The excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have caused several negative impacts on the environment and human health. They degrade soil fertility, build up resistance on pathogens, inhibit microbial activities and also enhance greenhouse gas emission. It is impossible and inappropriate to control plant pathogens by using chemical pesti...
Horti-tourism is one of the newest forms of agro-tourism in Nepal which precisely relates horticultural development with tourism. Different works of literature were thoroughly studied and SWOC analysis was done to reveal the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of horti-tourism in Nepal. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, horticulture an...
Jassid (Amarasca biguttula bigutula) is one of the most serious pests of Okra. It sucks the sap from underside of leaves and causes upward curling along the margin ultimately reducing the yield. An experiment was conducted in research field of Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) in 2019 to analyze the efficacy of different botanical and chemi...
Strawberry production has increased by more than double in the past two decades. Meanwhile, it is also susceptible to various diseases which have become a limiting factor in its yield increment. Indiscriminate use of chemicals in the management of diseases has brought several adverse effects to the environment and human health. Thus, this review ai...
Field experiment was conducted from March to July 2022 to identify the eco-friendly management of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) by using different soil amendments. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatments viz., mustard oil cake at 1.41 kg...
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the varietal resistance of cabbage against club root disease, Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, in a naturally infested field in Sindhuwa, Dhankuta. It was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) of three replications and seven treatments, viz., T1: Green Coronet, T2: Nepa Green 777, T3: B...
Common bean rust (Uromyces appendiculatus) is a widespread disease that causes significant yield loss. A field experiment was laid out in a two-factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications to analyze the infection patterns of the rust on common beans. The two factors were the day of spray of fungicides: 4 days after ino...
A field experiment was conducted to test the efficacy of different management practices and fungicide application timings for common bean rust management in Chitwan, Nepal. It was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two factors: management practices (Azoxystrobin, Trichoderma viride, maize intercropping + Trichoderma viride,...
Weeds are the major burden for rice-growing farmers in the case of direct-seeded rice due to the preemptive competition of weed in the species early seedling stage. A field experiment was carried out during the spring season in 2021 to evaluate the effect of different weed management practices and row spacing on dry directed-seeded spring rice unde...
There is a difference of 45% to 55% between the attainable yield and the potential yield of rice. This gap may be due to insufficient inputs and poor mechanization status. In this regard, agricultural mechanization is of the utmost importance to obtain satisfactory yield. This study was conducted to determine mechanization level, power per unit are...
Vegetable farming beyond the regular cropping calendar when supply is low and prices are high increases consumers range of choices and enhance profit. Nepal offers favourable potential for off-season vegetable production. However, inadequate approach to market and seasonal fluctuation of available vegetable creates difficulties in commercialization...
Tharu are living in the fertile Terai belt of Nepal however self-sufficiency in crop production is not observed. Rapid urbanization and trade after the construction of the East west highway and establishment of CNP led to tourism flourishment. This proved beneficial to the immigrants but degraded the agricultural status of Tharu. The Survey researc...
Food security is one of the major global challenges of the twenty-first century. World population is expected to increase by one-third, between 2009 and 2050, and in Asia, crop yield is estimated to decline by 5 to 30% from 2050 onwards compared to 1990. It is high time to seek alternatives that can increase production utilizing existing resources...

About 70-80% losses in agricultural production due to microbial disease is caused by fungal pathogens. There are around 8,000 fungal species that cause 100,000 diseases in plants. It is impossible to control such a large species of fungi with chemical fungicides alone. Even if it is made possible, it would bring negative impacts to the environment...
Fall armyworm has been recently introduced to Nepal. In a very less time, the invasive pest has rapidly spread throughout the country causing 21% of yield loss in the total production of maize. It has the potential to attack all the crop stages of maize. If the effect of fall armyworm is neglected, it can result in the loss of 53% in the total prod...

Global rice production has revealed signs that it may no longer be stable in the future. Along with the increasing population, the resources for rice production are declining. Moreover, water needs labor force for transplanting rice has become insufficient because laborers are shifting from agriculture to industry, public works, and overseas job. I...

I've seen this journal listed in the predatory journal list. But it has been included in the library of Purdue University, Indiana University, and also has impact factor of 3.1. I need confirmation on this issue.
The journal should be related to agricultural science.
I want to culture this fungus for the inoculation in my research field of brinjal.
You can mention if there are related research articles.
I need to extract alkaloids which have antifungal properties.
The components constituting agroforestry depend on our culture and the way of living. I need more explanations.
