Title : Effect of Different Mulching Materials on Potato in Western Hill of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Ek M. Bhattarai, Author ; Buddi B. Pant, Author ; Yam R. Pandey, Author Pagination: 122-126 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cost benefit, mulching materials, organic matter, potato Abstract: Experiment on different mulching materials was conducted in Phalebas, Mudikuwa,
Devisthan and Khanigaun VDCs of Parbat district during 2006/07-2007/08 to select the
most profitable mulching practice and its effect on potato tuber yield and soil properties.
The plot size for each treatment was 9 rrl with a spacing of 25X60 em. Grass,
newspaper, black and white polythene sheet were used as mulching materials.
Economic analysis for each treatment was carried out to find out the most profitable
and cost effective mulching materials. Among the tested mulching materials, mulching
with grass gave the highest potato tuber yield (31340 kglha). Lowest potato tuber yield
(17260kg/ha) was found in farmers' practice (no mulching). It was observed that
existence of moisture content in the field was better and weed problem was less in all
treatments of mulching. Effect of different mulching practices on potato was found
highly significant on tuber yield. Mulching with newspaper, black and white polythene
sheet was found at par on yield of potato in both years. Non-significant change in soil
chemical properties was found among the treatments while organic matter content in
soil was slightly increased over the time in grass mulching. Experiment revealed that
grass mulching could be the most profitable, sustainable, locally and easily available
way of mulching for potato production in western hills.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=231 Effect of Different Mulching Materials on Potato in Western Hill of Nepal [printed text] / Ek M. Bhattarai, Author ; Buddi B. Pant, Author ; Yam R. Pandey, Author . - [s.d.] . - 122-126 p.
