Similarly, in cattle adoptionof improved breed was affected by agro-ecological zone, food balance, feed source, livestock feed balance,breeding bull distribution programme, and interaction between number of large ruminants and feed balance.Of these variables, correlation of the adoption of improved breed varied with the category of feed source. However, food balance, number of large ruminants, and interaction between number of large ruminants and feed balance was positively correlated. whilst the rest of the variables were negatively correlated with improved breed adoption. Striking results qf the study are that wealthier class of farmers, and farmhouseholds with Kudo/mixed feed source have adopted improved breed of both species. Negative correlationof breeding bull distribution programme with adoption of improved animals by farm households residing inprogramme villages is indicative of diffusion q( the technology to villages without breeding bull distributionprogramme, attributing to the success of the programme.

Title : Adoption of rice-based technologies in marginal uplands in siwalik Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, H.K., Author ; Gurung, H.B., Author ; Gauchan, D., Author ; Pandey, S., Author ; RB Yadav, Author ; ,Shakya, P.R., Author Pagination: 9-13 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Adoption of improved rice-based technologies was assessed in the marginal uplands of Bhabsi and Patu villages situated in Siwalik range of Mahottari after two years of technology intervention by the collaborative project of IRRI with NARC for household food security and environmental sustainability. Among the new varieties, Radha-32 was adopted by 75 percent of farm households mainly because of high yielding, drought tolerance, disease resistance, fair eating quality and medium milling recovery. Hardinath-1 became also popular variety adopted by 60 percent of farm households due to high yielding and short duration maturity and fit in low land conditions for normal as well as early rice. Adoption of low cost technologies like seedling broadcasting and integrated weed control measure was increasing. The new rice varieties replaced the local varieties which were low yielder and susceptible to blast disease. Farmers had adopted cropping patterns like rice-chickpea and rice-lentil and inter cropping of rice with peanut, cowpea or maize as new technologies. The average rice yield was increased by 319 kg/ha in upland condition and 221 kg/ha in lowland condition after two years of technology intervention by the project.

Title : Collaborative rice research and development thrusts between irri and Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Tripathi, B.P., Editor ; Gurung, H.B., Author ; Pandey, Sushil, Author ; Ladha, J.K., Author ; A Kumar, Author ; Regmi, A.P., Author ; Sherchan, D.P., Author ; AK Gautam, Author ; Akhtar, T., Author ; B.B Adhikari, Author ; K.K Dahal, Author ; H.K Panta, Author Publication Date: 2010 Pagination: 203-205 p. Abstract: The three major collaborative projects were initiated from 2005 in different Research Centres of Nepal Agricultural Research
Council (NARC) and in Lamjung site of Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences (IAAS), Chitwan. The overall objectives of
these projects are to increase the rice production and productivity in favorable lowlands and marginalized upland rice environments
of both plain and hills ofNepal. Baseline survey of all sites is discussed. Different Integrated Crop Management technologies in ricewheat
systems in both transplanted rice and upland rice evaluated. Farmers' field days' and trainings organized and different
Resource Conservation Technologies (RCTs) evaluated. Both lowland and upland rice varieties were tested in mother and baby
trials. Varieties suitable for both lowlands and upland rice were selected by conducting mother and baby trials as well as in Farmers'
Acceptance Test (FAT) !Minikits and Demonstrations. Farmers have saved seeds of some promising rice varieties s for planting in
the next season. Drought tolerant rice varieties received from IRRI were selected for rainfed lowland conditions of Nepal. For the
dissemination of rice technologies to different stakeholders, exposure trainings/workshops were organized for the scientists/technical
officers/technicians of NARC as well as Subject Matter Specialists (SMS)/Extension Officers of the districts/Training
Officers/Technicians of the Regional Training Centers and Regional seed, soil and plant protection technicians of different regions
of Nepal. Rice Fact Sheets prepared by the scientists were put in NARC website as Nepal Rice Knowledge Bank (NRKB) with the
help of IRRI. Rice technologies prepared by IRRl in the form of Rice Knowledge Bank (RKB) were disseminated by providing COs
to different NARC research stations, district agricultural development offices, regional directorate of agriculture and NGOs working
in rice research and development as well as to IAAS, Rampur for teaching pUiposes. With the establishment ofNepal-IRRI Office,
the technical capability of scientists and technical officers ofNARC has been further strengthened.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1017 Collaborative rice research and development thrusts between irri and Nepal [printed text] / Tripathi, B.P., Editor ; Gurung, H.B., Author ; Pandey, Sushil, Author ; Ladha, J.K., Author ; A Kumar, Author ; Regmi, A.P., Author ; Sherchan, D.P., Author ; AK Gautam, Author ; Akhtar, T., Author ; B.B Adhikari, Author ; K.K Dahal, Author ; H.K Panta, Author . - 2010 . - 203-205 p.
