Title : Effect of Corm Size and Varieties on Growth Performance and Cut Flower Characteristics of Gladiolus Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, K.R., Author ; Gautam, D.M., Author ; Baral, D.R., Author ; U.K Pun, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 7-12 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gladiolus, sprouting, spike initiation and florets Abstract: An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of corm size and varieties on
growth performance and cut flower characteristics of gladiolus in the farmer’s
field at Gunjanagar VDC, Chanauli, Chitwan during November 2008 to April
2009. The experiment consisted of 12 treatment combinations laid out in twofactorial
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.
Four sizes of corms viz. 2-3cm, 3-4cm, 4-5cm and 5-6cm and three varieties viz.
American Beauty, Interpret and Yellow Summer Sunshine Growth performance
and cut flower characteristics varied significantly among varities and was
affected by the size of corm. Large sized corms (5-6cm) performed better with
respect to days to sprouting (16.11 days). Earlier spikes initiation (87.89 days),
longer spikes (107.1cm) and more number of florets/spike (16.26) were produced
from largest corms (5-6cm). Significant variation was observed among the
varieties in most of the characters. Yellow Summer Sunshine sprouted earlier
(16.08 days) while Interpret had earlier spike initiation (87.25 days). Plant
height, leaf length and number of daughter corms were found highest in Yellow
Summer Sunshine while maximum numbers of leaves per plant were found in
American Beauty followed by Interpret . Regarding cut flower characteristics,
Interpret was found superior having more number (16.12) of florets/spike

Title : A Survey on Marketing Potential of Maize Seed Production in the Western Hill of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, K.R., Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 82-87 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Commercial enterprises, community seed production, employment, income generating,marketing potential Abstract: A Marketing Rural Rapid Appraisal Survey (MRRA) was conducted from 12-16 June 2002 in
Bhakimli (1725 masl), Myagdi district. Two factors namely gender (male and female) and wealth
category rich, medium and poor were considered in accessible area of Bhakimli. Semi-structured
questionnaires and checklist were used to collect information on maize seed production, marketing
opportunities and marketing system for producers, traders and consumers. The objectives of the
study were to understand existing maize seed production, demand and supply; to identify the
problems associated with the seed marketing system and policy options for sustainable maize seed
production. Farmers groups in Bhakimli were involved in maize seed production and management
of marketing. Successful seed production for long-term would ensure a continuous supply of open
pollinated variety (OPV) seed in farmers’ level. Seed production as a new commercial enterprise
created employment opportunities as well as income generating in the Western hills of Nepal.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=51
