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 : Effect of lime application on major plant nutrient dynamism in acidic soils Material Type: printed text Authors: K.B. Thapa, Author ; Joshi, B.D., Author ; Pandey, S., Author ; KC, R.B., Author ; D.D Paudel, Author Pagination: 218-223 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Acidic soil in cultivating farmland is considered to be a major problem in Nepal. A four-year experiment was conducted in acidic soil at Malepatan, Pokhara to identify the ways to solve the problem since 2007. Four doses of lime (0, 2, 4 and 6 t ha-1), farmyard manure and with or without application of recommended dose of fertilizers were used in the experiment. Altogether, nine treatments were included in randomized complete block design with three replications. Cauliflower (Kathmandu Local) and Cowpea (Malepatan-1) were grown in the plots…………………………

Title : Effects of zinc application on soil zinc concentration and rice productivity Material Type: printed text Authors: Pandey, S., Author ; I.B Oli, Author ; K.B. Thapa, Author Pagination: 55-57 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A soil survey was conducted to know the zinc status of soil in Tanahun district in the year 2067, where the farmers reported the low yield of rice. Then a field experiment in the zinc deficient soil of district was conducted during the year 2068 to study the role of zinc application on the yield of rice and improving the zinc content of the soil. The experiment was laid in RCBD with five treatments. The treatments were control, farmer method, foliar spray, soil application and soil cum foliar application of the zinc. The grain yield of the rice was significantly higher in the treated plots than in the control and the farmer methods. Among the treated plots the highest yield was recorded in the soil cum foliar application. The yield was higher in the foliar application than in the soil application of zinc. The zinc concentration in the soil was not significantly different after experiment but it was highest in the soil application and lower in the foliar application. The soil cum foliar application has lower concentration of soil zinc than the soil application.

Title : Efficacy of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin against the Potato Tuber Moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) in Consumable Potato, under Laboratory Conditions Material Type: printed text Authors: Pandey, S., Author ; M. Sporleder, Author ; Y. D. Gharti Chhetry, Author ; Giri, Y.P., Author ; Jurgen Kroschel, Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 55-62 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: The potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera:
Gelechiidae) is major pest of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in tropical and
subtropical regions of the world causing serious economic damage especially in
non-refrigerated potato storerooms. Chemical pesticide use for post-harvest pest
management in farmers’ rustic storerooms causes health risks to farmers and
consumers, triggered a search for safer pest management alternatives, such as
use of entomopathogens. Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin culture
originally isolated from white grub larvae native from Nepal was grown on
artificial media and its biological activity assessed against the potato tuber moth
in the laboratory, using potato tuber surface contamination bioassay. A total of
5 bioassays were conducted. In four bioassays fresh fungus stock suspensions
were tested while in one bioassay the fungus stock suspension of the first
bioassay was reused after 8-month storage period at ambient temperature. All
probit lines revealed a common slope of 0.57. The first stock suspension revealed
an LC50-value of 6.9×106 conidia/ml while after 8-month storage a significant
activity loss of about 90% (7.2 ×107 conidia/ml) was observed. The other three
bioassays revealed LC50-values of mean 4.2×105 (2.9 to 6.1×105) conidia/ml
without significant differences in their potencies. According to the probit lines
(3-5) > 7.5x10^7 conidia/ml would be required to kill >90% PTM. Hence it can
be concluded that the M. anisopliae strain showed high biological activity
against PTM larvae and has potential as bio-control agent for controlling the
pest; however, activity can be significantly reduced if stored inappropriately or
for longer periods.
