Title : Effect of sprout manipulation of diffused light stored seed potu toes on subsequent field growth and tuber yield at lumle Material Type: printed text Authors: Dhital, B.K., Author ; SJ Wilcockson, Author Pagination: 67-77 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Sprout Manipulation, diffused light stored, seed potatoes, field growth Abstract: Yield potential of sound tubers from diffused light storage (DLS) was reduced to a large extent than cold· stored seed because of advanced physiological ageing of the seed potatoes. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of sprout manipulation of DLS seed potatoes (a practical way of manipulating physiological age) on their subsequent tuber yields at Lumle Agriculture Research Centre (1675 m). Nepal during 1998 and 1999. The results revealed a Iarge effect of genotype and sprout manipulation treatments and their interactions on the subsequent tuber yield of potato. Seed tubers planted with original sprouts intact gave the lowest tuber yields (22.2 t/ha) and highest tuber yield was given by seed tubers de sprouted at planting (28.1 t/ha). Seed potatoes de-sprouted at planting and re-sprouted for month produced similar tuber yields....

Title : Farmers' Acceptance Situation of Diffused Light Storage Technology for Seed Potatoes in the Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Dhital, B.K., Author Pagination: 221-230 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Diffused light storage, potato store, seed potatoes, storage technology Abstract: A field survey was conducted in September and November 1997 and May 1998 in the Eastem,
Central and We stem hills of Nepal respectively to study the adoption situation of diffused light
storage ( DLS) of seed potatoes and famzers' experiences regarding the DLS technology. The
survey was concentrated in the areas where the DLS was demonstrated previously focusing
011 two dimensions, i.e. (i) adoption of DLS technology by individual farmers or groups of
farmers where a demonstration was made and (ii) the diffusion of the technology around from
its demonstration site. Adoption of DLS technology was clearly a very slow process and took a
long time from initial awareness to the final decision making stage. Overall, tlte adoption of
technology was minimal. Out of 16 Community Seed Potato Stores (CSPS) surveyed, none of
tltem were found successful. The DLS as technology however was adopted mainly in three
sites and 28% of the illlerviewed farmers (79 out of 278) had adopted the technology fully or
partially. Adoption was concentrated near the demonstration sites and it was unlikely to find
the adoption of the technology in areas where it has not been demonstrated. Most adopters did
not make special stntctures for this purpose but used space available in cattle sheds and
farmhoitses instead This paper summarizes the reasons for adoption and non-adoption of the
technology under various environments and discusses its implications for the further
promotion of the technology in Nepal.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=500 Farmers' Acceptance Situation of Diffused Light Storage Technology for Seed Potatoes in the Hills of Nepal [printed text] / Dhital, B.K., Author . - [s.d.] . - 221-230 p.

Title : Storability of Some Promising Potato Cultivars under Diffused Lightstorage (DLS) Condition Material Type: printed text Authors: Khatri, B.B., Author ; D.N. Ojha, Author Publication Date: 1997 Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cultivar, diffused light, potato, storability, temperature Abstract: The storability of eleven different Potato cultivars was assessed under diffused light storage (DLS) system. The growth and yield performance of the stored tubers were determined under field condition. Field performance in warm environment of locally multiplied seed stored under DLS indicates that cold-storage is not always necessary. Among the eleven clones, only CIP 800936 and Kufri Dewa had good storage quality under diffused light condition for 3.5 months with
