Title : Evaluation Of Exotic Temperate Pasture Species At Ars, Dhunche And Sub Station Chandanbari In Rasuw A District Material Type: printed text Authors: KK Shrestha, Author ; NP Bhattarai, Author Pagination: 97-103 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Twenty different exotic temperate pasture species and cultivars were tested at ARS Dhunche 1950 mas! and
Sub station Chandanbari 3250 mas! during 2001-2004. Highly significant different (P<O.OO 1) was found on
dry matter fodder production among different forage pasture species and locations. Among twenty,
seventeen pasture species and cultivars established better and produced fodders at Dhunche. Highland bent
grass produced maximum fodder 43.2 GM and 13.9 DM/ha followed by Chewing fescue Tiffany (39.6 GM
and 12.1 DM/ha) and Tall fescue Demeter (35.0 GM and 10.7 DM/ha). Birdsfoot trefoil Leo produced
maximum fodder ( 40.8 mt/ha GM and 8.6 DM/ha) in case of pasture legume species. At Chandanbari
maximum fodder production was found from Orchard grass Potomac 39.5 GM and 8.6 DM/ha) followed by
Cocksfoot Porto (28.3 GM and 6.2 DM/ha), Highland bent grass (26.7 GM and 6.9 DM/ha) and Rye grass
Kangaroo gold 22.6 GM and 4.1 DM/ha). Fourteen species and cultivars established better and produced
fodder at Chandanbari. The germination performance of introduced forage species and cultivars was better
at Chandanbari compare to Dhunche. Although more number of pasture species and cultivars found very
good germination the performance of establishment and persistent fodder production at Dhunche was found
better than Chandanbari. Four cuttings were taken at Dhunche and two cuttings were taken at Chandanbari.
The seed production was found significant different among pasture species (P<0.05) and locations
(P<0.006). Seeds were collected from fourteen species at Dhunche and Chandanbari. Chewing fescue
Tiffany produced maximum seeds (780 kg/ha) at Dhunche and Tall fescue cultivars were also found good
seed producers average (447 kg/ha). The average seed production of Tall fescue cultivars and Chewing
fescue was 160 kg/ha at Chandanbari.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=283 Evaluation Of Exotic Temperate Pasture Species At Ars, Dhunche And Sub Station Chandanbari In Rasuw A District [printed text] / KK Shrestha, Author ; NP Bhattarai, Author . - [s.d.] . - 97-103 p.

Title : Preliminary Evaluation Of Promising Native Forage Species In Dhading And Kavre Districts. Material Type: printed text Authors: Prenil KC, Author ; Pariyar, D., Author ; KK Shrestha, Author ; PB Munankarmi, Author Pagination: 115-124 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Feeding of locally available forages is crucial in the hills of Nepal in terms of livestock production. The
forages, however, vary greatly, in terms of its availability, morphological traits, nutrient content according to
the season of their availability and the sites of their growth. Different forage species were, therefore,
evaluated in Dhading and Kavre for their seasonality and morphological traits as well as their ability to
produce the biomass. The traditional practice of feeding native grasses to the livestock by the farmers in
their homestead, terraces riser, marginal lands, forestlands, swampy lands, barren lands and bunds are very
much common and they usually grow naturally without much care. A survey was conducted to assess five
most popular forages in each site. In Dhading, Sama (Echinochloa glabrescens) and Banspate (Seteria
palmifolia) performed better than Phoo/ Khari (Celtis spp.), Chitre Banso (Digitaria ciliaris) and Kode
ghans (Eleusine indica) (p <0.00 1) in terms of plant height. Simlarly, Sarna and Phool Khari were
significantly better than others in terms of leaf number per plant (p<O.OS); while Kode ghans and Bans pate
were better than other in their tillering ability (p<O.OOI). More importantly, Sama outplayed others in terms
of their biomass yield per hectare (p<O.OO I).
In contrary, Tharkhari and Plwul Khari were taller than Phurke Khar (Arundinella nepalensis), Rato Khar
(Adenostemma lavenia) and Bans pate (p<O.OO I) in Kavre, while Phurke Khar and Banspate had least
number of leaves per plant among the tested (p<O.OOl ). Similarly, Rato Khar demonstrated the best tillering
ability among all (p<O.OO I). Above all, Plwol Khari produced the highest biomass in Kavre (p<O.OO I). In
general, many types of forage are managed for their rootstock during April and May and they start to flower
from August till October. Seeding occurs during December to January while they are harvested starting from
June till October. Sama in Dhading and Plwol Khari in Kavre exhibited the best overall performance for
their morphological and production traits. However, there is a need to verify these statistics with their ability
to perform better in terms of livestock production. Therefore, these forages will be tested for their nutritive
quality and their ability to provide efficient nutrition in animal production especially in the hills ofNepal.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=285 Preliminary Evaluation Of Promising Native Forage Species In Dhading And Kavre Districts.

Title : Study On Effect Of Cuttings On Seed Production Of Five Promising Oat Cultivars At Ars, Rasuwa,Dhunche Material Type: printed text Authors: KK Shrestha, Author ; NP Bhattarai, Author ; AK Rajbhandari, Author Pagination: 104-114 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Kamdhenu, Omihi, CDA- I 00 I, Awapuni and 83 INC I 9G3 are promising oat cultivars for more fodder and
seed production at station. Three cutting management practices (0, I & II cut) were studied for their
potential performance on seed production during 2060 to 2063 in this study. Significant different was not
found among five oat cultivars but highly significant different (P<O.OO I) was found among cutting
management practices and years for seed production. More seed production (3.5 mt/ha) was found on zero
cut management followed by one cut (2.7 mt/ha) and two cut (2.2 mtlha) management practices respectively.
Irrespective of cutting management Awapuni produced the maximum seed (3.4 mtlha) and the lowest seed
was produced from Omihi (2.5 mt/ha). The differences on plant height was found highly significant
{P<O.OO 1) among different five oat cultivars, cutting management and years. Awapuni was found the tallest
plant (71.5 em) and the smallest was 83INC 19G3 (52.8 em) Irrespective of oat cultivars zero cut plants
attained maximum plant height (71.97 em) followed by one cut (59.52 em) and two cut management (48.21
em) practices. The crop maturity day was also found highly significant different (P<O.OO I) among different
oat cultivars, cutting management and years for harvesting the seeds. The mean days of harvesting (DOH) of
Awapuni was the earliest (220 D) followed by Kamdhenu (226 D), CDAIOOI (230 D), Omihi (232 D) and
83INC 1903 (234 D) irrespective on cutting management practice. An overall zero cut plants matured early
22 I (DOH) which was 7 and 15 days earlier than I and II cut management practices. The performance of
most agronomic characters on third year was better compare to first and second year.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=284 Study On Effect Of Cuttings On Seed Production Of Five Promising Oat Cultivars At Ars, Rasuwa,Dhunche [printed text] / KK Shrestha, Author ; NP Bhattarai, Author ; AK Rajbhandari, Author . - [s.d.] . - 104-114 p.
