Title : Present Status of Citrus Nursery Business in Dhankuta District Material Type: printed text Authors: B. Chalise, Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Srivastava S.P., Author ; K. Bhandari, Author Pagination: 1-8 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Sapling, trifoliate orange, mother stock, shoot-tip grafting, nursery business. Abstract: Studies were conducted in Dhankuta district/a find the real situation of citrus nursery business in the
district during March-April, 2012. During the studies, jive n~~rseries were selected and similar sets of
questionnaires were prepared and given to fill to the nursery owners. Direct field observation,
measurement, personnel communication and secondary data were used during the study. From the
study it was revealed that 11 nurseries were producing saplings in Dlwnkuta, out of which six
nurseries were legally operated Most of them were producing grafted saplings while others producing
both grafted sapling and seedling. All the nurseries werefozmd to be located above 1000 meter above
mean sea level. The shoot-tip metl?od of grafting was found to be the most common method of grafting
onto trifoliate orange seedling rootstock at ve1y low height ranging from 6 em to 15 cm due to the poor
growth of the seedling. Most of the nurseries were maintaining the mother stock inside the screen
house but scions were taken from the open field mother plant. Major problems of(aising mother slock
inside I he screen house were high occurrence of citrus scales, aphids, white flies and sooty mould. The
age of sapling during selling time was found to be 6 month in most of the nurseries indicating high
demand of the sapling. Hardly, some saplings remained for the next year to sell. The income of the
citrus nurseries ranged from NRs. 300,000 to 660,575 per annum. Leaf miner, scale insect, lemon dog.
twig borers were the important insect pests while damping-off, powdery mildew, root rot, sooty mold
and twig blight were the major diseases of/he nurseries.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=421 Present Status of Citrus Nursery Business in Dhankuta District [printed text] / B.

Title : Evaluation of finger millet genotypes for river basin area of mid-western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: K.R Pokhrel, Editor ; Dhakal, J.P. ; T. B. Ghimire, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author Pagination: 179-183 p. Keywords: On station trial ; farmers field trials mother genotypes river basin area Abstract: Finger millet( Elusinecoracana) is a fourth most important food crop of Nepal occupying
area of2,99,523 hectare, with the production and productivity of3,02,691 metric tons and
1.12 metric tons/ ha. respectively. Limited availability of improved varieties is one of the
prime reason for low average productivity of finger millet in Nepal. With the view to
identify superior genotypes for river basin areas of mid-western hill, various genotypes
obtained from Hill Crop Research Program. Kavre, Dolakba, were tested at Agriculture
Research Station, Dasarathpur,Surkhet and its outreach sites, during 2011 and 2012. In on
station trial the genotypes were highly significant for days to SO% panicle emergence and
days to 75% maturity. Significant difference was also observed for grain yield, number of
finger per plant, and lodging, while genotypes were significantly not different for straw
yield, plant height, and thousand seed weight. Based on the combined result of2011 and
2012, genotype ACC#2827-1 (2361 Kglha.) was found top grain yielder followed by
ACC#2324-1(2044Kglha.) and Local Check (1553Kg/ha.). In farmers' field and mother
trials the genotypes were highly significant for grain yield. Under ·these trials, genotype
GPU-0025 was found superior among all other genotypes.Evaluation of finger millet genotypes for river basin area of mid-western hills of Nepal [printed text] / K.R Pokhrel, Editor ; Dhakal, J.P. ; T. B. Ghimire, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author . - [s.d.] . - 179-183 p.
