Recently Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) has
developed and released a new hybrid maize variety "Rampur Hybrid-2",
which was developed by crossing of RML-4 (CA00326) and NML-2 (CML-430). This
Rampur Hybrid-2 can be cultivated and is suited for the Terai and Inner Terai
(Madesh) region of Nepal. It can produced as high as 7 t/ha of grains when
planted in September-Octover with adquate supply of plant nutrients (120:60:40
kg N,P2O5,K2O) along with 10-15 t/ha of compost and good management with plant
population of 66,666 plants (NMRP, 2012).

Climate Smart Agriculture: Point to be noted
Agriculture not only vulnerable to the the impacts of
climate change, but also the major contributor and responsible for 14 percent of global greenhouse gas
emissions. But agriculture has the potential to be an important part of the
solution, through mitigation (reducing and/or removing) a significant amount
of global emissions. Some 70 percent of this mitigation potential could be
realized in developing countries. FAO states that to achieve food security and agricultural development goals, adaptation to climate change and lower emission intensities per output will be necessary.
In this blog we are pointing some of the major topics that has to be consider to minimize the GHGs and climate change effects.
