Assessment of site specific nutrient management on the productivity of wheat at Bhairahawa, Nepal / M. Yadav in Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University, Volume 4 (2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Agriculture and Forestry University > Volume 4 (2020) . - 77-82 p. 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 O5 :K2 O kg ha-1), was compared with SSNM + Zn + B, (148:65:71:5:1 N: P2 O5 :K2 O Zn : B kg ha-1), Research recommended dose (RRD, 150:50:50 N: P2 O5 :K2 O kg ha-1); National recommended dose (NRD, 100:50:25 N: P2 O5 :K2 O kg ha-1), Nutrients expert dose (NED,110:50:73 N: P2 O5 :K2 O kg ha-1), and farmers dose (FD, 80: 40:15 N: P2 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 condition.

Comparative economics of maize grain and seed production in Okhaldhunga, Nepal / P. R. Dulal in Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University, Volume 4 (2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Agriculture and Forestry University > Volume 4 (2020) . - 129-132 p. Title : Comparative economics of maize grain and seed production in Okhaldhunga, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: P. R. Dulal, Author ; S. Marahatta, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 129-132 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize seed, economics, production problems, grain Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation is very popular in Nepal. Basically, in the rural hills of Nepal such as Okhaldhunga, it dominates any other crop production. This study was done to for a comparative assessment of economics, marketing, and to identify major problems of maize seed and grain production in hilly eastern district of Okhaldhunga during June of 2017. The data were obtained by the interview of 66 purposively selected producers (33 each of maize grain and seed producers) with the use of pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Both the grain and seed producers were similar in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and marketing accessibilities, but the seed producers were significantly benefited from the trainings, extension services, and credit facilities despite having comparatively small size of land holding (0.14 ha) than the grain producers. The inputs (manures, fertilizers, and the seed) contributed 48% and 50% of the total cost incurred for grain and seed production, respectively whereas the pre-sowing and sowing activities contributed more than 77% of cost in both the cases. In spite of higher cost for seed production, the benefit cost ratio of seed production was higher (1.52) than grain production (1.13). Findings also revealed that only 24% of the total harvest was processed and marketed as seed whereas using optimum quantity (66% middle portion of the cob) for seed production could further increase the income by 23.35%. The major production problems were scarce farm labor followed by lack of infrastructures, while low seasonal price followed by low volume of production ranked the first and second most important marketing related problems. Subsidies on the agri-inputs, timely availability of inputs, and encouragement of the youth towards agri-enterprise via various youth oriented programs can be done to overcome these problems.

Ecological weed management practices and seed bed preparation in sub-humid condition of Chitwan, Nepal / S. Marahatta in Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University, Volume 1 (2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Agriculture and Forestry University > Volume 1 (2017) . - 89-101 p. 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.
