Title : Biochar: Its role in soil management and potentiality in Nepalese Agriculture Material Type: printed text Authors: S.P Vista, Author ; A.G Ghimire, Author ; S.H Peter, Author ; S Shackley, Author ; B. H. Adhikary, Author Pagination: 174-177 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Biochar, degraded and spoiled lands, Nepalese agriculture tremendous soilpotentiality management. Abstract: Biochar, the final product of pyrolysis of biomass, can be used as a soil amendment to increase plant growth, yield, improve water quality, increase soil moisture retention and availability to plants, reduce soil emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), reduce leaching of nutrients, reduce soil acidity, and reduce irrigation and fertilizer requirements. These properties of soil are very dependent on the properties of the biochar, and may depend on site specific ecological conditions including soil type, condition (depleted or healthy), temperature, and humidity. Biochar can be used in the reclamation of degraded and spoiled lands (acidic, alkaline, sodic and saline soils)…………………………..

Title : Potential options for sustainable land management and intensified agriculture Material Type: printed text Authors: R.M Bajracharya, Author ; K. Atreya, Author ; N Raut, Author ; BM Dahal, Author ; H.L Shrestha, Author ; N.R Dahal, Author ; D.K Gautam, Author ; P Karmacharya, Author Pagination: 111-127 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agro-forestry, biochar, carbon sequestration, crop diversification, soil quality. Abstract: The soil and land resources play a vital role in the local livelihoods of rural communities as well as in the national economy. With much of the arable land already under cultivation and the ever-increasing demands for food and fiber, agriculture has already moved towards intensification. Yet, producing greater numbers of crops and quantities of food, fibre and other materials on the same parcel of land often leads to soil fertility and productivity decline with overall degradation of soil quality. Therefore, ways and means to intensify agriculture to eN hance productivity without degrading the soil and land resource base have become imperative. To this end, agro-forestry, agro-slivi-pastoral systems, and the adoption of a variety of crop, soil and water management and conservation practices offer potential to deliver multiple benefits without sacrificing the very resource upon which the human population depends………………………..
