Effect of foliar application of different nutrients on growth, yield, and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Sankhu, Kathmandu, Nepal / A. Duwadi in Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University, Volume 5 (2022)
[article]
Title : Effect of foliar application of different nutrients on growth, yield, and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Sankhu, Kathmandu, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: A. Duwadi, Author ; Shrestha; A.K., Author ; D. P. Pudasaini, Author Publication Date: 2022 Article on page: 61-69 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Deficiency, management, minerals, potato Abstract: A study was conducted from January to June 2021 in the farmer’s field at Shankharapur-7, Sankhu, Kathmandu,
Nepal to assess the effectiveness of the foliar application of different nutrients for potato production. The field
experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with six treatments, T1
: zinc at 560 ppm, T2
:
magnesium at 0.4 %, T3
: boron at 100 ppm, T4
: calcium at 0.8 %, T5
: copper at 1 %, and T6
: control and were
replicated four times. The chemicals were sprayed 30 and 40 days after planting until runoff. The highest tuber
yield was obtained with the application of calcium at 0.8 % (38.57 Mtha-1) while the lowest marketable tuber yield
was obtained with copper at 1 %. The highest calcium and zinc content in potato tuber was observed with the
application of calcium at 0.8 % and zinc at 560 ppm respectively. Likewise, the application of zinc increased the
protein percentage in tuber by 23 % compared to the control. Thus, it can be concluded that the foliar application
of calcium at 0.8 % is the most economical resulting in the highest plant growth, yield, and producing the best
quality potatoes under the climatic condition of Sankhu, Nepal.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Effect_of_foliar_application_of_different [...]

Title : Effects of foliar application of urea and micronutrients on yield and fruit quality of Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) Material Type: printed text Authors: P. R. Rokaya, Author ; D. R. Baral, Author ; D. M. Gautam, Author ; Shrestha; A.K., Author ; K. P. Paudyal, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 63-68 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Fruit industry, management, minerals, ascorbic acid Abstract: Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) occupies a prominent position in the total fruit industry of Nepal. However, production
performance of mandarin has been declined over the last ten years, mainly due to improper nutrient management practices,
and has remained as low as 9 t per hectare. This study was done to analyze the effect of foliar application of urea and
micronutrients on yield and quality of mandarin. Accordingly, an experiment was done using a Randomized Complete
Block design, having four treatments, each replicated four times viz: T1
-control, T2
-urea 2%, T3
-micronutrient (Agromin)
0.4%, and, T4
-urea 2%+micronutrient (Agromin) 0.4%). Spraying of urea, or Agromin alone, or, in combination had a
significantly (p and most of the minerals whereas combined application of urea at 2% and micronutrients (Agromin) at 0.4% had further
better performance on these parameters compared to the rest. Thus, two times foliar application of urea alone, and, or in
combination with micronutrients could be an effective practice in getting the maximum productivity as well as the fruit
quality of mandarin.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/7._Effects_of_foliar_application_of_urea_ [...]

Title : In the search of end products of commercially important medicinal plants: A case study of yarsagumba (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) and bish (Aconitum spicatum) Material Type: printed text Authors: Gandhiv Kafle, Author ; I. (Sharma) Bhattarai, Author ; M. Siwakoti, Author ; Shrestha; A.K., Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: 231-239 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: : medicinal plant, herbal manufacturing industries, end products, Nepal Abstract: Knowledge of end products of medicinal plants and their consumption can be useful for predicting
future demand and planning for sustainable harvesting. In this context, a survey was carried out
in July 2016 to March 2017 in Nepal and India to explore the industrial demand of commercially
important medicinal plants such as Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora, Ophiocordyceps sinensis and
Aconitum spicatum, their end products and uses. This paper presents case studies of Ophiocordyceps
sinensis and Aconitum spicatum. The study findings showed that four industries processed 10 kg O.
sinensis in a year (2015/016), and produced four types of end products such as Ayurvedic tonic, food
supplement, alcoholic beverage and sex stimulant tea. No industry was found processing A. spicatum
in Nepal. The end products containing O. sinensis were reported having multiple benefits to human
body including enhancing immunity power, boosting stamina, inducing relaxation, providing energy
and mental freshness and healing a number of health disorders. The domestic industrial consumption
of O. sinensis was found insignificant in comparison to its harvested volume in trade, and should
not be considered a major threat to this species. Diversification of end products of O. sinensis is
recommended to contribute to national economy while promoting consumer healthcare in Nepal.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/In_the_search_of_end_products_of_commerci [...]
