Title : Assessment of site specific nutrient management on the productivity of wheat at Bhairahawa, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: M. Yadav, Author ; Sanjit Kumar Saha, Author ; A. P. Regmi, Author ; S. Marahatta, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 77-82 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Site specific nutrient management, wheat productivity, fertilizer, micro-nutrient Abstract: Low and unbalanced fertilizer application rate are the major factors contributing to the poor yield of wheat in Nepal. The Site
Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) provides the field specific recommendations in a cost effective and precise manner.
A field experiment was done at National Wheat Research Program (NWRP), Bhairahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal during 2019-
20 to evaluate the site specific nutrient management approaches in order to enhance wheat productivity. The SSNM dose
was determined at NWRP by using omission plot techniques. The calculated SSNM dose (148:65:71 N: P2

O kg ha-1),
was compared with SSNM + Zn + B, (148:65:71:5:1 N: P2

O Zn : B kg ha-1), Research recommended dose (RRD,

O5
:K2
O kg ha-1) in a RCB design with four
replications. The data on growth, yield attributes and yield were collected and analyzed using Genstat Statistical package.
Results showed that research recommended dose (RRD) along with SSNM dose and SSNM +Zn +B were statistically similar
(p>0.05), but these treatments were comparatively superior over rest of the treatments for yield attributes and yield. Hence
it can be concluded that wheat yield can be improved through adoption of SSNM and RRD of fertilizers at Bhairahawa

Title : Diversity and marketing of dried fish products in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: N. Pradhan, Author ; M. K. Shrestha, Author ; S. Rai, Author ; D. K. Jha, Author ; Sanjit Kumar Saha, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: 139-152 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Sun-dried, smoked, consumer’s preference, market channels Abstract: Various dried fish products are available in Nepalese markets. The information on diversity and
marketing system of dried fish products in the country is scanty. Survey on dried fish was carried
out in 19 districts to elucidate the species diversity, market channels and consumer’s preference
of dried fish. Exotic species such as Harpodon nehereus, Penaeus spp., Stolephorus spp. imported
from several Asian countries shares approximately 70 percent of the dried fish market of the country.
The dried fish products available in the market are in the form of sun-dried, smoked, spicy instant
fish and fish pickle. Marketing system of dried fish varies for indigenous captured fish, cultured fish
and imported fish. Price of dried fish varied greatly being high in rainy season associated with short
supply and increased demand, and relatively low during winter months because of excess supply.
Survey findings indicated that consumer’s preference on dried fish species is different with their
different believes, traditional knowledge and eco-region. However, quality of dried fish available
in market is a concernLink for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Diversity_and_marketing_of_dried_fish_pro [...]

[article]
Title : Ecological weed management practices and seed bed preparation in sub-humid condition of Chitwan, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Marahatta, Author ; P. Gyawali, Author ; Sanjit Kumar Saha, Author ; Theer Bahadur Karki, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: 89-101 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: hand weeding, sesbania co-culture, stale seed bed, weed index Abstract: The weeds are a major constraint of dry-direct seeded rice (DDSR) due to change in establishment methods and shifting weed flora towards competitive grasses and sedges. For optimizing the yield of DDSR through environmental friendly weed management practices, two field experiments were conducted during the monsoon season of 2014 on Chitwan, Nepal. First experiment was done
using a strip plot design to find the optimum seed rate and killing date of sesbania under ricesesbania co-culture whereas the second experiment was done by using a split plot to observe the efficiency of stale seed bed for weed control and to identify the best integrated weed management practice. The optimum seed rate of sesbania was 102 kg ha-1 and killing dates was 32 days. The sesbania co-culture with 100 kg ha-1 when killed at 28 days had produced significantly higher grain yield than sole Bispyribac Na application, and only 4.79% yield was loss than farmers’ practice of two hand weeding. In contrary to weed free, Pendimethalin followed by Bispyribac Na application and Pendimethalin followed by 2,4-D application produced statistically similar yield followed by sesbania co-culture with 100 kg seeds and killing at 28 days. During the monsoon rice, the
effectiveness of stale seed bed was not much greater (0.37%) than the normal seed bed.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Ecological_weed_management_practices_and_ [...]

Title : Effects of varieties and fertilizer levels on yield and economics of hybrid rice at Hardinath, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: U. Sah, Author ; Sanjit Kumar Saha, Author ; S. Marahatta, Author ; M. P. Neupane, Author Publication Date: 2022 Article on page: 157-163 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Yield, hybrid rice, benefit cost ratio Abstract: Hybrid rice has the potential to increase rice yield. Fertilizer requirement is higher to achieve higher productivity
in hybrid rice. A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of hybrid rice varieties at different
levels of fertilizer management. The experiment was conducted at research farm of National Rice Research
Program (NRRP), Hardinath, Dhanusha, Nepal during rainy season of 2018. The experimental plot was laid out
in a strip plot design with three replications. The treatment consisted of combination of six registered hybrid rice
namely Arize 6444, ArizeTejgold, Gorakhnath 509, Shanti, Sudha, US 312 and two high yielding checks viz.,
Sabitri and Hardinath 1; and three levels of fertilizer management viz., Farmers practices( 60-40-0 N, P2

kg ha-1), National recommended Dose (100-30-30 N, P2
O5, k2
O kg ha-1) and 125% of National recommended Dose
(125-40-40 N, P2
05, k2
0 kg ha-1). The result of research revealed that rice hybrid Sudha produced the highest grain
yield (5659 kg ha-1
) followed by US 312 (5153 kg ha-1).All the hybrids produced significantly higher yield than
improved check varieties. The yield increment in rice hybrids ranged from 17.7 to 42.0% and 54.9 to 119.9%
over Sabitri and Hardinath1 respectively. Higher gross return(Nrs 190.78 thousand ha-1 ), net return(Nrs 100.77
thousand ha-1 ) and benefit cost ratio of (2.11) was obtained in rice hybrid Sudha followed by US 312, Shanti
and Arize Tejgold. Similarly, higher gross return (NRs. 178.59 thousand ha-1), net return (84.59 thousand ha-1)
and benefit cost ratio (1.9) were found higher in 25% more fertilizer applied dose than National recommendation
dose. Therefore, all tested hybrid rice can produce higher grain yield and 25% higher dose of fertilizer was better
than national recommended dose for achieving higher yield and net income.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Effects_of_varieties_and_fertilizer_level [...]
