ABSTRACT Legumes have various types of active constituents with disinfection and disease‐prevention properties. They are highly nutritious, providing carbohydrates, proteins, fibre, vitamins, copper, zinc, iron, magnesium phosphorus. free saturated fats cholesterol. The Fabaceae or Leguminosae is regarded as legume family, which includes a major group plant resources in the north‐western Himalayan region, primarily used food well medicine. term ‘Nutraceutical’ derived from two words...

Maize hybrids can increase production, bridge the yield gap, and boost up domestic production in Nepal. Three-way cross hybrid introduces an alternative to produce low cost seed for resource poor farmers. A study was performed identify promising yellow white maize developed by International Centre Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT), Mexico Rampur, Nineteen three-way with two checks seventeen one check were tested field experiments on 2017 2018. Treatments replicated twice α-lattice design each...

Prevailing vitamin A deficiency is a malnutrition repercussing retarded growth, weak immune system and night-blindness in human beings. Pro-vitamin enriched maize hybrids could be strategy for combating deficiency, mostly prevailing children women of Nepal. With the objective to investigate superior pro-vitamin ‘bio-fortified’ cultivars, twice replicated experiments were laid out α-lattice design over two consecutive growing seasons 2019 2019/20 at National Maize Research Program (NMRP),...

High atmospheric temperatures can reduce maize production in different parts of Asia. Heat stress is the major driving force behind need for varietal development that confers a heat tolerance trait (drought + tolerant) to hybrids. CIMMYT has developed heat-tolerant hybrids and deployed them market collaboration with NARS partners. This study was conducted estimate farmers’ willingness pay Terai region Nepal. A socioeconomic survey 404 randomly selected maize-growing households using...

A study was carried out to estimate and analyze the profitability resource use efficiency of lentil grain seed production in Nepal's terai inner regions. Using a pre-tested questionnaire, primary data information were collected from 300 producing farmers, categorized by local users, improved 100 farmers Kailali, Dang, Siraha districts. The revealed that B:C ratio higher (1.59) than (1.41). benefit both realized mainly due increased prices rather production. Return scale found be increasing...

A value chain approach is the most viable and pragmatic strategy to develop an effective, inclusive, competitive sustainable seed system for many crops globally. This study was conducted in Kailali, Dang Siraha districts of Terai Inner regions Nepal map thoroughly analyze lentil system. Primary data were collected through a household survey, key stakeholder interviews focus group discussions. Altogether, 300 grain-producing 100 seed-producing farmers selected study. Descriptive statistics,...

Abiotic stresses (drought, heat) are one of the major impediments to enhancing maize productivity marginal farmers in facet climate change. The present study attempts investigate impact heat-tolerant hybrid on yield and income Terai region Nepal. This uses cross-sectional farm household-level data collected August 2021 from a randomly selected sample 404 rural households. We used doubly robust inverse probability weighted regression adjustment method obtain reliable estimates. Adoption...

In Nepal, underutilized crops are the crop species which have high potential for food, nutrition, dietary and culinary diversification but less prioritized in formal research, education, extension development. Analysis of trend production trade helps to formulate prioritize governing policies development Nepal. Analyzing this need, This study aims reveal scenario major Nepal; mainly Finger millet, Buckwheat Barley over years. Secondary data collected from Food Agriculture Organization...

Malnutrition has been one of the major global health problems mainly in underdeveloped and developing world causing massive economic damage as well distressing human life. Deficiency useful micronutrients like vitamins minerals including low level availability better quality protein causes hidden hunger which can be alleviate with help genetic bio-fortification crops. Besides all challenges, biofortified maize crops along provitamin A Zn hold a great future to address malnutrition challenge...

Value chain approach is the most viable and pragmatic strategy for effective, inclusive, competitive sustainable seed system of many crops globally. This study was conducted in Kailali, Dang Siraha district Terai Inner regions Nepal to map thoroughly analyze value lentil system. Primary data were collected through household survey, key stakeholders’ interview focus group discussion. Altogether, 300 grain producing 100 farmers selected study. Descriptive statistics, mapping, stakeholder’s...

When the world's population rises, total crop production worldwide is not meeting rising food demand. Focus on developing high yielding single cross hybrids of maize that are resource-efficient under diverse soil and climatic conditions utmost for countries like Nepal. With aim exploring genetic reasons higher hybrid vigor maize, global importance addressing emerging issue needed productivity in Nepal to achieve self-sufficiency status, comprehensive review work was performed. Research...

The prevalence and drug resistance of the respiratory pathogens is increasing gradually in Nepal. However, their detail study rare western region Hence, this was carried out to know incidence antibiotic susceptibility profile obtained at a tertiary care center located Pokhara. 139 were isolated from 460 clinical samples included. Significant Gram-negative bacteria 94 (67.62%), followed by 28 (20.15%) Candida, Gram-positive isolates 17 (12.23%). growth rate significantly higher for sputum...

Oilseeds and oilseed products emerged during the 1990s as one of fastest growing components global United States agricultural trade, with developing countries accounting for most growth in both supply demand. Many including India have become principal source demand feed proteins edible oils. This paper explains impact national policies oilseed, oil related industries. It includes trade policies, industrial establishment best practices adoption into industry India. also covers marketing...
