Title : Economic Analysis of Commercial Potato Cultivation in Kusadevi, Kavre Material Type: printed text Authors: Govinda P. Sharma, Author ; Tulasi Gautam, Author ; Shambhu. P. Dhakal, Author ; Shyam P. Dhakal, Author Pagination: 117-125 p.benefit/cost ratio; commercial potato; cost of cultivation; farm gate price; Kavre district, net farm income, return on investment, small farmers Languages : English (eng) Keywords: benefit/cost ratio; commercial potato; cost of cultivation; farm gate price; Kavre
district, net income, return on investment, small farmersAbstract: A study was conducted to assess the economic profitability of commercial potato (mairz season)
cultivation among farmers of KusaDevi, Kavre. Potato forms one of the major agriculture
enterprises with summer production as major share and other being autumn season. Farmers were
selected randomly and were provided with daily farm record format jointly developed by NPDP
and MRSMP. Data were filled by farmers and verified by regular supervision from NPDP
throughout the crop season for use of inputs and yield whereas information regarding farming,
command area, marketing and other relevant information were obtained by focused group
discussion. Quantitative data were analyzed using MS Excel and SPSS 16. The total investment per
ropany (500m1
) was found approximately 9530 NRs of which household resources accounted 69%
share and remaining being direct cash investment. The blc ratio was approximately 1.32 and 1.77
and ROI was found 0.32 and 0. 77 at the farm-gate price (FGP) at harvesting time and most
common selling price respectively. Farmers' product price varied greatly with their retention
capacity, storage availability and dealing with traders at local and distant markets such as
Kalimati and other wholesale markets of Kathmandu valley. Seed, fertilizer and labor ranked first,
second and third respectively by share of investment in potato cultivation. Cost of cultivation
particularly seed potato, fertilizer and labor cost in one hand; and the yield and FGP of fresh
potato as well as its demand pressure from market on other hand were the major factors
determining the net economic return to the farmers.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1652 Economic Analysis of Commercial Potato Cultivation in Kusadevi, Kavre [printed text] / Govinda P.

Title : Economics of Winter Potato Production in Kabhrepalanchowk District Material Type: printed text Authors: B. K. Upadhyay, Author Pagination: 231-237 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: conomics of potato production, gross revenue. input cost, net profit. Abstract: This paper antilyses the economics of winte1: potato production of Khet land in
Kabhrepalanchowk District of Nepal, working on the cost benefit framework. The net
profitability of potato production is determined so as to draw purposeful policy
recommendation for the fuation of price of potato crop and the crucial inputs used in its
cultivation. This paper draws the data on area under potato, inputs for its cultivation
including manpower (i.e. labour), bullock power, capital (seed, manure, fertiliser and
insecticides) and gross production of potato from il1te1view with the randomly selected 175
households of Mahadevsthan, Panchkhal, Puranogaun and Tukucha VDCs and Panauti
Municipality. The field survey was conducted from December 1999 to August 2000. The
overall average farm area under winter potato cultivation is 0.20 hectare per household. The
average area of fanu under potato ranges from a minimum of 0.07 hectare to a mcuimum of
0.25 hectare across the survey villages. Winter potato production incurs an average cost of
Rs. JJ,421.9 per farm and Rs. 56,187.2 per hectare per household. The input prices as
reported by household heads are taken while calculating the purchase pl'ices of inputs. The
gross production of potato is 5, 079.8 kilograms per farm. The yield of winter potato is
24,308.3 kilograms per hectare per household. The gross value of potato is obtained
multiplying the quallfity of potato by its farm gate price (that is, price of potato when
prevailed in th.e survey villages during its harvest). On average, gross receipts from winter
potato is Rs.28, 715.9 per farm and Rs, I, 37,392 per hectare per household. Results revealed
that the cultivation of potato in Kabhre district is a profitable engagement. For determining
the profitability of potato cultivation, all cost items, whether paid or noll-paid, used by the
sample growers are taken into account. Then, receipt from the sale of output or potato was
calculated. Deducting total input costs from gross receipts, it is obsen1ed that the net profit
from potato production exceeds its cost of production. The average 11et be11ejit from potato
production is Rs. 17,294.0 per farm and Rs. 81,204.8 per hectare per household.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=502 Economics of Winter Potato Production in Kabhrepalanchowk District [printed text] / B. K. Upadhyay, Author . - [s.d.] . - 231-237 p.

Title : Effect of Sowing Dates in Economic Return from Okra Varieties in Spring-Summer in Chitwan, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Tika R. Chapagain, Author ; Shanta Man Shakya, Author ; Moha Dutta Sharma, Author ; Yubak Dhoj G.C., Author Pagination: 246-250 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Net return, okra, spring season, sowing dates, varieties Abstract: An experiment was carried out at IAAS, horticulture farm to determine the effect of
sowing dates in economic return from okra varieties in spring sum'!ler in inner-terai
region of Ghitwan Nepal. Five. varieties of okra namely; Anokhi (Ft), Parvani Kranti, Arka
Anamika, Shagt.in and K-51 were planted at four different dates(~ March- 1ff' April) at
15 days interval with three replications in split plot design. A case study was also carried
out in Gunjanagar VDG of Ghitwan district to compare the cultivation costs of research
plot and on farm okra production. The highest net return (Rs 238,495.0/ha) .was obtained
from~ March sowing. However, the highest cultivation cost (Rs 98,920:0Jha) required
for the crop sown on 1 th March. The highest net return (Rs 273,387. 0/ha) was obtained
from Anokhi from ~ March sowing and the lowest net return was obtained from Parvani
Kmati (Rs 80,428.0) from 1st April sowing. The highest BIG ratio (2.81) was obtained
from Arka Anamika from ~ March sowing. During .case study, 4 different sowing times
were identified as major sowing times (1st week of February, 1st week of March, ~ week
of March & ~ week of July). The net return was higher (Rs 255, 400.0/ha) from 1st week
of February sowing. The highest BIG ratio (2.91)- was observed in the crop sown in 1st
week of March due to comparatively higher productivity and lower cultivation cost as
compared to 1st week of February.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=255 Effect of Sowing Dates in Economic Return from Okra Varieties in Spring-Summer in Chitwan, Nepal [printed text] / Tika R.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize (Zea maize) ; net return weed flora control yield Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L) is the predominant crop in mid-western hills of Nepal. Productivity of
maize is low due to several biotic, abiotic and socio-economic factors. Weed infestation is one
of the main reasons in lowering the maize yield in this region. To find out the suitable weed
contro l measures in hill of mid-western region, a field experiment was conducted in two
consecutive years of 20 11 and 2012 at Agriculture Research Station, Dasharathpur, Surkhet.
Eleven treatment combinations consisting of Atrazine 50 WP @ 2.5 kg/ha (Pre-emergence),
Pendimethaline 30 EC @ 3.3 L/ha (Pre-emergence) and Glyphosate 41 SL 5 L!ha (Postemergence)
with or without hoeing; 2,4-D (80%) @ 2 kg!ha (Post-emergence) fo llowed by
hoeing; sunhemp mix cro pping (30 kg/ha) and incorporation at 30 days after sowing; hand
weed ing without hoeing; farmers practices (hand weedin g and hoeing) and no weeding
(control) were evaluated in RCBD with three replications in maize-wheat system under
bariland cond itions. Motha (Cyperus sp.), Banso (Axonopus compressus (Swartz)), Bokejhar
