Title : Enhancing maize (Zea mays L.) productivity through soil acidity managment in Chitwan valley soils Material Type: printed text Authors: Bishnu Hari Adhikary ; Bandhu Raj Baral, Author ; Jeeban Shrestha, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author ; Robinson Adhikary, Author Pagination: 260-265 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture lime ; green-manuring oil-cakes soil acidification and zea mays Abstract: Acidification of so il is one of the major factors contributing soi l fertility decline in most of the
arable land in the hills and terai of Nepal. It does not only limit the nutri ent availabili ty but
also limit the maize (Zea mays L.) production and plant growth resulting low or reduced crop
y ields if not ameliorated. Soil acidity correction measures need to be employed for increased
maize productivity in the problem so il s. To evaluate the effects of different practices
employed in soi l ac idity correction, experiments were conducted during the years 20 I 0 and
2011 in NMRP, Ram pur on the hybrid maize (Across -9944 x Across- 9942 in) and Across-
9331 variety by us ing eight different treatments (control, agriculture-lime, compost , urea-N,
ammonium sulphate-N, poultry manu·re, ex-situ green- manuring and oil-cakes). The plot size
was 12sq.m . (4 m x 3 m). The experiment was la id-out in a randomized compl ete block
design (RCBD) with three replications. Soil samples were collected befo re crop pl anting and
after harvest for so il pH and nutrient analysis. Growth and yield parameters were recorded
and analysed statistica lly. The results revea led that high ly significant effect of treatments on
the crop yields were observed in both years . Highest grain y ield (6.57 t ha- 1
) in the 1 sr year
when the crop was fertilized by oil-cakes at I 0 t ha- 1 where as in the following year the
highest gra in yie ld (5.37 t ha- 1
) was produced by poultry manures at 10 t ha-1
• Appl ication of
oil-cakes at 1 t ha-1 in the 2"0 year produced only 3.84 t ha- 1 of gra ins . Two years mean grain
yield result indicated a sharp response of treatments on the grain production of maize over the
non-treated crop. The highest grain yie ld (5.2 t ha- 1
) was produced when the crop was
supplied with oil-cakes followed by poultry manures which produced the mean grain yield of
4.49 t ha-1
. Lowest grain yield (1.8 t ha- 1
) was produced by non-treated crop (control
plot).Application of agriculture-lime, compost, oil-cakes and green-manuring help decrease
the soil acidity to some extent. It can be concluded that farmers are suggested to apply organic
sources of fertilization along with agriculture-lime for increased maize productivity.This
paper highlights and discuss the results of the soil acidity management practices in detail.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=908 Enhancing maize (Zea mays L.) productivity through soil acidity managment in Chitwan valley soils [printed text] / Bishnu Hari Adhikary ; Bandhu Raj Baral, Author ; Jeeban Shrestha, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author ; Robinson Adhikary, Author . - [s.d.] . - 260-265 p.

Title : Identification and dissemination of high yielding varieties of quality protein maize in the river basin areas of mid western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Anil Pokhrel ; Keshav Raj Pokhrel ; Gam Bahadur Pun ; Nain Singh Chhetri ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tara bahadur Ghimire, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author Pagination: 28-32 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize ; QPM CVT CFFT Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is the important cereal crop in Nepal and the main stable food crop for
the hill people. Quality Protein Maize (QPM) is maize with high nutritive value of endosperm
protein with twice the content of limiting amino acids lysine and tryptophan compared to
normal maize. Replacing the normal maize by QPM is the most effective and attractive
measure to meet protein needs and rise human nutritional status of the hill people.
Considering these facts a series of experiments, Coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) and
Coordinated Farmers Field Trial (CFFT) at station and its outreach sites (Ramghat, Maintada
and Gumi) of ARS, Surkhet were conducted during the normal growing seasons of 20 ll and
2012 with the objectives of identification and dissemination of high yielding QPM varieties in
the river basin areas of mid-western hill of Nepal. A total of 13 and 5 QPM genotypes with
farmer's variety were evaluated in CVT and CFFT in two consecutive years of20 11 and 2012
respectively. Out of 14 genotypes tested under CVT, genotypes: S03 TL YQ-AB-02 (3295
kg/ha), Poshilo Makai-1 (3209 kg/ha) and Rampur S03-FQ02 (2998 kglha) were superior for
grain yield and husk cover but were non-significant with farmers variety (3233 kg/ha).
Similarly in CFFT, out of 5 QPM genotypes tested, genotypes: 303-TLYQ-AB-01 (3277
kg/ha) and S03-TL YQ-AB-02 (3071 kg/ha) were superior in grain yield but were found nonsignificant
with farmer's variety (3073 kg/ha) .Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=856 Identification and dissemination of high yielding varieties of quality protein maize in the river basin areas of mid western hills of Nepal [printed text] / Anil Pokhrel ; Keshav Raj Pokhrel ; Gam Bahadur Pun ; Nain Singh Chhetri ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tara bahadur Ghimire, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author . - [s.d.] . - 28-32 p.
