Abstract
Soil deficiencies of micronutrients, especially boron and zinc, have been found in several areas in

the Nepalese Hills, and they may be more restricting to agricultural productivity than

macronutrients. The mobility of technical solutions in the sense of mineral supplements is

dependent on the mobility of knowledge. Local knowledge has not internalized the micronutrient

issue. Scientific knowledge on micronutrients is yet imperfect, based on limited research, and

affected by lack of information on the quality of chemical fertilizers as well as compost/farmyard

manure. The institutional scene related to agricultural extension is complex, and scientific

knowledge is hardly reaching the levels in contact with the farmers. The paper attempts to analyze

the interface between scientific and local knowledge on micronutrient deficiencies.
