Title : Access to and Control Over Household Resources: A Consistency Check Using Gender Analysis and Household Survey Data Material Type: printed text Authors: Durga Devkota, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 98-102 p General note: Research note Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gender analysis, household survey, triangulation Abstract: A study was conducted during 1998 covering three Village Development Committees (VDCs) of
Chitwan district, Nepal, to examine the consistency of results if carried out independently using
formal and informal methods of information collection. Gender analysis (access and control
profiles), and a face-to-face household survey (n = 123 households) were employed for this
purpose. Gender differences in access to and control over household resources was studied.
Results showed a consistent response from both household survey and gender analysis for most
of the parameters studied, such as access to agriculture extension and veterinary services,
participation in training, and community work. Gender response for control over resources, such
as income from small animals was also similar from both methods. However, some of the
parameters were not consistent in response. For example, there was no participation of women in
control over income from cash crops and cereal crops and large animals as strongly indicated by
gender analysis, which was not visible in the case of household survey. This raises a question
about the reliability of using only one approach of information collection for rural development
research. On the basis of these results, we suggest a combine approach of quantitative and
qualitative methods of data collection, which could be more reliable, informative and
appropriate. The use of multiple methods also allows the researcher to cross-reference in order to
validate the trustworthiness of information.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=53

Title : Mandarin Production, Contribution in Household Income and Livelihood of Mandarin Farmers in the Eastern Hills of Nepal: a Case Study of Khoku Vdc Dhankuta District Material Type: printed text Authors: S Gautam, Author ; Sharma, B, Author ; Nepali, M.B., Author ; S.P. Srivastav, Author ; S Amatya, Author Pagination: 42-46 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: productive area, production, prominent, household income, greening diseases, Abstract: Mandarin is one of the important cash generating fruit crop in the hills of Nepal. The productive
area of mandarin in Nepal is 14601 hectare and annual production is 174868 these area and
production are more than double of that of /0 years before. Khoku, One of the prominent mandarin
growing villages of Dhankuta District, has been selected to conduct PRA survey in order to analyze
mandarin production and contribution in household income and constraints. The study was
initiated with the identification and selection of key sites under the command areas and group
discussion was made with the concern farmers. In the PRA survey, almost 30 farmers participated
In the study area, 32 % of the total annual income is contributed by mandarin followed by 30 %
non-farm activities (job salary, carpentry and remittance), I 3 %cereal crops and 10% livestock.
Annual sell of mandarin in each household ranges from Rs 30000 to Rs 250000. Mandarin is sold
on the contract basis. Most of farmers make the contract during the time of harvest. However, few
farmers make the contract prior to harvesting lime. Regarding the farm management practice,
compost is used each year by all farmers. Sulphur is sprayed only by 5 %farmers and no chemical
fertilizer is used Farmers suspected the greening diseases in some trees of several farm. Sample
has been collected and sent to NAST in order to make sure the diseases. However, farmers couldn't
get the result so far.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1632 Mandarin Production, Contribution in Household Income and Livelihood of Mandarin Farmers in the Eastern Hills of Nepal: a Case Study of Khoku Vdc Dhankuta District [printed text] / S Gautam, Author ; Sharma, B, Author ; Nepali, M.B., Author ; S.P.

Title : ON-FARM VARIATION AND HOUSEHOLD DIVERSITY OF PIGEON PEA LANDRACES IN KACHORWA, NEPAL Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, Bal K., Author ; P. Shrestha, Author ; M.P. Upadhyaya, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 23-28 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Household diversity index, on-farm variation, pigeon pea, quant-qualitativetraits Abstract: Farmers value the diversity because of diverse environments both in production and
consumption. On-farm morphological variation on pigeon peas (2n = 2x= 22 or 4x, 6x?) was
studied at Kachorwa, Bara, Nepal to assess the household categories that have maintained
diversity. Household diversity Index (HDI) of 10 different farmer categories was estimated
based on Shanon-Weaver method. Eighteen quantitative and qualitative (quant-qualitative)
traits were used for on-farm variation and HDI studies. On farm ANOVA was generated on
eight quantitative traits. Highest diversity (HDI, 0.265) was maintained by farmer of
medium wealth category who grows pigeon pea in upland bund. Pigeon pea grown in khet
(low land) bund with Pajawa landrace expressed least diversity (HDI, 0.079). Pigeon pea
growing in monoculture was more diverse (HDI, 0.224) for 18 traits than in other production
environments. Maximum variation was observed in growth habit followed by seed color
pattern. The highest grain yield among the Chanki growers was produced by the farmer of
medium wealth category growing pigeon pea in upland bund. Significance variation among
farmers in quantitative traits indicates the intra varietal diversity in pigeon pea. Diversity
varied with respect to wealth category and production environments. Farmer who has
maximum diversity on pigeon pea could able to receive the higher grain yield. Result related
to where and who maintain the diversity may be useful for development of on-farm
conservation strategy. Possibility of developing good varieties exits using Pajawa and
Chanki landraces.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=23
