Effect of Harvesting Method and Calcium on Post Harvest Physiology of Tomato / Bhattarai, D.R. in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 7 (2006)
[article]
Title : Effect of Harvesting Method and Calcium on Post Harvest Physiology of Tomato Material Type: printed text Authors: Bhattarai, D.R., Author ; Durga M. Gautam, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 37-41 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Calcium chloride, physiological weight loss, shell life, tomato Abstract: An experiment was conducted in Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Rampur, Chitwan
during 2003 to find out the effect of harvesting method and calcium chloride treatment on postharvest
physiology of tomato. Tomato (Hybrid Gootya) fruits with stalk and without stalk were
harvested at breaker stage and dipped in distilled water and different concentrations of calcium
chloride viz. 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1% for fifteen minutes. Fruit were then air-dried and
stored at ambient condition (24 ± 30 C and 70 ± 5 % RH). Among the tested treatments the least
cumulative physiological weight loss (12.14%) was exhibited by 1% calcium chloride. The shelf
life of tomato fruits was significantly affected by harvesting method and calcium treatment.
Tomato fruit harvested with stalk had higher shelf-life (15 days) as compared to those harvested
without stalk (12.93 days) irrespective to calcium chloride application. The maximum shelf life
was noticed in 1% calcium chloride treated fruits (16.50 days) followed by 0.75% calcium
chloride treated fruits (16.17 days).Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=44

Title : Management Study on Seed Potato Production Using Two Alternative Planting Materials under Greenhouse Condition Material Type: printed text Authors: Khatri, B.B., Author ; Z. N. Ganga, Author Publication Date: 1997 Article on page: 16-42 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Degeneration, physiological age , potato, Solanum tuberosum L. Abstract: Z.N. GANGA Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Philippines ABSTRACT This study was conducted in response to the costly and often unavailable seed tubers for growing potatoes. Microtubers and minitubers were used as alternative planting materials of varieties `Granola' and `Monta��'. Results showed that the tuberlet size significantly affected plant height and canopy cover. Larger the tubers planted, the higher the percentage emergence and more number of main stems per plant counted. The number and weight of tuberlets produced were also highly dependent on the size of the micro- and minitubers planted. The bigger the tubers planted, the larger were the tuberlets produced. Higher number of tuberlets were obtained from closer spacings. Planting small tubers generally resulted in higher multiplication ratio of smaller tuberlets, but required careful management. Findings indicate that the minitubers rather than microtubers should be provided to the farmers as the basic planting material at least where the farmers need clean seed stock and cannot afford proper management of delicate materials. Tuberlet production under greenhouse condition is particularly more suitable and important as the planting materials than the microtubers and stem cuttings which are provided directly to the farmers. Minitubers produced may thus reduce the risk of poor crop establishment and favors better crop stand in the farmers' field. .

Title : Yield Loss and Economic Threshold Level of Soybean due to Leaf Roller (Apoderus Cyaneus Hope) in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Gyawali, Bishnu K., Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 73-77 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Economic threshold level, leaf roller, physiological growth stages, yield loss Abstract: Yield loss in soybean due to leaf roller (Apoderus cyaneus Hope) was studied at Khumaltar during
1985 and 1986 seasons. Field experiments were conducted during vegetative as well as reproductive
stages of soybean. Rolled leaves of soybean with eggs, grubs and pupae were collected from the
field and reared in the laboratory for adults. Adults were introduced into nylon cages installed at
the central rows of each plot just after germination of soybean. Insects were maintained at
population density of 25, 50 and 100 per m2. At maximum (100) adult density, the potential grain
yield loss of cultivar, Ransom soybean in its vegetative and reproductive stages were 103 and 48 mg
per day respectively from each adult of A. cyaneus. Percentages of yield losses were 36.2, 45.2,
and 58.0 during vegetative and 37.5, 48.5 and 66.0 during reproductive stages from the insect
population of 25, 50 and 100, respectively which, was
not in accordance with the level of two and four fold increased population density of insect. Yield
reduction was higher (260 and 108 mg per day) from each adult beetle at lower population level (25)
in both vegetative and reproductive stages of soybean.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=64
