Each replication included denoted as follows: T1 (Control), T2 (Borax @10 kg/ha), T3 (Ammonium Molybdate @1 T4 kg/ha + Ammonium T5 kg @2 T6 @20 T7 representing different...

Despite the considerable potential for spring rice production in Bardiya District, average yield remains below national average. Various factors affect production, with seedling age and spacing being significant determinants of productivity. The utilization older seedlings improper often lead to decreased yields transplanted systems. Therefore, this study aimed identify optimal planting Spring cultivars (Chaite-5) A field experiment was conducted evaluate performance (var. Chaite-5) grown...

An experiment was conducted at IAAS, Lamjung to evaluate the management practices of Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) during Rabi season in 2013/14. Field laid out a randomized block desigh (RCBD) with four replications and six treatments. The treatments were: i) Verticillilum lecanii @ 5gm/L water; ii) Derisom (Karinjin) 2ml/L iii) Margosom (Azadirachtin) 5ml/L iv) Lemon grass oil v) Dimethoate (Rogor) @2ml/L vi) Untreated control. Each plot consisted 2 m x 2.7 (5.4 m2) 360 plants (spacing RR 30 cm...

The climate change discourse has been evolving globally, and it generated new ideas, debates interests within the community of experts in local context too. People’s perceptions are critical components socio-cultural which people societal system operate. perception can compel or constrain social, economic cultural political action to address particular risks liable great influence. Present study is contemplated construct a measuring tool elucidate people’s about variability, causes, effect...

Despite possessing considerable prospective for wheat cultivation, productivity in Kanchanpur remains lower compared to that of neighboring districts like Kailali, Banke, Kapilbastu, and Rupendehi which share similar meteorological conditions. The primary objective this study is investigate the influential variables affecting production determine associated challenges inherent cultivation within area district. Given substantial prospects farming geographic region, district was purposively...

Drought stress remains a major environmental factor which decreases the yield and productivity of most cereals growing worldwide. The research was carried out to assess correlation path coefficient among 20 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes. treatments under drought conditions affected all agronomic traits, genotypes showed significant difference. However, results from ambient tunnel were satisfactory, some interesting observations made. present experiment undertaken estimate...

Citrus cultivation in Nepal faces a persistent decline due to the widespread prevalence of Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as Greening Disease, across citrus-growing regions. This has resulted significant economic losses for farmers, prompting them actively seek preventive and remedial measures. In study conducted at Resunga Municipality Dhurkot Rural Municipality, Gulmi, aimed addressing this decline, 51 orchards were assessed HLB using starch iodine test. Concurrently, efficacy...

The recovery percentages and out-turns of diverse coffee cultivars are contingent upon distinct processing methods fruit characteristics. Despite the availability numerous varieties, their remain untested in Gulmi District Nepal. This study aimed to assess percentage different varieties provide insights into most productive for local farmers, investigate influence techniques on percentage, evaluate potential improving through optimized agricultural practices, harvesting methods, post-harvest...

Electric bicycles (e-bikes) are gaining global popularity as part of the broader shift towards electric vehicles (EVs). This research presents a regenerative bicycle designed to maximize energy efficiency, aiming for top speed 45 km/h and range 50 km. The incorporates two key recovery systems: downhill system that captures braking converts it into electricity, pedal charging pedaling kinetic recharge battery. A digital signal processing seamlessly switches between drive based on rider input....

Wheat is the third most important cereal crop in Nepal. The area and production of wheat Nepal has been increased dramatically after introduction semi dwarf varieties now it significant contribution to national food supply. aim evaluating twenty elite genotypes under combined heat stress condition field research was conducted using alpha lattice design at Bhairahawa, limiting factor irrigation stress. Heat critical that directly affect grain yield productivity crop. Drought significantly...

The Koshi river is one of the most dynamic rivers in world. It has shifted about 115 km westward due to sedimentation and tectonic activities during past 200 years. Dynamic nature revealed by its erosive high capacity carrying silt sand from highlands. Disaster floods are frequent this channel because encroachment watershed, denudation rate, torrential rainfall upland as well poor design manmade structures along channel. 2008 flood catastrophic events last decade. In flood, millions people...
