| 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. |
