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 : Response of Cowpea Varieties to different seeding dates and fertilizer nutrient management Material Type: printed text Authors: M.K Sah, Editor ; P Shah ; Sah, M.P., Author Pagination: 272-276 p. Keywords: Cowpea ; seeding dates spring season farm yard manure response Abstract: Field experiments were conducted in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) during spring
seasons of 2010 and 2011 to study the response of cowpea varieties to different seeding
dates and fertility level at Regional Agriculture Research Station, Parwanipur. Twelve
treatments consisting of three sowing dates (10111 March, 25th March and lOth April), two
varieties (Prakash and Surya) and two fertility level ( 20:40:20 kg NPK/ha and FYM@ 5
tlha) were replicated thrice in a split- split plot design. Two years result indicated that 25 1
h
March sown crop yielded more than 1 01
h March and the yield was significantly higher over
lOth April sown cowpea. Irrespective of varieties and fertility level, date of seeding
significantly influenced plant height, pod length, number of pods/plant, number of
seeds/pod and I 00 seed weight of cowpea. However, Surya variety of cowpea was superior
over Prakash with respect to growth and yield attributes. Both varieties were more
irresponsive to farm yard manure than inorganic NPK fertilizers.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=953 Response of Cowpea Varieties to different seeding dates and fertilizer nutrient management [printed text] / M.K Sah, Editor ; P Shah ; Sah, M.P., Author . - [s.d.] . - 272-276 p.

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.

Title : Long-term soil fertility trial in rice - Wheat system in regional agricultural research station, khajura, Banke: Results of soil analysis data from 1998 to 2006 and 2014 AD Material Type: printed text Authors: G Shrestha, Author Pagination: 244-256 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Early rice, farm yard manure (FYM), long-term soil fertility, fertility wheat yield. Abstract: Long-term soil fertility trial (LTSFT) was initiated in the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Khajura, Banke since 1978. The experiment was designed in Randomized Complete Block Designwhich consisted nine treatments with different fertilizer doses and with three replications. Soil analysis results from rice – wheat system collected through 1998 to 2006 and 2014 were used. Results revealed treatments had significant effect in soil organic matter (p value = 0.0046) and soil available phosphorus (p value = 0.013) content. Soil pH trend in long-termwas significant (p value < 0.05) positive in all treatments except two i.e. control and only nitrogen (100 kg ha-1) applied treatments Soil organic matter (SOM) trend line along the time was significantly positive for all treatments (p value<0.001) except (100:00:30 N P2O5 K2O kg ha-1), (100:30:30 N P2O5 K2O kg ha-1) and (50:00:00 N P2O5 K2O kg ha-1)……………………………

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……………….
