Title : Earthworm growth rate and soil chemical properties influenced by different levels of farm yard manure Material Type: printed text Authors: R.B Ojha, Author Pagination: 209-215 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Earthworm population, farm yard manure (FYM), soil organiccarbon. Abstract: Farm Yard Manure (FYM) is an integral component of agricultural input in small holder Nepalese farming communities where mixed cropping system (agriculture and livestock integration) is practiced. Despite of quality of FYM produced in farm level appropriation of right dose in farmers' field is not achieved yet. So, to quantify appropriate level of FYM in farmer field this experiment was conducted at research farm of IAAS from October 2012 to May 2013 catching major two crop growing seasons i.e. winter and spring season in which broccoli and Mung bean were cropped, respectively. Six treatments (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 t ha-1 FYM) were replicated four times. In each plot 100 earthworms were released in one square meter earthworm inoculation unit. Soil organic carbon (SOC) and earthworm growth rate was significantly influenced by FYM levels of 30 t ha-1 in both seasons. EC1:5, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen also achieved highest at this dose in winter and spring seasons. Hence, once application of 30 t ha-1 FYM is sufficient to maintain earthworm population and soil properties in the field growing cole crops followed by legumes in rotation.

Title : Growth and Production of Pineapple (Ananas Comosus L. Merr.) as Affected by Manure and Fertilizer Levels Material Type: printed text Authors: B. H. Adhikary, Author ; C. Adhikary, Author ; S. P. Dahal, Author ; D. B. Ranabhat, Author ; M. Ghale, Author Pagination: 75-79 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Ananas comosus, manure and fertilizer levels, fruit size Abstract: An experimellt on pineapple (Ananas comosus L Merr. ) was conducted at ARS, Malepatan in
acid soil condition ( 4.6-4.8 pH) during the years 1999 to 2003 to evaluate the response of
manure and fertilizers on the plant growth and pineapple production . The experiment was
laid out in a randomized complete block design and was replicated three times. Eigl!t different
levels of fertilizer (NPK) and compost were applied to evaluate their effects on the pineapple
production The results revealed that the manure and fertilizer levels influenced the growth
characters (plant height, leaf, crown and sucker numbers). Maximum suckers ( 1.69 /plant)
were produced wben the crop was supplied with 600: 400: 600 kg per hectare N, P20 5 and
K20 plus 20 ton per hectare of compost. Ma:'Cimum fruit length (10.59 em) and fruit
circumference (29.02 em) were observed at this level of manure and fertilizer application.
Maximum biomass (2.58 kg /plant) and fruit weight (513.33 g per plant) were produced when
the crop was fertilized with 20 ton per hectare of compost plus 600: 400: 600 kg N, P20 5, and
K20 per hectare and were found highly significantly different to other levels of fertilizer
application. The significant response of manure and fertilizers was observed on fruit weight
of pineapple. The minimum fruit weight of 5. 74 tlha which is equivalent toRs. 57,400 /ha, was
observed with the non-treated control crop, whereas the maximum fruit yieliof 11.41 t /ha
which is equivalent to Rs. 1,14, 100.0/ha (gross rerum) was obse1ved when the crop was
supplied with 20 ton per hectare of compost plus 600: 400: 600 kg N. P20 5 and K20 per
hectare where the cost of fertilizer and compost was calculated to be Rs. 75,538.0 /Ita and the
net retum was observed to be Rs 38,562.0 /ha, which was found to be higher than the nontreated
crop suggesting that fertilizer application alone at 200: 100: 200 kg N, P205 and
K20 per hectare could give the highest net- retum of Rs. 75,149.0 per hectare in acid soil

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)..…..

Title : On-farm monitoring of improved management of farmyard manure and soil nutrient fertility in the middle hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: B.K Bishwakarma, Author ; R Allen, Author ; J Merz, Author ; Dhital, B.K., Author ; Rajbhandari, N.P., Author ; Shrestha, S.K., Author ; I.C Baillie, Author Pagination: 68-78 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Farm yard manure (FYM), nutrient loss through leaching, organic matter, soil- nitrogen, topsoil. Abstract: Programmes to improve traditional soil management on the very small farms in the mid-hills of Nepal have previously recommended inorganic fertilizers as the main means of eN hancing soil fertility. Farmyard manure (FYM) applied mainly to improve soil physical properties. Since 2000, the Sustainable Soil Management Programme has promoted sustainable soil management practices giving greater prominence to FYM as a nutrient fertilizer by promoting improvements in its management and quality. FYM improvement involves: careful collection, layering, turning and moistening of the manure; shading heaps from sunlight to minimize N-volatilization; protecting heaps from rainfall to reduce nutrient loss through leaching; and the systematic collection and admixture of cattle and buffalo urine……………….

Title : Effect of Different Sources of Organic and Inorganic Nutrients in Wheat under Terai Condition Material Type: printed text Authors: S Devkota, Author ; Shrestha, S., Author ; S.P Vista, Author Pagination: 141-143 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Chemical fertilizer farm yard manure (FYM), poultry and vermicompost. Abstract: An experiment was conducted at RARS, Parwanipur in rice wheat cropping system for two years from 2012 to 2013with nine treatments and four replication with an objective to compare the effect of different sources of organic manure and high analysis chemical fertilizer. Results of the combined analysis revealed that wheat yield and yield attributing parameters such as plant height and panicle length differed significantly with the treatments of the experiment. The highest grain yield (2599 kg ha-1) of wheat was obtained from the plot treated with recommended dose of chemical fertilizer followed by combined application of chemical fertilizer (half of the RDF) and poultry manure @ 10 t ha-1 (2435 kg ha-1). Parameters no. of tillers and test weight were non-significant. Unexpected high yield obtained in combined application of vermicompost, FYM and poultry manure.
