Perceived attributes and adoption of Indigenous Technological Knowledge on agriculture - a case study from Bhirkot municipality of Syangja District, Nepal

Sushil Khatri, Saugat Khanal, Santosh Kafle · 2021 · Cogent Food & Agriculture

Summary. Farmers in Nepal's Syangja District possess moderate knowledge of indigenous agricultural technologies, with practices like farmyard manure use and scarecrows proving most adoptable. Mixed cropping, green manuring, and ash-based seed storage remain common. However, adoption faces barriers including farmer preference for commercial inputs, social constraints, slow results, and insufficient government support. The study calls for government documentation and scientific validation of indigenous methods.
