Title : Biological Control of Fungal Diseases of Potato Material Type: printed text Authors: Bijaya Laxmi Maharjan, Author ; Shaila Basnyat, Author ; Kanti Shrestha, Author Pagination: 126-129 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: late blight. early blight, fusaria/ wilt, plant extract Abstract: Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is one of the most important tuber crops with the production of 315
million tons worldwide per year. In the present study an attempt has been made to screen and
· evaluate the antifungal activity of plant extracts against the fungal pathogens of potato plant.
Crude ethanolic extracts of five different plant materials viz. Brassica nigra (cake), Cinnamomum
camphora (fruits), Eupatorium adenophorum (twigs), Lantana camara (twigs) and Melia
azedarach (fruits) were screened and tested against the three fungal isolates (Phytophthora
infestans, Alternaria so/ani and Fusarium oxysporum) from diseased potato leaf samples. The
antifungal activity of the crude extracts obtained was evaluated by agar well diffusion method and
two fold broth dilution method. C. camphora gave the highest yield of700/6 while M azedarach had
the lowest yield of 9. 7 5% of crude extracts. B. nigra was found most effective against P. infestans
with both MIC and MFC values 6.15mg/ml. Similarly, M azedarach showed the higher antifungal
activity against A. so/ani with both MIC and MFC values 3.115mglml. C. camphora was found
least effective against P. infestans and A. so/ani while it was most effective against F. oxysporum
with both MIC and MFC values 3.115 mg/ml. Different types of plant extracts with different
concentration significantly inhibited the growth of all the fungal pathogens at P (<0.05). The
extracts used in this experiment were found to be suitable for the control of these fungal pathogens.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1653 Biological Control of Fungal Diseases of Potato [printed text] / Bijaya Laxmi Maharjan, Author ; Shaila Basnyat, Author ; Kanti Shrestha, Author . - [s.d.] . - 126-129 p.

Title : Cip 393280.64: a Promising Potato Cul Tiv Ar for Central Terai Material Type: printed text Authors: Surendra L. Shrestha, Author ; Raj L. Sah, Author ; Bhim B. Khatri, Author Pagination: 96-99 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Central terai, late Blight. keeping quality, tuber yield Abstract: A large number of varieties were tested as initial evaluation trial, regional varietal trial and
farmer's field trial from 2063 to 2067 at RARS Parwanipur and its command area. On the basis of
overall desirable characteristics; yield, pest and disease resistance, post-harvest characteristics,
and preferences of the farmers, clone CIP 393280.64 has been selected for the central terai. In the
trials, the tuber yield with this clone was increased by 28.2% as compared to Kufri Sindhuri, a
check variety. Other check varieties Khumal Rato-2, /PY-8 and Khumal Laxmi were even inferior to
Kufri Sindhuri. In addition to that, storability of this clone wsa also highly superior and observed
that farmers can store this variety in their farm house as ware potato for jive to sit months and use
tuber as seed potato for planting on November as sprouted tubers.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1648 Cip 393280.64: a Promising Potato Cul Tiv Ar for Central Terai [printed text] / Surendra L. Shrestha, Author ; Raj L. Sah, Author ; Bhim B. Khatri, Author . - [s.d.] . - 96-99 p.
