Title : Soil Fertility under Improved and Conventional Management Practices in Sanga, Kavrepalanchowk District, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, Ram Krishna, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 27-37 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Improved soil management practice, organic matter, fertility,upland Abstract: A study was carried out to compare the fertility of soils under improved soil
management practice with that of prevailing conventional practice and to
assess the farmers’ perception on the improved practice in the upland
farming system. The study was carried out in Nasikasthan Sanga of
Kavrepalanchok district of Nepal. Soil samples were collected from fields
under improved conventional practice. Samples were taken at 0-15 and 15-30
cm depths and were analyzed for various physico-chemical properties to
compare the fertility status of the soils under both the practices. Altogether
68 farmers were interviewed to have information on farming practices and
information pertinent to improved soil management practice being adopted
by them. Results from soil physico-chemical analysis showed higher fertility
of soils under improved practice in terms of more favorable pH level,
contents of exchangeable bases, available phosphorus and soil organic matter
compared to prevailing conventional soil management practice. Moreover,
majority of the farmers believed that soil fertility and physical condition of
their upland soils had improved and that the productivity of major upland
crops had also increased after the adoption of improved soil management
practice. Improved practice could play an important role in the sustainable
management of upland soils in the mid hills of Nepal. It is however,

Title : Varietal evaluation of maize against grey leaf spot disease in the Eastern Mid-hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: NK Dangal, Editor ; P Joshi, Author ; D.L. Mandal, Author ; Chaudhary, R.N., Author ; Chaudhary, B.N., Author Pagination: 326-328 p. Keywords: Cercospora zeae maydis ; improved varieties severity scoring yield Abstract: Grey leaf spot, caused by Cercospora zeae maydis, is a major disease of maize in the
eastern hills of Nepal. It has been causing significant maize yield loss in the eastern high
and mid hills, and is also spreading towards the western hills of the country. A field
experiment was conducted during 2011 and 2012 in the eastern mid hills of Nepal to
identify the high yielding GLS resistant maize variety. The experiment was conducted in
Diktel, Khotang at 1400 mas! under natural incidence of grey leaf spot disease. The
experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Plot
size was 9 m2
• Six improved varieties (viz. Ganesh-1, Manakamana-3, Manakamana-4,
Deuti, Sheetala and Posilo makai-1) of maize were evaluated along with the local variety.
Scoring of the disease was done after the incidence of the disease at grain filling stage.
Maize genotypes differed significantly for grey leaf spot severity and grain yield. All the
improved varieties had lower disease severity and produced higher grain yield compared to
the local variety (51.13% disease severity and 3.71 tlha yield). Ganesh-1 gave the highest
grain yield (4.87 tlha) with lowest disease severity of 37.40%. Similarly, Manakamana-3,
Posilo makai-1 and Manakamana-4 yielded 4.44, 4.53 and 4.43 tlha grain yield with disease
severity of 38.87, 41.60 and 41.27%, respectively. Thus, incidence and severity of the
disease can be minimized and yield can be increased by using improved maize varieties like
Ganesh-1 and Manakamana-3 in the grey leaf spot prone areas of the eastern hills.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=963 Varietal evaluation of maize against grey leaf spot disease in the Eastern Mid-hills of Nepal [printed text] / NK Dangal, Editor ; P Joshi, Author ; D.L.
