  • Sudha Final Paper.Pmd
    Nepal Journal of Science and Technology 11 (2010) 57-62 Effect of Climate Change on Rice Production: A Case of Six VDCs in Jumla District Sudha Sapkota1, Mina Nath Paudel2, Naresh Singh Thakur1, Megh Bahadur Nepali 1 and Reshma Neupane3 1Socioeconomics and Agricultural Research Policy Division 2Outreach Research Division and 3Agronomy Division, NARC, Khumaltar, Lalitpur e-mail:[email protected] Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple crop of Nepal and is directly associated with ample water and minimum fluctuation of temperature that could affect on its production. Jumla is the unique place where rice is cultivated in the highest altitude (3000 m) in the world. To find out changes in rice production due to climatic effect, six VDCs of Jumla were chosen for the study. Household survey, participatory rapid appraisal, farmers’ group discussions and desk review were used for collecting data. Rice varieties Chandannath-1 andChandannath-3 were disseminated by the formal seed system with the aim of increasing rice productivity. Despite the replacement of local varieties by improved ones the production trend seems to be stagnant. One of the factors on stagnant of rice production in Jumla is due to the lack of desirable variety with genetic traits of early maturity, less nutrient requirement compared to Jumli Marshi to cope up with the climate congruently supporting to cultural practices regarding the unique rice production systems of Jumla. Key words: climate change, rice production, highest altitude, seed Introduction rather than in global climate patterns. The earth’s average surface temperature has increased by 10F in Jumla is a unique place in Nepal where rice is cultivated just over the last century.

Road network of Nepal is categorized into the strategic road network (SRN), which comprises of highways and feeder roads, and the local road network (LRN), comprising of district roads and Urban roads. Nepal’s road network consists of about 64,500 km of roads. Of these, about 13,500 km belong to the SRN, the core network of national highways and feeder roads connecting district headquarters. (Picture : Nepal Road Standard 2070) The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. 60% of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reach an SRN road. Two of the 77 district headquarters, namely Humla, and Dolpa are yet to be connected to the SRN. Page 1 (Source: Sector Assessment [Summary]: Road Transport) Primary Roads in Nepal S. Rd.
