Economics of Foundation Seed Production of Vegetable Crops at Agriculture Research Station Pahhribas / P. K. Maharjan ; T. R. Chapagain ; P. L. Karna ; D. Sah    

Public ISBD in Fourth national workshop on horticulture , March 2-4, 2004 ; Abstracts     Title : Economics of Foundation Seed Production of Vegetable Crops at Agriculture Research Station Pahhribas Material Type: printed text Authors: P. K. Maharjan, Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. L. Karna, Author ; D. Sah, Author Pagination: 288-290 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: economic  viability,  foundation  seed,  1:1  ratio,  supernormal  profit Abstract: A study was carried out to access the economic viability of foundation seed production of vegetable crops at agricultural research station. The study was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Pakhribas Dhankuta including four major vegetable crops namely: radish (40 days and Mino Early), pea (Sikkim local and J/ 1050), broad leaf mustard (Tanklunm local and Marpha broad leaf) and French bean (Four season and Trisuli). The result of the study revealed that foundation seed can be produced in 1:1 ratio except in peas. It is concluded that in the proper management condition with 1:1 BIC ratio foundation seed production is possible.

On-Farm Performance evaluation of aerobic rice echnologies and its impact / G Sah    

Public ISBD in Summer crops research in Nepal: Proceedings of the 25th Summer Crops Workshop held at Kathmandu 21-23 June 2007 / Adhikari, N.P.     Title : On-Farm Performance evaluation of aerobic rice echnologies and its impact Material Type: printed text Authors: G Sah, Editor ; Bhurer, K.P., Author ; Upadhyay, I.P., Author ; N Ansari, Author ; D Chaudhary, Author ; P. L. Karna, Author ; Adhikari, S.K., Author ; O. Erenstein, Author ; S Justice, Author Publication Date: 2010 Pagination: 350-356 p. Abstract: The On-farm Performance Evaluations of Aerobic Rice Technologies were conducted at Triveni in Bara and Sibarwa in Parsa district during kharif seasons, 2003/04, 2004/05, and 2005/06. The experiments consisted of three treatments e.g. (T1)= Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) by Power Tiller Drill (PTD), (T2)=Direct Seeded Rice by Zero-till Drill (ZTD), and (T3)= Fanner's Practice (F.P.). Rice variety Hardinath-1 was drilled with PTD and ZTD@ 40 kglha on June 11, 2004, June 21-22, 2005, and May 30- June 3, 2006 on pre-ploughed but unpuddled fields. The treatments were nourished with 100:60:40::N:P20 5:K20 kglha. Pre-emergence herbicide, Pretilachlor was applied@ 1250 ml/ha. For Farmer's Practice (F.P.), 25- day old seedlings were transplanted on puddled soil. Treatment T1 produced the highest mean grain yield of 5287 kglha followed by T2 (4642 kglha) and T3 (4265 kg/ha). Similarly, the highest mean straw yield cf 6383 kglha was obse1ved with treatment T1• Likewise, treatment T1 was the most economical and showed the mean Net Retum of30263 Rs/ha followed by T2 (20282 Rs/ha). Farmer's Practice showed the least Net Return of 18863 Rslha. With Fanner's management, T2 produced the highest mean rice yield of 5872 kglha followed by T1 (5617 kg/ha). The mean lowest grain yield of5044 kglha was obtained by T3, while, the mean rice establishment costs ofT I> T2 and T3 were 3162,3928, and 6304 Rs/ha, respectively.

Situation of Large Cardamom Production and Marketing in Nepal / Shrestha, K.P. ; T. R. Chapagain ; P. L. Karna    

Public ISBD in Fourth national workshop on horticulture , March 2-4, 2004 ; Abstracts     Title : Situation of Large Cardamom Production and Marketing in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, K.P., Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. L. Karna, Author Pagination: 249-254 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: large  cardamom,  marketing,  production Abstract: A su111ey and an exploratory visit were carried out to idemify the existing situation of large cardamom producer, production and marketing opportunities in the co1mtl}' and aboard. The field su111ey was carried out at different cardamom growing areas of Tehrathum, Sanklunvashabha, Dhankuta and /lam districts. Pre-tested questionnaire was inte1viewed with 35 farmers in each site. The exploratory• visit was carried out at different places of /lam, Panchtlzar and Taplejwzg districts of Nepal while Da~jeeling and Sikkim in India. The collected raw data were analysed in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science). The survey revealed that the marginal fanners are growing cardamom and according to them the production is decreasing. The quality management aspect is very• poor and price information is lacking to the farmers. The market study identified that Birtamod is the main centre of the cardamom trading along with Dharan and Fikkal in eastern sector.
