Title : An Assessment of Rainy Season Vegetable Crops Cultivation in Koshi Hills Material Type: printed text Authors: T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author Pagination: 260-266 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: average variable cost, marketing margin, rainy season vegetables Abstract: A case study was carried out to assess the benefit on cultivating rainy season vegetable
crops in the Koshi hills of Nepal. The study was carried out across the Dharan-Tehratlmm
road corridor from Mttlghat (400m) of Dhankuta districts to Basantpur (2200m) of
Tehratlwm districts. Five major rainy season vegetable crops namely: cabbage. cauliflower,
radish, pea and tomato were included in the study. The infomwtion 011 radish and cabbage
was collected form Basalllpur, cauliflower and peas from Sidlmwa and tomato from
Mulghat. Data collected during study were analyzed by using computer software. Maize is
the major altemate crop to the vegetables in rainy season and the net return received by the
famJers from maize production was only Rs. 607 per ropani. In the recent years, cabbage,
radish, cauliflower and peas cultivation after potato han•esting has increased instead of
maize. The net profit from cabbage, cauliflower, tomato radish and peas was found 11 times,
5.5 times, 13.8 times, 20 times, 6.1 times and 6.4 times higher than maize production while
Average Variable Cost (AVC) wasfowzd Rs. 1.17, 2.83, 3.37, 0.64 and 3.33 respectively. The
existing field price was observed profitable 011 cultivation of rainy season vegetables though
marketing margin was considerably high. It can be cone/ruled that the rainy season
vegetable production in hills is highly profitable.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=509 An Assessment of Rainy Season Vegetable Crops Cultivation in Koshi Hills [printed text] / T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author . - [s.d.] . - 260-266 p.

Title : Dynamics of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Application on Late Season Cauliflower Cultivation Material Type: printed text Authors: P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; S. Piya, Author ; Chaudhary, B.P., Author Pagination: 321-327 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cauliflower, curd yield, nitrogen, phosphorus Abstract: A study to identify an appropriate dose of nitrogen and phosphorus for late season
cauliflower (May production) was accomplished in the upper mid hills of eastem Nepal.
The experiment was conducted during the two consecutive years of 2000 and 2001. Three
level of nitrogen (60, 100 and 140 kg/ha) and the same level ofphosphoms (40, 80 and 120
kglha) were tested to Kibo Giant variety mailllaining a plant spacing of 45x30 em between
and within rows. Application of a minimum level (60:40:50 N: P20 5: K20 kg/Ita) of mineral
fertiliur yielded about a double ( 12.02 t/ha) curd yield titan that of only using compost at a
rate of 30 t/ha (6.77 t/ha). Among the different combinations of Nand P205fertilizers, only
different doses of nitrogen played role on curd yield. Analysis of variance of nitrogen,
phosphorus and their illferaction showed a significant (p<. 001) effect of nitrogen and nonsignificant
effect of different levels ofphosplwrus and their interactions. Nitrogen 140 kg/ha
yielded statistically the highest ( 19.65 t/ha) curd yield, which was followed by 100 kg
nitrogen per hectare ( 16.79 t/ha). There was a positive trend of increased level of nitrogen
(y=10.96+2.9x) belt not a clear trend of phosphorus. Pre and post experiment soil and plant
analysis failed to show significant correlation among N, P20s. K20, pH and OM contellts.
The results have given new direction in relation with fertilizer management for late season

Title : Effect of Planting Dates and Plant Spacing On.Late Season (March-May) Cauliflower Production Material Type: printed text Authors: P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; Chaudhary, B.P., Author Pagination: 328-333 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cauliflower, date of transplanting, spacing Abstract: Afield experimellt was carried out for three consecutive years ( 1997-1999) in upper mid hills
( 1940 mas/) to identify an appropriate spacing and date of transplanting for the late season
(March -May) caulijlov..'.!r production using a11 open pollinated variety. Four different plant
spacing (45x30 em, 45x40 em, 45x50 em and 45x60 em) and the same mtmber of
transplallting dates ( 1" week of February, 3rr1 week of February, 1" week of March and 3"1
week of March) were tested in factorial arrangements in randomized complete block design
with three replications. Among the tested plant spacing, 45x30 em between row and plants
respectively yielded the highest ( 19.63 t/ha) curd yield, which was followed by 45x40 em
spacing ( 18.5 tlha). None significant yield difference of curd yield between 111 week of
February ( 18.55 tlha) and 11
' week of March ( 18.98 t/ha) transplanting clearly demonstrates
that Kibo Giant variety of cauliflower ca11 be transplanted up to the first week of March for
late season production without loosing its genetic potelllial. Higher yield than that of
national average from the last date of transplallling i.e. 3'd week March ( 13.9 t/ha) clearly
point out a need for further testing of the dates by using the same variety. Recommendation
of closer spacing simultaneously demands a new rate of fertilizer requirement. Hence, an
investigation for appropriate dose of chemical fenilizers using the new spacing is pivotal for
the technology promotion.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=553 Effect of Planting Dates and Plant Spacing On.Late Season (March-May) Cauliflower Production [printed text] / P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; Chaudhary, B.P., Author . - [s.d.] . - 328-333 p.

Title : Effect of Seedlings Age and Hardening on Spring (March- 'May) Season Cauliflower Production Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Piya, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author Pagination: 334-337 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cauliflower, hardening, marketable yield, transplanting age Abstract: Afield experiment was executed to identify an appropriate transplanting age of seedling and
hardening effect on curd yield in spring season cauliflower production. The experiment was
conducted for two consecutive years at the central fann of Agriculture Research Station,
Pakhribas. The design was RCB in 3x2 factorial arrangemelll with three replications. Three
ages of seedlings (35, 45 and 55 days after sowing) with and without hardening were tested.
Marketable curd yield of cauliflower were found highly significant on ages (p<.05),
hardening (p<.OOI) and interaction (p<.05) of these factors. The highest yield (13.85 t/lta)
was recorded from the hardened seedlings of 45 days old. It can be concluded from the
experiment that hardening has the positive contribution to curd yield and seedlings of 45
days are appropriate for transplanting during spring season production while using an open
pollinated variety.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=554 Effect of Seedlings Age and Hardening on Spring (March- 'May) Season Cauliflower Production [printed text] / S. Piya, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author . - [s.d.] . - 334-337 p.
