Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills / Budhathoki, K. ; Regmi, H.N. ; N G Pradhan ; P. R. Bhurtyal ; D.R. Bhattarai
Title : Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills Material Type: printed text Authors: Budhathoki, K., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; P. R. Bhurtyal, Author ; D.R. Bhattarai, Author Pagination: 419-421 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Onion, set planting, off season, bulb yield, income Abstract: Field experiments to assess the effect of six set planting dates on off-season onion bulb
production were carried out at Horticulture Research Division. Khumaltar ( 1360 mas/) for
four years from June to December mollths of 2000 to 2003. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Complete Block design with six treatments as planting date. Each treatn1ent was
replicated three times and two em diameter sets of Nasik Red cultivar produced in previous
season were used in the experiment. The result shows that the highest marketable mean bulb
yield per plot (5.7 kg) was produced (P<0.01) when the,$.t1tS were planted on (26 July) and
this date was followed by June 9 (5.2 kg per plot) and June 24 (4.1 kg per plot). The results
further showed that the low bulb yields in other plaming dates were due to non-bulbing,
thick neck and bolting. These findings had been retested at ten farmers' fields of Nala and
Sankhu Villages of Kavre district in collaboration with 1ntemational Development
Enterprises (IDE) and the results were very encouraging in the sense that these findings
have been accepted by farmers. Farmers of these villages reported that they will grow offseason
onion from sets in large areas in commercial scale in coming years. They further
reported that the average cash income per ropani received Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 25,000 on
adoption of these techtwlogy fam1ers within 70 days of set planting was.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=680 Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills [printed text] / Budhathoki, K., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; P.

Title : Evaluation of Tomato Varieties and Planting Dates for Commercial Production Under Jumla Conditions Material Type: printed text Authors: Pandey, Y.R., Author ; Chaudhary, B.N., Author Pagination: 380-387 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: evaluation, planting, tomato, varietal, western hills Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station (Horticulture), Rajikot,
Jumla (2330 mas/) in two consecutive years (1999/2000 and 200012001) to identify tomato
varieties suitable under Jumla agro-ecological condition and their appropriate planting dates
for extended production period. Eight varieties of tomato, namely Pusa Ruby, Avinash, Money
Maker, BL-410, Pusa Early Dwarf (PED), CL-1131, Monprecos and Cherry Sweet were
included in the experimellt. These varieties were seeded in the nursery in three different dates
at one-month interval on 23'J of March, April, and May (J(Jh of Chaitra, Baishakh and
Jestha) and one-month-old seedlings were transplanted in the experimellfal plots. The results
of the experiment showed that all the varieties took the same period from transplanting to first
fruit harvest in the first seeding while it was significantly different in the subsequent seeding
dates. Avinash took the shortest period in second and third seeding dates with an average of
69 and 70 days respectively. Pusa Ruby took the longest harvesting period of 165 days from
transplanting to last harvest whereas, Monprecos took the shortest harvesting period of I 59
days. Similarly, March seedins took the longest period of 190 days and other two seedings
took the shortest period of 161 and 135 clays respectively. The interaction of varieties and
planting dates showed that the performance of varieties was highly affected by the planting
dates. The variety and different plallling dates did not affect the survivability of plants and it
was lowest in the first seeding and increased in the subsequent seeding dates. BL-410 seeded
on 23'J March produced the highest marketable fruit yield of 34.9 tlha and the yield was
substantially reduced in the delayed seedings. Monprecos produced the mean yield of 20.42
tlha over the season. In the second and third seedings, Monprecos produced the highest
marketable fruit yield of 17.92 and 9.63 t/ha respectively. The yield of varieties was directly
affected by the planting dates. The results revealed that Monprecos was the best variety for
highest marketable fruit yield and it could be recommended for the whole cultivation season.
The results of the experiment revealed that tomato could be harvested from July to November
as off-season production under Jumla agro-ecological condition.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=580 Evaluation of Tomato Varieties and Planting Dates for Commercial Production Under Jumla Conditions [printed text] / Pandey, Y.R., Author ; Chaudhary, B.N., Author . - [s.d.] . - 380-387 p.
