Abstract

Banana (Musa paradisiaca) is a vital fruit crop in Nepal, especially in the Nawalparasi West district, where it can produce and generate income. However, banana farming faces many problems such as diseases and pests that reduce crop yield and quality. This research aimed to assess the state of pest control techniques and banana diseases, providing insights and recommendations for their improvement. A total of 125 banana farmers were selected and the data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that the banana leaf and fruit scarring beetle emerged as a particularly troublesome pest (severity index: 0.93), closely followed by the banana aphid (0.67), banana stem weevil (0.51), mealy bug (0.46), and banana rhizome stem borer (0.34). Similarly, diseases such as sigatoka leaf spot exhibited the highest severity (0.76), followed by anthracnose (0.59), bunchy top virus (0.52), bacterial wilt (0.51), and panama wilt (0.43). All participants employed diverse pest management practices, including mechanical, cultural, biological, and chemical methods. Notably, 82.4% utilized fungicides and 100% employed cultural methods, with no adoption of biological approaches. In pest management, 31.2% employed mechanical/physical methods, 95% embraced cultural methods, and all the respondents used pesticides. Positive and significant relationships were identified between respondents' education level, training, farming experience, contact with extension agents, and adoption of disease and pest management practices in banana cultivation.

Abstract

Citrus reticulata is a vital fruit crop in Nepal, where its demand is very high and has been produced as the main source of income in the hilly region. Nepal offers suitable topography, climate and soil for the profitable production of mandarins with great taste, precocity and high nutritive values. This study attempts to analyze the production trend, export and import, current scenario and prospects of mandarin in Nepal. The study employed a comprehensive review and synthesis of secondary data, including statistical records, publications from relevant organizations, and academic literature from 2001 to 2023, to analyze the production, marketing status, and prospects of mandarin in Nepal. The findings of the study shows that the production of mandarin is in increasing trend with an average annual growth rate of 7.04% from fiscal year 2019/20 to 2020/21 and cultivating area by 33.84 % from fiscal year 2019/20 to 2021/22. The study emphasizes the economic value of mandarins, especially in the mid-hill’s region, as well as their health advantages because of their fiber and antioxidant content. The yield of mandarin has decreased because of several issues, such as high investment costs, lack of adoption of improved technology, poor orchard management, diseases and pests, unstable prices and profit margins along with inappropriate market channels. Therefore, to strengthen this subsector, it is advised to focus on developing mandarin productivity through conventional mechanization, better adoption of technology, price intervention, market recognition, HLB management, establishment of storage and processing centers, and diplomatic relations for easy international marketing.
