Title : Determination of optimum dose of organic and inorganic manure for maximum produciton of bean(Phaseolous vulgaris(at Jumla) Material Type: printed text Authors: L.L Shrestha, Editor ; RB Bhujel, Editor ; CB Rana, Editor ; P.M Mahat, Editor Pagination: 6-8 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Bean ; Indigenous Jumla Pooled analysis Significant Abstract: Bean is an indigenous and one of the important crops of Jumla and Karnali region as a
whole. Fanners in Jumla grow bean mostly in uplands and other marginal lands. However,
the area of bean has been extending towards low land after wheat cultivation. Fanners
rarely use manures and fertilizers in bean crop. Therefore, in order to determine the
optimum level of nitrogen, phosphorus, potash & farm yard manure (FYM) to obtain
maximum production of bean; experiment during 067/068 and 068/069 was carried out at
Agriculture Research Station (ARS), Vijayanagar, Jumla. Experiments were laid out in
randomized complete block design in three replications with six treatments (N: P: K kglha
+ FYM tonlha) Tl= 100:60:40+6mt., T2 =120:65:45+6mt. T3= 130:70:50+6mt. T4=
140:75:55+6mt. T5= 30mt.FYM, and T6=0:0:0:+0 (Control). During 067/068, Plant
height, number of pods/plant and yield were found significant (p<O.Ol) while other
parameters like 50% flowering days, 90% maturity days, pod length, no. of grains/pod, no.
of plants/m2
, and 100 grain weight were found non-significant. Similarly, during
2068/2069, plant height and no. of pods/plant were found significant at p<O.O 1 and 0.05 per
cent level. All other parameters were observed as non-significant. During 067/68 the
highest mean grain yield of 1567.33kg/ha was obtained from TS (30mt.FYM/ha)) followed
by T4 (140:75:55 kg N: P: K/ha+6mt FYM/ha) recording an average yield of 1362.67 kglha
and T2 (120:65:45 kg N:P:K kg/ha + 6mt FYM/ha) and the lowest yield 539.33kg/ha was
obtained from control treatment. Similarly, during 068/069 the highest mean grain yield of
1862.33kg/ha was obtained from T4 (140:75:55 N: P: K kglha+6mt.FYM/ha) followed by
T2 (120:65:45 N:P:K kglha+6mt. FYM/ha) which recorded an average yield of
1458.67kglha. The lowest yield of 80 I .OOkglha was produced in control treatment. The two
years pooled analysis revealed the highest mean grain yield of 1612.50kg/ha from T4
(140:75 :55 N: P: K kg/ha+6mt. FYM/ha) followed by the mean grain yield of 1458.83kg/ha
in T5 (30mt.FYM/ha.) treatment. Similarly, the effect of year was observed significant
(p<O.OS) while effect oftreatments in two years and interaction between year and treatment
was found non-significant. Since it is only two years data, the trial needs to be pursued year
by year for better result.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=925 Determination of optimum dose of organic and inorganic manure for maximum produciton of bean(Phaseolous vulgaris(at Jumla) [printed text] / L.L Shrestha, Editor ; RB Bhujel, Editor ; CB Rana, Editor ; P.M Mahat, Editor . - [s.d.] . - 6-8 p.

Title : Development and identification of cold tolerant rice genotypes for high hill areas of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Upreti, H.K., Editor ; Khatiwada, S.P. ; J.B Adhikari, Author ; RB Bhujel, Author ; P Mahat, Author Pagination: 115-119 p. Keywords: Cold tolerant ; cold injury rice genotypes high hills livelihood Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food crop of Nepal occupying area of about 1.5 million
hectare from 60 meter in terai to 3050 meter above sea level in high hill Jumla with the
productivity of 3.13 tlha. About 4.46% of the total rice land falls within high hill where
cold injury due to low air temperature is the major constraint in the rice production. An
attempt was made to develop cold tolerant and high yielding rive genotypes for this region
by conducting on station and on farm rice varietal research. On station research were
conducted at ARS Jumla and Khumaltar late planting condition involving 10-12 rice
genotypes during 2009-2012 in randomized complete block design (RCBD). Four
promising lines were evaluated in the farmer's field as on farm trial in OR sites of ARS
Jumla, and ARS Pakhribas during 2009-2012. These lines were compared with standard
check variety Chandannath-3. Among them NR10479-B-33-2-1-1 and NR10482-B-10-3-2-
2 were found promising and preferred by farmers due to its stable high yield over
Chandannath-3 in tested locations. Release and wider dissemination of these genotypes will
help to uplift the livelihood of high hill farmers' and help to reduce the problem of food
security in high hill areas.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=938 Development and identification of cold tolerant rice genotypes for high hill areas of Nepal [printed text] / Upreti, H.K., Editor ; Khatiwada, S.P. ; J.B Adhikari, Author ; RB Bhujel, Author ; P Mahat, Author . - [s.d.] . - 115-119 p.

Title : Fish Production System In Sunsari And Morang District Material Type: printed text Authors: RB Bhujel, Author ; KP Gautam, Author ; AB Thapa, Author Pagination: 36-44 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A survey on fish production system in Sunsari and Morang Districts was carried out during 2060/2061.
Farmers were interviewed through a semi-structured questionnaire which was modified after pre-testing.
Among the sample farmers, the average family size was 6.9 with an average operational holding of2.7 ha
and 188.24 per cent cropping intensity. Among them 73 per cent had a single pond and 93 per cent had
permanent one with average water surface area of 0.28 and 0.13 ha, respectively. Average number of fries
and fingerlings supplied was 17950 and 3681/ha respectively. Average fish production was calculated as
1282.40 kg/ha. The total variable cost incurred in fish production was found to be Rs. 281 06.14/ha giving a
gross return of Rs. 78111.75/ha. Thus the net profit was obtained as Rs. 50005.61/ha with a benefit cost
ratio of2.78. Fish seed shared maximum cost of35 per cent followed by pond maintenance of27 per cent of
the sample farmers. Only II per cent of the cost was shared by ration. If quality fish seeds are made
available at time, train the farmers to control diseases and upgrade technical know-how, then 69 per cent of
the problems seemed to be solved in fish farming. Farmers seemed taking fish as additional production
irrespective of their investment and did not pay more attention to harvest more yield. There is a scope of
increasing fish yield simply by providing technical services and make them aware of shortcomings in pond
culture. Although the production is comparatively lower than national average, the scope of increasing
production is very high through applying improved technology in pond culture. It is however, profitable to
farmers and the benefit cost ratio can still be increased by applying inputs efficiently.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=273 Fish Production System In Sunsari And Morang District [printed text] / RB Bhujel, Author ; KP Gautam, Author ; AB Thapa, Author . - [s.d.] . - 36-44 p.

Title : Livelihood Assessment Of Capture Fishers Of Koshi River In Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: RB Bhujel, Author ; AB Thapa, Author ; KP Gautam, Author Pagination: 71-78 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Fish capturing has been found as a basis of livelihoods of people whose main occupation is fishing and
capture fishes to meet their daily needs. People capture fishes generally in public sources like river, lakes
and ponds. Koshi River is one of the most important river systems in Nepal and many capture fishers
depend on it. A study in 2062/063 was carried out with the capture fishers of Koshi River from
Hanumannagar, Koshi Barrage to Chatara side. Most of the capture fishers were Mallah/Bin, Mohamdan,
Manda!, Mushar, Majhi, Khatwe, Chamar, Bantar, Mahato, Majhi and Magar ethnic groups. Among 39
sample-capture-fishers the average family size was 7.56 with 3.97 male and 3.59 female members. Average
school year of male was 7 with 1.48 members and that of female was 1. 79 school years with 0.53 female
?'lemb.ers literate in a family. Average operational land holding was 0.21 ha with 60.19 per cent cropping
mtensity and 28 per cent did not have any holding. None of them had fish pond. Capture fishery contributed
to 64 per cent of their total income and average income was found to be Rs. 34259.62/year. On an average
they captured 3.96 kg of fish per day after 4.82 hours fishing and consumed 7.80 kg of fish per month. They
w~re found suffered from paying certain unofficial tips to local authority. None of them were acquainted
With "~quatic Act, 2055" and 61 per cent insisted in community fish farming. They had realized the
decreasmg trend of high value local species and expect the prohibition on use of gill net especially with
small mesh size.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=279 Livelihood Assessment Of Capture Fishers Of Koshi River In Nepal [printed text] / RB Bhujel, Author ; AB Thapa, Author ; KP Gautam, Author . - [s.d.] . - 71-78 p.
