Effect of Pinching and Levels of Gibberellic Acid on Growth, Flowering and Yield of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta l.) / H. P. Pandey in Nepalese Horticulture, v. 10: 1 ([07/25/2015])
[article]
Title : Effect of Pinching and Levels of Gibberellic Acid on Growth, Flowering and Yield of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta l.) Material Type: printed text Authors: H. P. Pandey, Author ; K Mishra, Author ; S. S. Pant, Author ; U. Pun, Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 63-70 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gibberellic acid, pinching, growth, flower yield and African marigold. Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the plant growth and yield of African
marigold cv. Calcutta Local through pinching practice and using different level of GA3
in the Abloom Flora Farm of Gunjanagar, Chitwan from March to August, 2013. The
experiment was conducted in two factorial randomized complete block design with two
pinching levels (pinching and non-pinching practices) and five GA3 levels (0, 50, 100,
150 and 200 ppm). Result showed a significant effect of pinching and levels of gibberellic
acid on plant growth and flower yield. Pinching also significantly increased the number
of branches, plant spread, number of flower per plant, yield per plant
(299.33 g) and yield per hectare (12.04 t/ha). Earlier days to flower initiation was
observed in non-pinching. Gibberellic acid at 50,100,150 and 200 ppm significantly
increased the plant height, number of branches, plant spread and number of flower per
plant, flower yield per plant and yield per hectare over control. Earlier days to flower
initiation was found with increase in GA3 level. Among all levels, GA3 at 200 ppm was
significantly superior due to its maximum flower yield (14.64 t/ha).

Title : Tree-aspects Based Variation in Physiochemical Components of Acid Lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) Fruits in Nepal. Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, R.L., Author ; D. D. Dhakal, Author ; Gautam, D.M., Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Sangita Shrestha, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 54-58 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Ascorbic acid, agro-ecological zone, TSS, TA, juice. Abstract: The main objective of this study is, to determine the variation of fruit quality at
different sides of the tree. Total of 15 bearing trees were selected randomly (5
trees per site) from three different agro ecological domain representing terai
(<600masl), mid-hill (600 to 1200masl) and high-hill (>1200m asl) areas and
samples were collected from the selected trees. Randomly ten fruits (from east,
west, canopy-centre, north and south sides) were collected from each tree and
analyzed for amount of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), TSS, TA and juice. The
parameters varied significantly according to the agro ecological zones.

[article]
Title : Participatory Black Scurf Disease Management on Potato in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Sharma, B.P., Author ; KC, R.B., Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 56-62 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Boric acid, fungicides, potato, Rhizoctonia solani, Trichoderma harzianum Abstract: A farmer’s participatory field experiment was accomplished during three consecutive years
(2003-2005) for the sustainable management of black scurf disease of potato at
Mainapokhar, Bardiya, Nepal. A heavily infested field with Rhizoctonia solani was selected
prior to experimentation. Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design
with three replications. The efficacy of two concentrations (2% and 3%) of boric acid and
0.15% of Thiophanate Methyl were tested for disease control through seed treatment. An
antagonistic fungus Trichoderma harzianum was used as seed and soil treatment. As per
treatment plan some plots were sterilized with formaldehyde 1% prior to planting. The plots
having healthy seed (pre-basic seed) planted in sterilized plots showed minimum disease
(6.8%) followed by 3% boric acid treated seed planted in sterilized plots (10.8%) and 2%
boric acid without soil sterilization (13.1%) and seed and soil treated plot with T. harzianum
(17.1%). Farmers did not accept treatments connected with soil sterilization by Formalin.
After analyzing the overall results of three years experiment farmers choose seed treatment
with 2% boric acid prior to planting and identified application of Trichoderma harzianum
for black scurf management as second option.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=28
