Title : Evaluations of Cabbage Cultivars for Export Markets Material Type: printed text Authors: Budathoki, K, Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; Bhattarai, D.R., Author Pagination: 405-408 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cabbage, cultivars, diseases tolerance Abstract: Cabbage is one of the important exportable vegetable crops produced in the hills of Nepal
during Asadh to Kartik. Produced cabbage heads are exported to India apart from domestic
consumption. However, the price of the cabbage received by the exporter is very poor and is
deterwined by· the quality parameters require by the consumers and importers of the
importing countries. Round shaped head, dark green· colour of leaves and small heads
weighting about one kilogram are the important quality parameter of the cabbage heads
needed by Indian importers. However, the present recommended cultivars are lacking of
these quality traits and are found unsuitable for export markets. In view of these problems,
experiment was conducted during 2000 to 200/ to evaluate and identify the cultivars suitable
for export markets and domestic markets. A total of 22 cabbage cultivars were evaluated in
RCBD with 3 replications. Transplanting was done in first week of Shravan. The plot size
was 2.4 m2. Tfte row-to-row and plant-to-plant spacing were kept at 40 em and 40 em
respectively. Result showed that cultivars Gonzales, Vector Boy, NS 27 and Saint had been
found with exportable size, color and shape of the head. These cultivars therefore should be
recommended for wider cultivation for export markets.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=678 Evaluations of Cabbage Cultivars for Export Markets [printed text] / Budathoki, K, Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; Bhattarai, D.R., Author . - [s.d.] . - 405-408 p.

Mainali, Author ; Maharjan, R, Author Pagination: 426-431 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cocoon quality, mulberry cultivars, silkworm strains Abstract: Experiment was conducted to assess the optimum interaction between common silkworm races (J-12 and C-12) with different mulberry varieties (Kanva-2, Lun-40, K-22, Khumal-1 and Khumal-3) at Khumaltar, Lalitpur during the year 2004/05 and 2005/06. The bud initiation and senescence characteristics were found superior in Kanva–2 among the tested cultivars. The last instars larval weight was found more in Japanese strain of silkworm fed with Kanva-2, Lun-40 and K-22 cultivars while no much difference was observed in pupal weight. The mounting was faster in Chinese strains and percentage good cocoon recovery was slightly more in Japanese strains (82.75 to 90.74%) fed with Kanva-2 variety………………

Title : Some Local Potato Cultivars and their Reaction to Viruses Material Type: printed text Authors: Khatri, B.B., Author ; Surendra L. Shrestha, Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 19-21 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Local cultivars, potato, tuber yield, virus diseases Abstract: ABSTRACT
Potato Research Programme (PRP) started initial studies of local potato cultivars since 1988/89 in
Nepal, to understand the plant and yield characteristics of these cultivars and to explore potato
cultivars diversity in the country. More activities on germplasm collection, characterization and
performance evaluation were carried out at Khumaltar. Twenty-one local cultivars collected from
different parts of the country were evaluated and compared with check varieties. The studies were
carried out in the laboratory of PRP, Khumaltar for identification and rating of these cultivars
for virus diseases. The presence of different viruses was observed in almost all cultivars tested.
However, the degree of infection was different. The tuber yields of almost all tested stocks were
found infected by virus diseases and as a result, a large number of small sized tubers per plant
were produced. However, combined results of tuber characteristics showed that cultivars Farse
White, Rosita, Khumbule and Lumle Red were superior to Kufri Jyoti in tuber yields over the years.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=73

of evaluating late blight disease [Phytophthora infestans (Mont) de Barry] resistant and high yielding

of experiments since 2006, were tested in farmers' fields at Dhikure (Nuwakot), Panvanipur (Bara),
Belachapi (Dhanusa), Sonpur (Dang) and Kimugaun (Dailekh) involving twa to four farmers in each
location. A farmer's field trial ~FF.I') set per farmer, composed af6-15 genotypes, were planted in the
plat size ranging from 3 to 6 m during the respective potato planting season. Potato cultivars Desiree
and Kufri Sindhuri in Bara, Lalgulab in Dhanusa, MS-42.3 and Cardinal in Nuwakat and Tharu Local
in Dang were used as check to compare with test genotypes. Fungicide against any disease was not
sprayed throughout the crop period Late blight severity as foliage damage % was recorc(ed at 70-75
days after planting. Crop was harvested at 90-110 days after planting depending an the location and
farmers decision. Genotype PRP-266264.01 produced the highest tuber yield (46.67tlha)followed by
