Introduction
As an Agriculture Bachelor's degree graduate, I have a solid background in soil science and sustainable farming methods. I have gained vital knowledge about crop management, agricultural practices, and environmental preservation as a result of my academic journey. Along with my studies, I have worked with local NGOs for a number of years, contributing to community-driven agricultural projects that promote sustainable practices and increase food security.

Role of FYM and Biochar with Residual Nutrients on Soil Health and Mungbean Yield in Rupandehi, Nepal
Thesis
Full-text available
Land degradation, depletion of SOM, decline in soil fertility, and reduction in the use of organic amendments represent emerging threat to soil health in the western Terai of Nepal. This study investigated the impact of farmyard manure (FYM) and biochar on soil health and mungbean (Vigna radiata) yield in Rupandehi, Nepal, using residual nutrients...
Research Proposal
Full-text available
This study is carried out to evaluate the effects of FYM and biochar with residual nutrients on the growth performance of mungbean, aiming to enhance soil health through increased SOM.

Research Proposal
Full-text available
Many neglected and underutilized species ignored by researchers are also appreciated by local populations. In Modi municipality, such a research program has not been conducted. Home garden is a neglected hotspot of agrobiodiversity. Generally, small landholder farmers plant tree species that are easily available or freely distributed by different o...

Chapter
Full-text available
The productivity of a crop is influenced not only by its gene but also by the microclimate around it. The components of crop microclimate are temperature, light intensity, humidity, air circulations, soil moisture, electrical conductivity, pH, solar radiation, etc. In open fields, only manipulation of nature of the root medium by tillage, irrig...

Questions (19)
Question
Poor soil management contribution to air pollution
Poor agricultural management role to air pollution
Question
Can we reverse climate change using soil conservation practices? What soil amendments are athe most effective for storing carbon?
Question
Since TOC analyzer is very expensive to install and we already muffle furnace available here. Chemical evaluation like Walkley and Black methods are time consuming, and the resulting data are not reliable though.
Question
How does the above items impact the goal towards net zero emissions? What might be the role of the emerging scientists, leaders and professionals for achieving sustainability in agriculture sector? What are the policy loopholes that high polluting industries are still doing the same levels of pollutions although facing sanctions against carbon emissions? What consumers can do to reduce emissions from agricultural sector: Is it by consuming low processed foods or eating less?
What are the potentials of these emerging concepts like Carbon farming, Biochar and agroforestry in achieving sustainability?

Question
Is Walkley and Black method is the only method that is universally accepted to measure SOC evaluation? Are there any other methods that determines the SOC content with minimal errors?
Question
How to complete literature review fast without using AI tools and with no plagiarism?
Why it's hard to get citations? How can we get articles that we can cite fast?
Question
hand weeding is time consuming, costly and other mechanical weeding practices are not available here. I am seeking for effect of selective herbicides on root nodulation in mung bean farming.
suggest some herbicides that have minimal or no effects on root nodulation in mung beans
Question
I am a researcher of Soil science department. 5 months ago I had planted wheat for my research. The research design was split plot design. it has 3 replications, each replication has 2 main plot treatment: Farm yard manure @20t/ha and Biochar @ 20t/ha, and each main plot had 5 treatments:
T1: no N fertilizer,
T2: 100% recommended dose of Prilled urea
T3: 50% recommended dose of Prilled urea
T4: 100% recommended dose of Neem coated urea
T5: 50% recommended dose of Neem Coated Urea
after harvesting of wheat crops, there were wheat crop stubbles left 20 cm above the ground level. The wheat crop residues were not removed and incorporated in the soil after harvesting in April 12. Now in April 20 I had planted Mungbean in the same research trial, and no external fertilizers are used and is grown under residual nutrients of previous planting. The temperature here is 42 degree celcius during sowing of mungbean. I had been thinking to use mungbean as a green manure to increase soil fertility and ground cover in irrigated condition.

The temperature here is 40 degree celcius during sowing of mungbean. I had been thinking to use mungbean as a green manure to increase soil fertility and ground cover in irrigated condition. analysing this prepare suitable research topics that best suits for my research trial.
now after 10 days of sowing there is not enough seedling emergence and i have few seeds remaining that cannot cover all research plots homogenously. i have to take data of biomass of 1m2 from each plot and my re,aining seeds can cover 1m2 area only of each plot out of 12 m2. can i sow seedds to 1 m2 only for the plots that havenot germinated enough seedlings.
Question
Day temp. Above 40 degrees, low RH below 13%, high wind speed of 50km/hr, in clayey soil, over irrigation causes crusting which affects germination, thus flooding can't be done.
Question
Pre sowing irrigation was applied, irrigation after 2 days of sowing in clayey soils of terai region of Nepal 🇳🇵,very low RH, hugh wind speed and day temperature avove 40 degree celcius and heat waves 2 days after sowing of the crop.
Question
relation of different global temperatures in survival of plant pathogens
Question
Can anyone say what crop might best suit as a cover crop after harvesting of wheat here at Bhairahawa, Lumbini, Nepal, where average day temperature during germination might go up as high as 40 degree celsius? What crop might accumulate most biomass at 2 months duration?
