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 : Identifying high yielding maize genotypes for Karnali region of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Keshab Babu Koirala ; Dil Bahadur Gurung ; Tirtha Rraj Rijal ; Jeeban Shrestha ; Ram Bahadur Bhujel, Author Pagination: 68-70 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: maize ; genotypes Jumla Karnali Abstract: With the objective of identifying high yielding maize genotypes for Karnali region, twenty-six
mai ze genotypes collected from Karnali region were tested in spring season at on-station and
farmers' fields of Agricu ltural Research Station Jumla and wi nter season of 2012 at National
Maize Research Program, Rampur, Chitwan. High ly significant differences among the tested
genotypes were observed for days to 50% tasseling and s il king in both of the locations. Grain
yield differed significantly at NMRP Rampur and highly significantly in Jumla. The
genotypes namely KKT-POP, KKT-03, KKT-1 4, MGU-08 , Kamali Pool White and Kamali
Pool Yellow produced higher grain yield at both the locations, Jumla and Rampur. Ganesh J
produced the highest grain yie ld in Jumla.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=862 Identifying high yielding maize genotypes for Karnali region of Nepal [printed text] / Keshab Babu Koirala ; Dil Bahadur Gurung ; Tirtha Rraj Rijal ; Jeeban Shrestha ; Ram Bahadur Bhujel, Author . - [s.d.] . - 68-70 p.

Title : Identifying high yielding protein maize genotypes for hill districts of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Bhanu Pokhrel ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tirtha Rraj Rijal ; Jeeban Shrestha ; Narayan Bahadur Dhami, Author ; Amrit prasad Paudel, Author Pagination: 71-74 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Grain yield ; quality protein maize Abstract: Quality protein maize (QPM) varieties are necessary for reducing malnutrition and food
security problem in hill districts of Nepal. To identify high yielding QPM varieties, various
coordinated varietal trials (CVTs) were conducted in Khumaltar (Lalitpur) and Kabre
(Dolakha) from 20 II to 2012 summer season and coordinated farmers' field trials (CFFT) in
Lumle (Kaski), Dailekh and Kabre in 20 II summer season and Dailekh and Kabre in 2012
summer season. The genotypic superiority for grain yie ld was determined using ANOV A at
5% level of significance. Overall findings of the trials showed the genotypes namely,
Obatanpa followed by S99TLWQ-B and SO I SfYQ produced the highest grain yield in
coordinated varietal trials and genotypes S99TL YQ-B followed by SO I SIWQ-3 and Poshilo
Makai-1 produced the highest grain yield in coordinated farmers' field trials across testing
sites and years. The superior varieties derived from CFFT could be released and
recommended to farmers of hill districts ofNepalLink for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=864 Identifying high yielding protein maize genotypes for hill districts of Nepal [printed text] / Bhanu Pokhrel ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tirtha Rraj Rijal ; Jeeban Shrestha ; Narayan Bahadur Dhami, Author ; Amrit prasad Paudel, Author . - [s.d.] . - 71-74 p.
