Title : Effect of organic matter and iron slime on changes in soil properties Material Type: printed text Authors: S.P Vista, Author Pagination: 178-189 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Better availability, iron-slime, organic matter, physico-chemical properties Abstract: Iron-ore-slime is the waste product of iron and steel industries which has the particle size of below 15mm and is being discarded as waste during the mining and processing stages of iron ore. Laboratory incubation experiment was conducted in the laboratory in 2011 to investigate the effect of organic matter (OM) on soil physico-chemical properties amended with iron- slime with four different treatments replicated four times. Results of characterization study of iron-slime revealed that it is neutral in reaction, contains considerable amount of available plant nutrients and is fairly good enough in its fertility status. Addition of iron-slime influenced soil reaction in maintaining towards neutrality as that of organic matter……………………

Title : Plant Dry Matter Production and Partitioning with the Use of Human Urine Material Type: printed text Authors: Janardan Khadka, Author ; Devendra Shrestha, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 29-34 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Human urine, plant dry matter, root morphology, sour lime,vermicompost Abstract: Urine is a well-balanced nitrogen-rich quick-acting liquid Organic fertilizer. The
study aimed to know the responses of plants in relation to dry matter production
and partitioning, and variation in root morphology to organic fertilizers like
urine and vermicompost compared with control. Sour lime (Citrus aurentifolia)
was selected as planting material. Pot and root box experiments were conducted.
The absolute plant growth parameters like shoot dry weight, root dry weight and
total plant dry weight were not differ significantly in both pot and root box
experiments compared to control. However, results from both experiments
indicated that human urine application in sour lime had different plant growth
and development response (promote more shoot biomass than roots, seminal
root length, root branching number and total root length) and it might be
important in quality sapling production, plant mortality rate reduction during
transplanting and quality fruits production.

Title : Effect of Different Mulching Materials on Potato in Western Hill of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Ek M. Bhattarai, Author ; Buddi B. Pant, Author ; Yam R. Pandey, Author Pagination: 122-126 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cost benefit, mulching materials, organic matter, potato Abstract: Experiment on different mulching materials was conducted in Phalebas, Mudikuwa,
Devisthan and Khanigaun VDCs of Parbat district during 2006/07-2007/08 to select the
most profitable mulching practice and its effect on potato tuber yield and soil properties.
The plot size for each treatment was 9 rrl with a spacing of 25X60 em. Grass,
newspaper, black and white polythene sheet were used as mulching materials.
Economic analysis for each treatment was carried out to find out the most profitable
and cost effective mulching materials. Among the tested mulching materials, mulching
with grass gave the highest potato tuber yield (31340 kglha). Lowest potato tuber yield
(17260kg/ha) was found in farmers' practice (no mulching). It was observed that
existence of moisture content in the field was better and weed problem was less in all
treatments of mulching. Effect of different mulching practices on potato was found
highly significant on tuber yield. Mulching with newspaper, black and white polythene
sheet was found at par on yield of potato in both years. Non-significant change in soil
chemical properties was found among the treatments while organic matter content in
soil was slightly increased over the time in grass mulching. Experiment revealed that
grass mulching could be the most profitable, sustainable, locally and easily available
way of mulching for potato production in western hills.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=231 Effect of Different Mulching Materials on Potato in Western Hill of Nepal [printed text] / Ek M. Bhattarai, Author ; Buddi B. Pant, Author ; Yam R. Pandey, Author . - [s.d.] . - 122-126 p.

Title : Nutritional Variation of Different Feed Ingredients and Compound Feed Found in Different Parts of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Tiwari, Megh Raj, Author ; Shreekrishna Khanal, Author ; Shrestha, B., Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 75-81 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Crude fibre, crude protein, dry matter, feed ingredients, organic total ash Abstract: Many feed industries in various parts of the country have been producing and marketing
different types of compound feeds. The source of feed ingredients also varies greatly which will
ultimately lead to the variation in the quality of finished products. Altogether 493 samples of 50
different feed ingredients and compound feed were collected from Baglung, Baitadi, Banke,
Chitwan, Darchula, Dolakha, Dolpa, Gorkha, Ilam, Jhapa, Kathmandu, Kaski, Lalitpur,
Lamjung, Morang, Mahottary, Makwanpur, Myagdi, Nawal Parasi, Parbat, Parsa, Rasuwa,
Rupandehi, Sankhuwasava, Sunsari, Saptari, Sarlahi, Sindhupalchok, Siraha, Syangja and
Tanahun districts. Highest content of dry matter (99.51%), organic matter (98.45%), total ash
(98.14%) and crude protein (67.85%) was recorded for oyster cell, white maize grain, oyster cell
and meat meal respectively. Similarly, the rice husk was found to be superior in crude fibre
content (34.46%) In terms of mineral oyster cell was found to be superior in calcium content
(35.94%) and bone meal in phosphorous content (1.59%) as compared to other feed ingredients.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=50
