Supply Situation of Vegetable Seeds in Nepal: An Analysis from Policy Perspective / Krishna P. Timsina in Nepalese Horticulture, v. 10: 1 ([07/25/2015])
[article]
Title : Supply Situation of Vegetable Seeds in Nepal: An Analysis from Policy Perspective Material Type: printed text Authors: Krishna P. Timsina, Author ; Shivakoti, Ganesh P., Author ; Kent J. Bradford, Author Publication Date: 2015 Languages : English (eng) Keywords: vegetable seeds, strategies, requirements, policy issues Abstract: The government of Nepal has approved different policies and legislation related
to seed and emphasized the importance of quality improvement in the seed sector.
However, the public and private sectors face problems to access quality assurance
services, maintain the quality of seeds and supply based on the demand to the
consumer. Considering the situation, this paper tries to analyses existing
production, requirements and distribution scenario of selected vegetable seeds
along with policy issue in the vegetable seeds sub-sectors in Nepal. Based on the
analysis, policy options were recommended for seed quality improvement and
income generation. Results indicated that over the four decades, the demand for
vegetable seeds is increasing at rapid rate compared to seed production. The
national demand of vegetable seed could be met by adopting two strategies: first,
the effort of varietal development, maintenance, testing and national listing of
imported varieties that are suitable for different locations should be combined with
the maintenance of the seed cycle based on the farmer’s preference, and second,
the effort is needed to improve the quality of seeds by adopting proper postharvest
operation such as appropriate drying and storage technology. It is necessary to
manage the supply of farmer preferred varieties and quality seeds through
government initiative by creating conducive environment to private sectors
investment. For seed quality improvement, the identified role of the public sector,
private sector and community-based organizations (CBOs) should be implemented
in right time synchronized to meet the national demands of the vegetable seeds.

[article]
Title : Effect of Black Point Disease on Yield and Quality of Wheat Seed Material Type: printed text Authors: Shakya, P.B., Author Publication Date: 1997 Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Quality seeds, seed borne disease, treatment,. Abstract: The effect of black point disease (Drechslera sorokiniana) on seed yield and quality of seeds of wheat variety Annapurna-1 was studied at Khumaltar during 1992 and 1993 wheat seasons. The study was focussed to find out the effectiveness of Vitavax-200 in producing healthy and high quality wheat seeds. Wheat seed treated with Vitavax-200 at the rate of 3.0 g/kg seed was found promising in lessening the infection by the seed borne organisms and producing good quality and high seed yields and grain weights.
