Description |
The major objectives of this rice crop cuts and survey were to: (i) identify major rice yield determinants in western terai districts of Nepal and (ii) to identify major determinants that describe the variability in rice yield across farms thereby linking with farm characteristics and socio-economic gradients. This study uses Remote Sensing (RS) data particularly the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetative Index) value extracted from LandSat satellite images in each of the six districts (Kanchanpur, Kailali, Bardyia, Banke, K The study contains several optional modules questions and mandatory modules. The mandatory modules give the broader insights on input uses across farms while the optional module provides better insight on each input uses for example; fertilizer use details, irrigation dynamics, weed management and socio-economics gradients particularly based on income and expenditure of households. The optional module is accompanied by the crop cuts data which was done in three quadrants of each plot wit The sample size for this survey is 1052 households and the inputs use were asked for largest rice grown plots as farms may have multiple plots and inputs use might be different in different plots. Out of the total samples of 1052; a set of (~12%; 126 samples) households participated in optional modules to get the detail data on irrigation dynamics, weed management and socio-economics parameters. |
