Title : Socio-economic Study on Current Farmer's Practices on Wheat and Mustard Production Systems in Surkhet, Salyan and Doti Districts Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur, Naresh Singh, Author ; Khadka, Ramji, Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 49-55 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Key words: Farmer's practice, impact evaluation, mixed crops, socio-economic study Abstract: Wheat is one of the major cereal crops grown as a mono crop or mixed with mustard/lentil or pea
in the Mid and Far Western Development Regions. The main objective of the study was to explore
the existing cropping practices of wheat and mustard production systems and to establish a
benchmark for further impact evaluation. Three representative districts Surkhet, Salyan and Doti
were selected for the socio-economic study in wheat and mustard production system. A total of 92
households were surveyed (using two stage purposive random sampling method) in the districts
and information was also collected through RRA techniques. The total population of the surveyed
households was 744 with an average family size of 7.8, 8.3 and 8.3 persons in Surkhet, Salyan and
Doti, respectively. Brahmin/Chhetri (66%) and Gurung/Newar (1%) were the major and minor
groups, respectively. The total area of the surveyed households was 79.96 hectares with an
average farm size of 0.91, 1.02 and 0.60 hectare for Surkhet, Salyan and Doti respectively.
Recommendation was made to identify the technology on mixed cropping of wheat and mustard
for appropriate time of planting to maximize productivity of wheat and mustard crops without
disturbing the existing farmer's practices.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=79

Title : Diversity and Role of Mango (Magnifera Indica L.) in Livelihood of Mango Growers of Eastern Terai of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Regmi, H.N., Author ; K.Budathoki, Author ; N G Pradhan, Author Pagination: 102-109 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: diversity, landraccs, mango, Socio-economic study Abstract: A study was carried out during the summer of 2003 in Bastipur of Siraha and Sripur of
Saptari districts where mango is a major tropical fruit. The objectives of the study were to
understand the diversity of mango mailllained by the farmers, assess the opportunity and
constraints and contribution made by the mango fruits in tl1eir livelihood. Participatory
Rural Appraisal (PRA), Focus group discussion (FGD), transect walk and key informant
survey were the tools used in the study. The cultivation of mango is a tradition in both
villages. History for cultivation of mango was traced since time immemorial. It was also
found that some cultural relationships were also linked with the mango trees as well. In both
sites, generally mango is being cultivated in dry and poor soil and also in marginal lands
where no other crops do well. Diversity of mango has been observed in both villages
maintained by the famlers. The famlers have grown a large number of improved cultivars as
well as locallandraces. Among ihe cultivars Maldha, a medium maturity variety with goodlooking
appearance. size and very good taste. After Maldha, Bombay Green was most
popular for mid season cultivar, Kalkattia and local land races. Fruit has a major role in the
livelihood of the farm family of the study sites, which contributed an average of 40% of the
total household income. Opportunities and constraints in mango production identified and
recommendations have been made accordinglv.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=473 Diversity and Role of Mango (Magnifera Indica L.) in Livelihood of Mango Growers of Eastern Terai of Nepal [printed text] / Regmi, H.N., Author ; K.Budathoki, Author ; N G Pradhan, Author . - [s.d.] . - 102-109 p.
