Title : Impact of Mulching on Wheat Yield and Weed Floras in the Mid-hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Ranjit, Jagat Devi, Author ; ,Bellinder, Robin, Author ; Julie Lauren, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 21-26 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Management, mulching, suppression, weed floras, wheat Abstract: Studies on the effect of mulching and weed management strategies in wheat
were initiated at Khumaltar during the winter season of 2000-2002. The
treatments were weedy check, handweed alone, post emergence application
of sulfosufuron, and NPK application together with or without mulching.
Rice straw mulch was applied at the rate of 4 t/ha. Phalaris minor,
Alopecuros sp., Chenopodium album, Rumex crispus, Polygonum
hydropiper, Stellaria media, Cannabis sativa, and Soliva anthemifolia were
the dominant species. Among them, C. album, P. minor and Alopecuros
aqualis were the dominant species. The effect of mulching was seen six
weeks after wheat planting. The weedy check with mulch suppressed the
weeds about fifty percent compared to that of without mulching. Wheat

Title : Evaluation of plastic-covered environment in cucumber cultivation for mid hill conditions of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: G.B Manandhar, Author ; Adhikary, S.K., Author ; K. B. Poudel, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author ; R Rasaily, Author ; Shrestha, S., Author Pagination: 199-206 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Black plastic mulching, cucumber, magnetized water, house, UV-stabilized silpaulin Abstract: Plastic-covered environment was evaluated for three factors: a. plastic house (200 gauge normal, 90 and 120 gsm UV- stabilized Silpaulins); b. mulching (with and without black plastic) and c. irrigation (ordinary and magnetized water) on Bhaktapur Local variety of cucumber at Khumaltar during two planting seasons and years to find an economically viable technology for off-season cucumber cultivation in mid-hills. Overall effect of plastic house and mulching was found to increase the marketable cucumber yield by 5.8 and 3.7 kg, per plot (4 sq.m.) respectively………….

Title : Management of early shoot borer, Chilo infuscatellus Snellen (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in sugarcane through Integration of cultural methods with minimal application of chemical insecticides Material Type: printed text Authors: Ansari, A.R., Author Pagination: 290-294 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Shoot Borer, Early Sugarcane, Pest, Management, Earthing up, Trash, Mulching, Chlorpyriphos Abstract: An experiment was carried out during February, 2009 and the same was repeated in February, 2010 . Sole cultural management practices (viz. trash mulching, early light earthing up, furrow application of chlorpyriphos) as well as their combination with each other, were tested against early shoot borer on sugarcane plantation. The highest cane yield was produced from the plots treated with all three cultural practices (i.e. furrow application of chlorpyriphos at the rate of 1 kg a.i (active ingredient) per hectare plus 10 cm thick trash mulching immediately after planting plus two light earthing up at 45 and 60 days after planting)................

Title : Carbon dioxide emission from soil grown to wheat crop at Khumaltar, Lalitpur Material Type: printed text Authors: S Kandel, Author ; S.C Shah, Author ; Gautam, A.K., Author ; K.R Pande, Author Pagination: 412-420 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Carbon dynamics,CO2 emission, mulching, zero tillage. Abstract: Changes in farming practices could be an effective way to reduce carbon (CO2-C) emissions from agricultural lands thereby sequestering more carbon in the soil. A field experiment was conducted on an acidic silt loam upland soil of Khumaltar, Nepal during the dry season of 2011/2012. The study evaluated soil CO2 - C emission from a wheat field as influenced by tillage, mulch, and nitrogen (N) application. The factorial experiment laid-out on a split-split plot design consisted of three replications of 12 treatment combinations, i.e., two types of tillage (zero and conventional) on a main-plot, two levels of mulch (zero and 4 t ha-1 of rice straw) on a sub-plot and three levels of N application (zero, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) on a sub-sub plot. The crop growing season in this region is relatively longer primarily due to the effects of low temperature and high elevation (1300 masl); therefore, wheat (var. WK-1204) planted on December 6 of 2011 matured in six months (harvest date June 2 of 2012)………………..
