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 : Evaluation of finger millet genotypes for river basin area of mid-western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: K.R Pokhrel, Editor ; Dhakal, J.P. ; T. B. Ghimire, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author Pagination: 179-183 p. Keywords: On station trial ; farmers field trials mother genotypes river basin area Abstract: Finger millet( Elusinecoracana) is a fourth most important food crop of Nepal occupying
area of2,99,523 hectare, with the production and productivity of3,02,691 metric tons and
1.12 metric tons/ ha. respectively. Limited availability of improved varieties is one of the
prime reason for low average productivity of finger millet in Nepal. With the view to
identify superior genotypes for river basin areas of mid-western hill, various genotypes
obtained from Hill Crop Research Program. Kavre, Dolakba, were tested at Agriculture
Research Station, Dasarathpur,Surkhet and its outreach sites, during 2011 and 2012. In on
station trial the genotypes were highly significant for days to SO% panicle emergence and
days to 75% maturity. Significant difference was also observed for grain yield, number of
finger per plant, and lodging, while genotypes were significantly not different for straw
yield, plant height, and thousand seed weight. Based on the combined result of2011 and
2012, genotype ACC#2827-1 (2361 Kglha.) was found top grain yielder followed by
ACC#2324-1(2044Kglha.) and Local Check (1553Kg/ha.). In farmers' field and mother
trials the genotypes were highly significant for grain yield. Under ·these trials, genotype
GPU-0025 was found superior among all other genotypes.Evaluation of finger millet genotypes for river basin area of mid-western hills of Nepal [printed text] / K.R Pokhrel, Editor ; Dhakal, J.P. ; T. B. Ghimire, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author . - [s.d.] . - 179-183 p.

Title : Improving manure quality and its use in maize and upland rice production in the hills of Western Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Tripathi, B.P., Author ; Jim Ellis-Jones, Author Pagination: 105-110p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Chemical fertilizer, farmers practice, maize and rice, organic manure Abstract: Organic manure is the major source of plant nutrients in the hill farming system of Nepal but the quality of manure is not maintained by the farmers during the storage as well as application in the field. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to enhance the quality of manure and its use in the production of maize and upland rice in the farmers' field in different agro-climate conditions of the western hill s of Nepal. Manure heaps or pits practiced by the farmers were covered with black plastic sheets (improved practice) and uncovered (farmers' practice)..…..
