Title : Verification and Dissemination of Off-Season Onion Bulb and Annual Seed Production Technology in Western Idlls of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Shrestha, S., Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; Poon, T.B., Author Pagination: 60-67 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Onion, off-season, fresh bulb yield, green tops, seed cost benefit ratio Abstract: Onion (Onion cepa L.) is one of the major vegetable crops of Nepalese farmers, but a little
attention on research and development works of the crop has been focused. Different onion
varieties viz; Agrifound Dark Red, N-53, Red Creole, and Bemausami-1) were tested on station as
well as in the farmers' field for off-season production. Among the varieties tested, the most
promising variety Agrifound Dark Red was subjected to further dissemination to farmers' field in
Malika, Naule Katuwal, Bijaura, Chupra and Jarkot of Dailekh district with 8-10 farmers at each
site. Different parameters on onion viz,· plant height, bulb length, bulb diameter, bulb weight, days
to bulb harvest, fresh bulb yield, green tops yield, bulb rings, income from bulbs, income from
green tops, combined income from bulbs and green tops, cost benefit ratio, seed yield and days to
seed harvest were recorded Apart from these parameters, seed quality was also assessed. The three
years mean results (2008109 to 20/0/11) revealed that significant effect of sites on most of the
parameters was observed except in plant height and bulb rings. Similarly, significant effect of years
was observed on bulb length, bulb yield, income from bulb, income from green tops, combined
income from bulbs and green tops, production cost, cost benefit ratio and seed yield excluding bulb
weight, bulb diameter, days to bulb harvest, green tops yield, plant height, bulb rings and days to
seed harvest. The highest off-season bulb (705.30 kg/ropani) was obtained in Malika with maximum
income from off-season bulbs and green tops (Rs. 4297 1/ropani) and cost benefit ratio 1: 4.66.
Similarly. the highest seed yield (31.67 kglropani) was obtained in Malika. The assessment of seed
samples of the same variety showed relatively good germination and other seed quality parameters
as compared to those of imported seed source from India.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1635 Verification and Dissemination of Off-Season Onion Bulb and Annual Seed Production Technology in Western Idlls of Nepal [printed text] / Shrestha, S., Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; Poon, T.B., Author . - [s.d.] . - 60-67 p.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Broccoli, centauro, off-season, premium crop Abstract: Broccoli is a very nutritious vegetable among cole crops (having 129 times more

An experiment was carried out for two consecutive years during 2005 and 2006 with
the objective to find out appropriate planting date for off-season broccoli production.
Premium Crop, Centauro and Green Sprouting varieties were planted at five different
times in 30 days interval from March to July. The experiments were executed in RCB
design with three replications. Variety Centauro was found best in April planting
producing 12.42 t/ha followed by March planting (10.10 t/ha). While, variety Premium
Crop produced the highest yi~ld both in March and April planting with 12.68_and 12.15
t/ha, respectively. Green Sprouting yielded 5.29 t/ha in March planting and 4. 0.4 t/ha in
April planting. All three varieties did not respond well "from May onwards because of
high rainfall. Considering yield parameters Centauro. found suitable for April planting

Title : Evaluation of Cucumber Genotypes Under Plastic House Environment Material Type: printed text Authors: K. P. Upadhyay, Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; J.N. Chaudhary, Author ; B. Khatri, Author Pagination: 352-358 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cucumber, genotypes, income, off-season, plastic house Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Hemja ami Lumle during late winter-spring-summer season
in 2003 to identify suitable high yielding cucumber genotypes under plastic environment and
to assess economic viability of the effectiveness of plastic house technology over open field
for off-season cucumber production. Experiment was conducted in a Randomized complete
block design with seven genotypes replicated thrice. The plot size was maintained in 9 m2 (2
rows of 1.5 meter length). The results show a statistically significmzt difference in yield of the
genotypes at Lumle and a highly significant difference at Hemja. Among the tested genotypes,
Mohico Green Long (45.5 t/ha) was found superior to others at Lumle for its fruit yield that was
at par with Rishing Local (39.7 tlha) mul Kusu/e (30.0 tllza). At Hemja, Bhaktapur Local (60.97
tlha) was superior to others for its fmit yield and was at par with Paundur Local (58. I 3 tllw)
and Mohico Green Long (51 .0 tlha). Economic analysis revealed that there was 90.7%
increase in fruit yield and 22.96 % increase in net income from cucumber cultivated under
plastic house tlzan that in open field. This result indicated that the cucumber production
under plastic house is more beneficial than that in open field condition.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=570 Evaluation of Cucumber Genotypes Under Plastic House Environment [printed text] / K.
