  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers Agritourism is a very new concept in the Nepalese context, despite long history of agriculture and tourism sectors in the country. In fact, agriculture remains the main source of livelihood and food security for more than 65% populations for many generations, whereas tourism became an important sector since in 1950s after the increased flow of international tourists to explore the cultures, picturesque of Himalayan landscapes. In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa conquered the Mt. Everest for the first time and Nepal became a popular destination for the international tourists [1,2]. There are many potentialities and popular forms of tourism industries in Nepal. However, there is no specific data on the history of agritourism development in Nepal. but, agriculture always remain an important sector in the tourism industry providing quality, healthy, organic and nutritious food for the tourists.

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers The use of intensive technologies in industrial livestock breeding has led to an increase in negative trends, including a reduction in the level of biodiversity, an increase in disease incidences and decline in reproduction. In dairy cattle breeding, the main efforts are directed at the treatment of diseases of lactating animals, although the solution of problems may be in another area, not related to the treatment of sick animals, but to an increase in the overall viability of populations. It is known from practice that a good cow can be obtained only from a good heifer. Researchers know the phenomenon of “primal health” [ 1 ], so we should learn identify at a young age the long-standing groups with a high potential for protective functions and the ability to lactate. With the use of modern methods of large-scale selection of animals, the desired type of cattle can be obtained over several generations, when...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers The article presents the results of studies on the effect of applying organic and mineral fertilizers on irrigated chestnut soils of the Ganja-Gazakh region on the accumulation of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the development phases of one-year grape crop shoots. It has been established that the application of various norms of mineral fertilizers against the background of manure on irrigated chestnut soils in the phases of the development of a culture of grapes significantly increases the content of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in one-year shoots. Under the influence of mineral fertilizers, the content of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the shoots in the flowering phase in comparison with the control variant without fertilizer was respectively 0.16-0.50%, 0.08-0.25%, 0.18-1, 52%, in the phase of total fruit formation, respectively, 0.15-0.56%; 0.07-0.29%; 0.12-0.45%, and ...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers Opencast mining causes serious environmental problems. This practice leads to the loss of the entire soil and plant cover, considerably increasing erosion problems and loss of soil fertility [1]. All of this, the limitations in physical-chemical soil properties accompanied by low microbial activity hinder plant regeneration activity [2]. Therefore, a solution to this problem could be the use of organic amendments, such as sewage sludge, compost of plant remains and urban solid waste (USW) or manure to restore degraded soils [3,4], burned forest soils [3] and technosols [5]. Some authors have suggested the need to use organic amendments for soil restoration [6], as they optimize the price [1], provide organic matter and restore absent microbiota that is vital for soil structural formation and contribute to plant establishment and the transformation of organic matter [7,8]. Many authors confirm the benefit of...
