Title : Effect of lime application on major plant nutrient dynamism in acidic soils Material Type: printed text Authors: K.B. Thapa, Author ; Joshi, B.D., Author ; Pandey, S., Author ; KC, R.B., Author ; D.D Paudel, Author Pagination: 218-223 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Acidic soil in cultivating farmland is considered to be a major problem in Nepal. A four-year experiment was conducted in acidic soil at Malepatan, Pokhara to identify the ways to solve the problem since 2007. Four doses of lime (0, 2, 4 and 6 t ha-1), farmyard manure and with or without application of recommended dose of fertilizers were used in the experiment. Altogether, nine treatments were included in randomized complete block design with three replications. Cauliflower (Kathmandu Local) and Cowpea (Malepatan-1) were grown in the plots…………………………

Title : Effects of zinc application on soil zinc concentration and rice productivity Material Type: printed text Authors: Pandey, S., Author ; I.B Oli, Author ; K.B. Thapa, Author Pagination: 55-57 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A soil survey was conducted to know the zinc status of soil in Tanahun district in the year 2067, where the farmers reported the low yield of rice. Then a field experiment in the zinc deficient soil of district was conducted during the year 2068 to study the role of zinc application on the yield of rice and improving the zinc content of the soil. The experiment was laid in RCBD with five treatments. The treatments were control, farmer method, foliar spray, soil application and soil cum foliar application of the zinc. The grain yield of the rice was significantly higher in the treated plots than in the control and the farmer methods. Among the treated plots the highest yield was recorded in the soil cum foliar application. The yield was higher in the foliar application than in the soil application of zinc. The zinc concentration in the soil was not significantly different after experiment but it was highest in the soil application and lower in the foliar application. The soil cum foliar application has lower concentration of soil zinc than the soil application.

Title : Response of different organic manures on fresh cherry yield of coffee Material Type: printed text Authors: K.B. Thapa, Author ; YR Bhusal., Author ; R. Chaudhary, Author ; KC, R.B., Author ; D.D Paudel, Author ; Adhikari, S., Author Pagination: 224-226 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A three year (2008-2010) collaborative study was conducted on response of organic manures on fresh cherry yield of coffee at Agriculture Research Station (Horticulture), Malepatan, Pokhara. Farm yard manure (FYM), pig litter, mustard oil cake and poultry manure were evaluated on four coffee varieties (Pacamara, Pacas, Tekisic and Chhetradeep). Poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 gave the highest fresh cherry yield (1805.85 kg ha-1) followed by mustard oil cake @ 2.5 t ha-1 (1731.83 kg ha-1), pig litter @ 10 t ha-1 (1538.24 kg ha-1) and FYM @10 t ha-1 (1458.77 kg ha-1). However, the differences were not significant. The highest mean yield of fresh cherry (2290.14 kg ha-1) was found in ‘Tekisic’ variety followed by Chhetradeep (1683.76 kg ha-1), Pacas (1520.12 kg ha-1) and Pacamara (1040.66 kg ha-1). The ‘Tekisic’ variety and ‘Chhetradeep’ (locally grown coffee) recorded as promising coffee varieties for the fresh cherry production under Malepatan conditions.
