Potato is a staple food crop in high hills and mountains and a major vegetable throughout the country and one of the most important cash generating crops in Nepal. With the efforts undertaken by research and extension sectors, its productivity has significantly increased in last twenty years. However, this is not sufficient for increasing population of the country. Considering its potentiality for income, employment, industrial products, export and processing, appropriate technologies are urgent.Soil fertility evaluation is the most basic decision making tool for the sustainable soil nutrient management. Soil fertility studies and mapping is an effective way to diagnose soil status and recommend as per the need of the nutrient to particular crop in the area. This research aims to assess and prepare soil nutrient map of potato super zone, Kavrepalanchowk in Nepal. The specific objectives of the research were to assess soil texture, pH and organic matter status and simultaneously prepare soil fertility map of the potato super zone. A total of 202 soil samples were collected and nutrients were analyzed using standard procedure in the soil laboratory. Composite soil samples were collected from 6 to 10 different spots of the area at 0-20 cm depth by using soil auger. The GPS location of each soil sampling point was noted. The soil sampling point of each zone was determined by studying various aspects (area, slope, colour, texture, etc.) of the study area. Based on the nutrient status, nutrient maps were prepared and presented. Soil fertility maps were prepared by observing the critical nutrients required for the specific crops and by giving those nutrients certain ranking based on the nutrients role for the crop. The soil of Potato super zone was mostly found to be silty loam, moderately acidic (pH 5.9), medium in organic matter content (2.67%) and total nitrogen (0.13%), high in available phosphorus content (56 kg/ha) and available potassium (356kg/ha). There is also sandy loam, loam and silty clay loam types of soil in the area. Soil fertility maps were prepared by setting criteria based on nutrient status that were tested in the laboratory and on the basis of nutrients that are critical for each crops of the super zones. Vegetable super zone soil was found having medium (50%) and high (30%) fertility status. Based on the soil analysis report, it could be concluded that the soils of potato super zone is fair enough for cultivating potato crop at the moment.

Zn availability mostly regulated through adsorption-desorption on soil (or adsorbent). Fly ash (FA) application influence on zinc adsorption-desorption in recommended chemical fertilizer (RDF) and farmyard manure (FYM) treatments of acidic Inceptisols of Assam. Zinc adsorption was better explained by Freundlich over the Langmuir adsorption equation. Adsorption was greatest in the treatment receiving FA only at 15 t ha−1 and least in the treatment receiving RDF 50 percent + FYM 5 t ha−1 + FA 5 t ha−1. Ni and Zn co-sorption to aluminium oxides (γ-Al2O3) in binary-sorbate systems were compared to their sorptionin single-sorbate systems as a function of pH using both macroscopic batch experiments and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy At pH 6.0, Ni and Zn were sorbed as inner-sphere surface complexes and competed for the limited number of reactive sites on γ-Al2O3.In binary-sorbate systems, Ni had no effect on Zn sorption, owning to its lower affinity for the metal oxide surface. In contrast, Zn had a higher affinity for the metal oxide surface and reduced Ni sorption. The influence of P on the Zn adsorption capacity of eight surface horizons in soils on granite and amphibolites materials. The presence of P, especially at high concentrations, was found to boost Zn adsorption. The effect was more marked in the soils on amphibolite, which contained increased concentrations of Fe and Al oxides relative to those on granite. The increased adsorption of zinc by effect of the presence of phosphate is ascribed primarily to the formation of a P–Zn complex in colloid surfaces.Studies should be undertaken while considering adsorption and desorption capacities of Zn for soils as well as ionic interactions for better Zn management in soils.
锌的有效性主要通过土壤(或吸附剂)的吸附-解吸来调节。粉煤灰(FA)对阿萨姆邦酸性土壤推荐化肥和农家肥锌吸附解吸的影响用Freundlich方程比Langmuir吸附方程更好地解释了锌的吸附。吸附量在FA浓度为15 t ha - 1的处理中最大，而在RDF浓度为50% + fym5 t ha - 1 + FA 5 t ha - 1的处理中吸附量最小。采用宏观批量实验和基于同步辐射的x射线吸收精细结构光谱，比较了Ni和Zn在双山梨酸体系中与单山梨酸体系中对铝氧化物(γ-Al2O3)的共吸附随pH的变化规律。在pH 6.0时，Ni和Zn作为球内表面配合物被吸附，并竞争γ-Al2O3上有限的反应位点。在二元山梨酸体系中，由于Ni对金属氧化物表面的亲和力较低，对Zn的吸附没有影响。相比之下，Zn对金属氧化物表面具有更高的亲和力，并减少了Ni的吸附。磷对花岗岩和角闪岩材料土壤8层表层Zn吸附能力的影响。磷的存在，特别是高浓度磷的存在，可以促进锌的吸附。这种影响在角闪岩土壤中更为明显，相对于花岗岩，角闪岩土壤中铁和铝的氧化物浓度更高。由于磷酸盐的存在，锌的吸附增加主要归因于在胶体表面形成P-Zn络合物。研究应同时考虑土壤对锌的吸附和解吸能力以及离子相互作用，以便更好地管理土壤中的锌。

Eclipta prostata L. commonly known as Bhringaraj is one of the most valuable and important medicinal herb. The whole plants are used in medicinal and cosmetic industries. But still it is considered as a wild weed due to lack of propagation technique. Vegetative propagation plays an important role for its commercial cultivation. The experiment on “Rooting behavior of stem cuttings of Eclipta prostata L. with varying concentrations of different plant hormones” was laid out under CRD design with 13 treatments and 3 replications at demonstration unit of KVK Tirap, Deomali, Arunachal Pradesh. From this experiment it could be concluded that IBA treated cuttings irrespective of concentration was the best for rooting in Eclipta prostata cuttings under climatic condition of Tirap . The highest percentage of rooting, number of roots, survivability percentage and minimum days to rooting were recorded in IBA 400 ppm, IBA 300 ppm, IBA 100 ppm and IBA 400 ppm treated cuttings respectively.

Alternaria brassicae (Berk.) Sacc. is the most common and destructive pathogen of a number of Brassica crops belong to family Brassicaceae. It has been reported from all the continent of the world and causes considerable losses in terms of quality and quantity of crop produce. The present investigation was undertaken in vitro, to know the effect of different nutrient media viz., Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), V-8 Juice Agar (V8JA), Richard’s Agar (RA), Czapeck’s Dox Agar (CDA) and Corn Meal Agar (CMA) on the growth of A. brassicae isolates collected from the different Brassica host crops i.e. Mustard, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Radish. These isolates were designated on the basis of their hosts as Acae M, Acae Cf, Acae Ca and Acae R, respectively. Radial growth of all isolates was observed after seven days of incubation. The result showed a marked variation in radial growth of A. brassicae isolates. However, maximum growths of all isolates were recorded in V-8 Juice Agar (V8JA) followed by Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) while the minimum growth of pathogen was observed in Corn Meal Agar (CMA).

The Kisan Credit Card scheme introduced in the year 1998 with the objective of fulfillment of credit requirement of the farmers in hassle-free manner for raising agricultural production. There has been tremendous increase in number of Kisan Credit Cards in the rural areas during the last five years. Keeping the importance of KCC, the present study was an attempt to assess utility of KCC as perceived by the farmers. The present investigation was carried out in Baghpat district of Utter Pradesh state with a sample of 120 farmers. The study revealed that the utilization of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) by the respondents was observed as maximum in the aspect i.e. increase in agricultural produce followed by increase in income, crop production activities, utilization of credit for vegetable production and allied activities and duration of utilizing credit. it was also found that Utilization of KCC was considerable low in the respect of the components as utilization for crop insurance, change in cropping pattern and diversified farming. The study suggests that Contingent planning for adverse climatic condition should be communicated to farmers well in advance. With a view to enhance the adoption of improved crop production technologies among the farmer’s awareness and training programmes should be conducted in the regard.

The study was conducted in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand. There are 9 blocks in Sahibganj district. Five blocks are selected for study, namely Sahibganj, Rajmahal, Barharwa, Taljhari and Udhwa. All these block cultivated paddy as a main crop. Using simple random sampling technique, twenty five farmers were selected from each of the five selected villages from each block, making total 125 respondents for the study. The study has clearly brought out that the major constraints perceived by farmers were technical constraints related to non availability of inputs at time, financial constraints related to high cost of inputs, and extension constraints related to lack of training on new production technology of paddy. In order to improve rice production and overcome the perceived constraints, rice growers suggested the construction and regular maintenance of adequate rice farming infrastructure, particularly those related to irrigation and drainage, improvement of extension system through training, demonstration, information through different channels), availability of inputs at reasonable price and the provision of crop insurance.

In present study an attempt has been made to evaluate the suitable probability distribution models for predicting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7-days annual maximum rainfall amounts based on 39 years (1964 to 2002) daily rainfall data. Three probability distribution models namely: Log Normal distribution, Log Pearson Type-III distribution and Gumbel distribution models were considered to evaluate their goodness of fit. The Weibull’s method was used for computation of observed rainfall values at1, 5, 20, 30, 50, 95 and 99 percent probability levels. The Log Pearson type –III distribution was found suitable for 1 and 2 days maximum annual rainfall, while Gumbel distribution was found to be the best for predicting 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7- days annual maximum rainfall amounts. The relationships between annual maximum rainfall and return periods were also developed. The non – linear relationships (i.e. logarithmic) were found to be most suitable for all the cases.
