Rice, wheat, maize, millet, and barley are the five major staple cereal crops in Nepal. However, their yields low, imports needed to meet domestic demand. In this study, we quantify gap between current potentially attainable Nepal, estimate how much additional fertilizer irrigation required close gap, assess if self-sufficiency can thus be achieved. For this, first test ability of crop model EP...
