Review Article on Status of Soybean Production in Nepal

Abstract

Soybean is the major oilseed crop cultivated during Kharif season in most of the areas of our country. Soybean are high in protein and a decent source of both carbs and fat. They are a rich source of various vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds such as isoflavones. This short review article analyses the previous works and studies about production of soybean and reason for decrease in production of soybean. Long time research work which was conducted in several locations has shown that various reason like biotic stresses, diseases, insect pests, weeds and many more. So, this article highlights about the status of production of soybean and provides necessary adoption for enhancing productivity of soybean.

Exploring the Potential of Curry Leaves for their Therapeutic Action

“…For skin whitening, brightening and moisturizing rough skin, lotion and other formulations containing the essential oils from leaves may be utilized. Additionally, curry leaf oil may be useful for treating skin conditions like athlete's foot, boils, acne, pimple, itching, and ringworm [7] [8]. More research is required to determine the curry leaves' beneficial benefits on preserving skin health.…”

Evaluation of the growth and yield characteristics of various genotypes of the soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]

“…Based on the combined data it clearly indicates that LS-22-16-16 and G-4508 are best genotype for release a variety for the benefit of the mid-hill based farmers. Manandhar (2021) reported that LS-77-16-16, Karver local, F-778817, TGX-311-23D and IARS-871, IangBeakong, G 4504 and G 1871 were promising genotypes that can be used for formers general cultivation purposes. Similar type of result was also reported by Pokhrel et al (2021) who found that SBO-115 (1912…”

“…The major cause behind the low productivity of this crop might be poor crop management practices and a lack of high-yielding promising varieties (Manandhar, 2021). Other reasons are that this crop is grown as an intercrop and therefore does not receive much attention for its proper care and management.…”

Effect of Moisture on Seedling Stage of Soybean (Glycine Max)

“…Glycine max, commonly known as soybean, is a widely cultivated legume species native to East Asia. It has been domesticated and cultivated for its edible bean, which has numerous uses such as soy milk, soy sauce, fermented bean paste, and tofu (Manandhar, 2021). Soybean is not only an important source of oil and protein worldwide but also contains vitamins B, C, and E, minerals, and dietary fibers.…”
