Title : Soil fertility evaluation of middle mountain of Nepal: A case of Shikharpur Municipality, Kathmandu District Material Type: printed text Authors: R Rai, Author ; R.P Tandan, Author ; B.K Krishna, Author Pagination: 316-329 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: GPS points, higher infiltration rate, satellite images and soil fertility maps. Abstract: An attempt is made to evaluate Soil fertility of Shankharapura recently announced Municipality in the Kathmandu District and map them. LRMP maps of land system, geology and land use are overlayed on the recent satellite images and polygons are developed and sampling points are marked with their GPS points to sample. Top soil based on these land use polygons are collected and analysed in the laboratory following methods generally adapted by DoA and NARC. They are classified to the soil taxonomy, grouped into different slopes, land use and land capability classes and prepare different soil fertility maps using ArcGIS software. This municipality occupies arable and non- arable Land. The land systems of this Middle Mountain Range fall on 9a, 9b 10a, 10b, 11 and 12 systems. The lands are south facing with slopes ranging from 1 to 45% (32% gentle terrace, 28% very high and the rest flat and very gentle terrace). Soils of higher percentage of slopes are highly erodible aggravated by light sandy texture……………….

Title : Soil nutrition distribution in Eastern Tarai of Nepal:A case study of Jhorahat VDC of Morang District Material Type: printed text Authors: R.P Tandan, Author ; R Rai, Author ; L Basnet, Author ; Karki K.B, Author Pagination: 358-367 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: GIS, Jhorahat VDC, land use, soil classification, fertility. Abstract: Food deficit, declining productivity of land and environmental degradation are directly related with the soil nutrition and its properties. In this context, the role of soil properties is considered as basis for sustainable land resource management and planning. The National Land Use Project (NLUP) is preparing land resource map at VDC level and The UN HABITAT is lunched Participatory Land Use Project (PLUP) as pilot resource mapping to prepare quality of land resource mapping with cost effective and effective implementation of resource mapping result. Jhorahat VDC lies in the eastern part of Morang District and occupies 982 ha area…………………………
