This technology can be used to better agriculture in Nepal. Labels can be used to identify where diverse varieties of crops are planted to ensure organization within research stations. Garden label markers can be used, as well as a label maker to print labels that can be applied to the garden markers. Firstly, Lee Valley is a Canadian company that produces garden labels. These labels are made of high quality hardwood and are brightly coloured, which makes them easy to identify (“Coloured Garden Markers”, 2014). Lee Valley’s garden markers are also flat and smooth on both sides, which allows labels to be placed on either one or two sides. (“Coloured Garden Markers”, 2014). All markers have a non-toxic coating applied to them, which makes for weather resistant products (“Coloured Garden Markers”, 2014).
Brother Canada is the Canadian chapter of this company that makes technological equipment; this includes the production of label makers. There are two label maker machines that can help research institutions, universities and communities within Nepal. To begin, one specific label machine that Brother produces is titled the PT-P700PC PC-Compatible Labeller. Research institutions and universities would benefit from this product, as they are more likely to have a computer. This machine produces labels that are printed on “TZ Tape”, which is an all-purpose, weather resistant tape with a sticky adhesive back (“PT-P700PC”, 2014). Being computer compatible, this machine can easily adapt to any PC computer and no software installation is needed. Labels can be created on the computer and are then printed exactly the way that they appear on the screen (“PT-P700PC”, 2014). This machine comes with lifetime toll-free technical support and a one-year limited express exchange warranty (“PT-P700PC”, 2014). In addition, Brother also produces the PT-D200 Easy-To-Use Label Maker. Local community groups would benefit from this machine because it is smaller, is very easy to operate and does not need to be plugged into an outlet (“PT-D200”, 2014). The PT-D200 is a hand held device that has digital display, which shows what the label will look like when it is printed (“PT-D200”, 2014). This machine can print one or two lines of text on split-back tape which makes it easy to peel and stick labels on to garden markers (“PT-D200”, 2014). Similarly to Brothers PT-P700PC model, this one also uses TZ tape, which is weather and water resistant (“PT-D200”, 2014). In conclusion, these label makers and garden markers will ultimately help to organize different breeds of crops in many different areas within Nepal.
