Potato is one of the world’s fourth most important food crop after rice, wheat and corn. More than one billion people consume potatoes worldwide and it is the part of the diet of half a billion people in developing countries. In terms of area, India ranks third in the world after China and Russia and second in production after China. Afield experiment on effects of different fertilizer doses on yield and its attributes on potato was conducted during Rabi season for three consecutive years with an objective to prevent the indiscriminate use of fertilizers by the potato growers. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and 3 replications. The results revealed that potato treated with T2= 100% RDF i.e. 150 kg N, 60 kg P2O5 and 120 kg K2O recorded a yield of 15.33 t/ha which was at par with that recorded by T3 i.e. 150% RDF (13.74 t/ha). The fertilizer dose of 100% RDF was found beneficial for improving yield, quality and storability of potato tubers. The gross monitory return (Rs. 1,83,397/ha) and net monitory return (Rs. 98,401/ ha) were found to be maximum in treatment T2. B:C ratio was found to be maximum in T2.

Cultivation Techniques

Soybean is an important food crop after rice and corn. Soybean production in East Kalimantan based on the 2014 forecast rate is estimated at 1,263 tons of dry seeds. Compared to 2013 production (ATAP 2013) there was a decrease of 139 tons (9.91%) (BPS, 2014). The low productivity is because the technique of managing soybean plants is still not optimal. Efforts to increase soybean productivity can be done by conducting intensive cultivation techniques. One of the cultivation techniques that can be done is by technical methods, namely crop trimming and intensive agricultural cultivation can be done in various ways including fertilization. The study was carried out for 5 months, namely from January to May 2018. The research site was on experimental land owned by the Faculty of Agriculture, Widya Gama Mahakam Samarinda. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with a 2 x 3 factorial experiment consisting of 3 replications. The first factor is Pruning which consists of 2 levels: namely p0 (without pruning), p1 (vegetative phase V4 pruning). The second factor is the dose of Solid fertilizer consists of 3 levels, namely s0 (without fertilization), s1 (5 kg / plot), s2 (10 kg / plot). The results showed that the pruning (P) treatment had a significant effect on the parameters of the number of productive branches and had no significant effect on height, flowering age, number of pods, weight of 100 seeds, weight of crop seeds and weight of mapped seeds. While giving Solid (S) fertilizer does not significantly affect all parameters. But the interaction of the treatment of pruning and giving Solid (PS) significantly affected the parameters of the number of productive branches.

The great economic importance attributed to strawberry cultivation raises the interest in cultivars of high productivity and superior fruit quality. The quality of fruit is the most impacting factor for the strawberry marketing, but selecting genotypes that combine high production and high fruit quality has been a difficult task. The objective of this study was to determine the linear relationships between phenological, quality and production variables of strawberry aiming at identifying potential variables for indirect selection in future selection processes of strawberry genotypes. A trial was conducted in a randomized block design with two cultivars and two transplant origins, grown in four types of substrate. Fifteen variables, including phenological, productive and fruit quality-related variables were assessed. The selected variables explained 45.2 and 39.1 % for PC1 and PC2 respectively, totaling 84.3 % of the total variance of the variables in the PCA, and indicated important relationships between the variables, and a path analysis revealed success for indirect selection of total mass of fruits based on the total number of fruits (0.81413). Changes in crop management that reduces the period between planting date and full flowering may be an alternative to increase the production of strawberry and provide fruits with higher quality.

Buckwheat is a sixth staple food crop after rice, wheat, maize, finger millet, and barley in Nepal. It is considered as an alternate cereal and poor man’s crop, representing an important food supply in remote places of Himalayas. It is the best crop in higher altitude in terms of adaptation to different climatic variables and easily fitted to different cropping patterns due to short duration. It is cultivated on marginal land in 61 out of 75 districts of Nepal from some 60 m to 4500 m asl, especially hilly and mountain districts like Rukum, Rolpa, Jajarkot, Dolpa, Humla, Jumla, Kalikot, Kavre, Dolakha, and Okhaldhunga. Sweet buckwheat varieties are generally grown in midhill and Terai but Tartary buckwheat varieties are grown in higher altitude. There are altogether 19 local landraces of sweat buckwheat and 37 for Tartary buckwheat listed from Nepal. The largest producers are China, USA, and Russia and Japan is principal user of global buckwheat grown in the world. In Nepal, it is cultivated in 10510 ha area with production of 10355 t/yr and yield of 0.983 t/ha. It has also medicinal value used in different forms including all its parts so the demand of buckwheat is increasing.
