“…Higher number of effective tillers m -2 in mulched crop was probably due to soil moisture conservation, weed suppression and organic matter addition in the soil. Similar finding was also reported by Ranjit et al (2009). Number of grains per spike is one of the most crucial yield determining components and has directly related to the grain yield of wheat.…”

A field experiment was carried out to assess the growth and productivity of wheat as influenced by the tillage methods, mulch and graded nitrogen levels at the Agronomy Farm of Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur during winter season of 2015/2016. The experiment was laid out in strip split plot design comprising tillage methods (zero tillage and conventional tillage) and mulch (mulch and no mulch) as horizontal and vertical factors, respectively and nitrogen levels as sub-sub plot factor (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N ha -1 ). The highest grain yield (3.58 t ha -1 ) was obtained with 100 kg ha -1 N followed by 150 kg ha -1 N (3.45 t ha -1 ), 50 kg ha -1 N (3.14 t ha -1 ) kg ha -1 N and 0 kg ha -1 N (1.91 t ha -1 ). Grain yield (2.95 t ha -1 ) under zero tillage was similar to conventional tillage (3

“…Similarly, significantly taller plant height was observed in mulch plots than non-mulched plots. Dahal et al (2013) and Ranjit et al (2014) also reported positive effect of mulch on plant height due to favourable growing condition. Highest LAI at 60 DAS was produced in 5 th December which was statistically at par with 20 th November and significantly higher than 20 th December.…”

Intensive tillage with no crop residue after rice harvest in conventional wheat cultivation increases the turn around time, delays sowing and affects the yield. A field experiment was carried out to assess the effect of sowing dates, establishment methods and mulching and their interaction on growth, productivity and profitability of spring wheat at agronomy farm of AFU, Rampur Chitwan, Nepal from November 2020 to April 2021. The experiment was laid out in strip-split plot design, with three dates of sowing (20th November, 5th December and 20th December) in vertical plots, two establishment methods (Zero tillage and Conventional tillage) in horizontal plots and two levels of mulching (0 t ha-1 and 5 t ha-1 of rice straw mulch) in sub-plots and replicated thrice with Vijay as test variety. Data regarding the phenology, growth parameters, yield attributes and yield were recorded, analyzed and presented. The research results revealed that date of sowing and mulching significantly influenced phenology, growth, yield attributes, yield and their interactions. The higher grain yield was obtained in 5th December as well as 20th November sowing in conventional tillage with mulch (4511.49 & 4492.12 kg ha-1 respectively). These grain yields were statistically at par with 5th December and 20th November sowing in zero tillage with mulch (4363.74 & 4129.97 kg ha-1 respectively). Net return and B:C ratio were significantly higher on 5th December and 20th November sowing with mulch in zero tillage than 20th December sowing in conventional tillage without mulch. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 10(4): 237-244.

Nepal is a geographically, ecologically, bio-culturally and ethnically diverse country. Cannabis has been a flora, used in various forms and ways and its effect has been variably a matter of concern in Nepal. Perception to its use has also been changing with time with the dynamics of various factors and trends around and in the world. The views of its proponents at times appear with relatively more powerful influence among people though the views of the opponents seem less, and relatively less influential. Proponents advocate for its legalization with highlights of its different uses and benefits whereas opponents, mainly mental health professionals point out sporadically its adverse consequences, mainly in psychological health. The purpose of this review is to explore the existing literature regarding cannabis use and abuse in Nepal. Search for articles for this review was performed in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Nepal Journal Online. We summarize and discuss about cannabis in various aspects in the Nepalese context. The overarching objective is to reflect upon the ongoing debate regarding its harm and benefits, thereby upon the issue of its legalization in Nepal.
