Title : Present status of cole crops cultivation in hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Piya, Author ; Khatiwada, P.P., Author Pagination: 115-120 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cole crops, hills, status Abstract: To understand the current practices of nursery and cultivation of cauliflower and cabbage in hills, surveys were carried out in different semi-commercial vegetable crops growing areas of Ilam, Terhathum, Dhankuta, Makawunpur, Kaski and Parbat districts. Farmers of the mid and high hills were only interested to grow the cole crops during off-season (April-October) period. Because of three to five times higher market prices than that of winter season production of these crops, farmers have been extending the cultivation area and also altering the cultivation practices…...

Title : Horticultural Research in Nepal: an Overview and Future Directions Material Type: printed text Authors: Sah, R.P., Author ; P. R. Bhurtyal, Author ; Maharjan, B.B., Author Pagination: 1-10 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture Perspective Plan, bio-diversity, high value crops, World Trade
Organization, Intellectual Property RightsAbstract: Horticulture is an important componellt of Nepalese agriculture contributing signijicamly to
nutrition, food security, economy and Livelihoods of the people. In addition, this sector has
provided employment and business opportrm"ities to various cliellfs and raw materials to
agro-based industries. Horticulture sector currelltly contributes nearly 31% to AGDP.
Despite initiatives on horticulture development started as early as 1940s in Nepal, research
on fruits and vegetables on a systematic manner began only after 1970s. Focused research
on priority issues in a coordinated manner took off only after creation of autonomous NARC
in 1991. Diverse agro-ecology provides highly conducive environmellts for range of fruits,
vegetables and other horticultural crops in Nepal. Tflis has endowed with a rich wealth of
genetic resources of horticultural crops in Nepal. The APP and Tenth Five Year Plan have
explicitly indicated to strengthen fruits and vegetables research and development including ·
supply . of inputs, credits, marketing and processing componellfs to enhairce their
commercialization. Recent research have contributed to develop improved varieties and
production technologies, that have shown impacts on production and income at the farm
level in crops like tomato, cucumber, cauliflower, cabbage, potato, citnTs, banana, and
others. Necessary strategic reforms and supports to strengthen research capability to
address priority demand driven issues and options, developing necessary polices and
marketing supports, and enhancing collaboration and linkage with stakeholders for efficient
and effective outputs delivery have been suggested to address new challenges and

Title : Measuring Returns from Improved Rice, Maize and Wheat Research in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur, Naresh Singh, Author ; Paudel, M.N., Author ; Gauchan, Devendra, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 103-112 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture, food crops, impact, internal rate of return,livelihood, research investment Abstract: Studies on returns to research have been established in different countries to
justify research funding and allocation of research priorities. However in
Nepal, there are no scientific studies carried out recently on return to
research investment in major crops and commodities, despite priority given
in agricultural sector. This paper has summarized the research investment
with respect to major cereals viz; rice, maize, and wheat and income
generated by the impact of improved varieties of these crops in Nepal.
Internal rate of return for major cereal crops (rice, maize, and wheat) was
estimated using time series data of 1995 to 2005. The findings revealed that
there is a negative annual growth rate (-0.59%) of NARC budget during
1998-2004. There was a food deficit during mid nineties, however, in the late
nineties while despite tremendous curtailing of budget for research, a surplus
of food grain was observed. Although the situation of positive food grain
balance is not the result of current year's efforts on research it could be the
impacts of years of efforts that were in a continuous pace in the past for
agriculture R&D coupled with the impacts of extension related activities in
the country. Food surplus is mainly contributed by the efforts of massive
release of improved varieties of crops by NARC during late nineties. The
internal rate of return (IRR) of these cereals for a decade (1995-2004) was in
the range of 84-105%, which is around Rs 235673 millions of income
generation while investment for their research was Rs 559 millions (0.24%
of their revenue). This indicates that there is gross under funding on research
for major crops, despite their significant contribution in national economy,
food security, and livelihood improvement in Nepal. Finally paper suggests
for increased investment in agricultural research for meeting increasing
needs of food, income, and employment of growing population as well as
enhancing and sustaining future agricultural R&D in the country.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=35

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
