Five outreach research activities consisting Fanners Field Varietal Trial 011 cauliflower,
cabbage, potato and Fam.ers' Acceptance Test on radish, broad. leaf mustard were conducted at
different agro-eco/ogical research (AER) and outreach research (OR) sites of RARS, Lumle
during 199912000 - 200012001. The· experiments were conducted at Pakuwa (850 mas/),
Cltambas (450 mast), Barabise (630 mas/), Argali (660 masl), Maduwa (800 mas/), Taranagar
(400 masl), Bamgha (1250 masl), Rising Patan (420 masl), Deurali ( 1130 masl) and Bhakimli
( 1350 mas/) with an objective to evaluate different varieties for their yield, yield characters and
farmers' preferences. Among four different varieties of cauliflower, Snow Crown produced the
highest curd yield ( 19.2 t/lta) across the sites during 1999/2000 whereas Snow Dome produced
the highest curd yield (34.0 t/ha) during 200012001. Farmers preferred Snow Dome for its
higher yield, curd size, color and compactness. Among the four varieties of cabbage, Green
Coronet produced the highest yield at all locations with an average of 47.5 t/ha and 67.2 t/ha in
both the years. T-621 was preferred for its earliness, tenderness, marketable head size and good
cooking quality. Among the six varieties of potato, Khumal Seto produced the highest average
tuber yield (16.7 tlha) across the sites. Farmers preferred Khumal Rato for its red color and
better taste. The yield among the varieties of broad leaf mustard was not significantly different.
However, famzers preferred Tankhuwa Rayo for its delayed bolting and better cooking quality.
Among the three radish varieties evaluated, Mimt Early produced the highest marketable root
yield (37.2 t/ha). Farmers preferred Minu Early and Lumle Red due to their shiny color, early.
