A field experiment was conducted at Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal at farmer's field in 2011 winter season to evaluate the nitrogen efficiency of cattle urine and FYM on soil properties, nitrogen uptake and yield of broccoli cv. Calabrese. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with eight treatments: N0, N100kg/ha by urine with soil application, N150kg/ha by urine by soil application, N100kg/ha by FYM, N150kg/ha by FYM, N50kg/ha by urine by foliar application, N100kg/ha by urine by foliar application and N150kg/ha by foliar application with three replications. The results of the field experiment revealed that the highest pH (6.1) was given by N150kg/ha Urine by soil application. The treatment N50kg/ha by urine by foliar application gave the highest potassium 242 kg/ha which was significantly higher than the lowest 187 kg/ha from N0. N150kg/ha by foliar application gave the highest soil organic matter 5.43%, the nitrogen 0.31% significantly higher to the lowest 0.07% from N and phosphorus 147kg/ha 0 significantly higher than the lowest. N150 kg/ha through urine by foliar application also gave the biological yield 36.7 t/ha which was significantly higher than the lowest 25.5t/ha from N0 and significantly higher curd yield 19.05 t/ha to the lowest 11.2 t/ha.

A field experiment was conducted during spring 2020-21 at Wetland farms of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to study the effect of foliar Nanonutrients (N, Zn and Cu) application on the yield and nutrient uptake by rice at harvest. Twelve treatments with three replications were laid out in randomized complete block design. The results revealed that application of 100% NPK + Nano N at active tillering (T3) and 75% N + 100% PK + Nano N at active tillering (T4) increased the grain yield (5112 and 5063 kg ha-1) and N uptake (106.48 and 89.51 kg ha-1) of rice, respectively and was on par with 100% NPK + Nano Zn at active tillering and panicle emergence (T10). However, significantly higher Zn and Cu uptake were recorded in 100% NPK + Nano Zn at active tillering and panicle emergence (T10, 457.61 g ha-1) and 100% NPK + Nano Cu at active tillering and panicle emergence (T12, 92.36 g ha-1), respectively which was followed by 100% NPK + Nano N at active tillering (T3, 372.45 and 81.51 g ha-1) and 75% N + 100% PK + Nano N at active tillering (T4, 355.41 and 84.13 g ha-1). Thus, it can be concluded that application of foliar Nano N at active tillering along with soil application of either 100% NPK or 75% N + 100% PK can provide better results in terms of grain yield and nutrient uptake.

Nepalese yellow maize inbred lines were characterized for general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) of their crosses and parents were identified having high combining ability for determining the heterotic effects on yield and other quantitative traits of hybrids. A line x tester mating design was used for making the crosses in the winter season of 2008 and the hybrids along with their parents and four checks were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications in the spring season of 2009 at the experimental farm of the National Maize Research Program, Chitwan. Significant variations were found among the treatments for grain yield and other traits which indicated presence of high magnitude of genetic variations among tested inbred lines. The cross between RML-32 and RML-17 produced the highest grain yield (15870 kg/ha) among the crosses. Hybrids such as RL-194 x RL-84 (10770 kg/ha), RML-21 x RML-17 (9270 kg/ha), RL-180 x RML-17 (9270 kg/ha) and L-1 x RL-84 (8785 kg/ha) were found superior grain yielder. Thirty-nine hybrids showed positive mid-parent heterosis for grain yield among 40 crosses. The highest positive mid-parent heterosis for grain yield was found 880% in cross between RML-32 and RML-17, followed by RL-98X RML-17 (507%), RL-103 x RML-17 (403%), PUTU-18 x RML- 17 (351%) and RL-180 x RL 84 (316%).
