Public ISBD in Agricultural research for poverty alleviation and livelihood enhancement. Proceedings of the 3rd SAS-N Convention 27-29 August 2008, Lalitpur / Paudyal, Krishna Prasad     Title : Role of legume intercropping in sustainable farming in mid hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: G Shrestha, Author ; Karki K.B, Author ; G.D Bhatta, Author Pagination: 58-64 p.

These crops are even much important in mid hills where large chunk of lands are sloppy by nature and needs proper conservation practices particularly with the use of legume crops. The study has been carried out to monitor status of legume intercropping in maize based cropping pattern and its role in sustainable farming in mid hills of Nepal. Nitrogen contribution by legume intercropping in the soil fertility maintenance has been found modest than under mono cropped maize fields. Although productivity of sole cropped maize is higher than that of legume intercropped, farmers have perceived that weed problem is lesser in legume intercropped area…………………    Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1505 in Agricultural research for poverty alleviation and livelihood enhancement.
