Title : Performance of Different Size True Potato Seed Seedling Tubers at Khumaltar Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikari, R.C., Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 28-34 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Desiree, seedling tuber, tuber size, yield Abstract: A field study was carried out at Khumaltar-Lalitpur, during 2002-2004 to evaluate and compare
the performance of different sizes of seedling tubers (1-5 g, 5-10 g, 10-20 g and 20-40 g) of true
potato seed (TPS) with whole and half cut seed tubers of Desiree of 20-40 g size at 60- 25-cm
spacing. Percent emergence, plant height, ground cover by foliage, stems/plant, number of tubers
per plant, marketable and total yields were significantly increased with the increase in seedling
tubers weight as compared to whole and half cut seed tubers of Desiree. Late blight
(Phytophthora infestans L.) disease was quite low in the TPS crops than Desiree. Both whole
and half cut seed tubers of Desiree produced significantly higher average per tuber weight.
Uniformity of the tubers harvested from different sizes of seedling tubers was statistically
similar and tubers from Desiree were statistically uniform as compared to seedling tubers. The
three years result suggests that more than 1 g size seedling tubers can be successfully used for
potato production as from the seed tubers of any standard variety.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=58

Title : Response of Seedling Tuber Size and Level of Potash on Growth and Yield of Clonal Progeny of True Potato Seed under Chitwan Condition Material Type: printed text Authors: K. Atreya, Author ; A. Srivastava, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author ; Shrestha, S.M, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 69-78 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Seedling tuber size, Level of potash, Clonal progeny potato Abstract: A field investigation was carried out during winter season of 2007/08 in the
upland of Horticulture Farm of Institute of the Agriculture and Animal Science,
Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal to evaluate the effect of seedling tuber size and level of
potash on ware potato production of a clonal progeny of hybrid TPS, HPS II/67.
The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design having two
factors with sixteen treatment combinations replicated thrice. The treatment
comprised of four seedling tuber size (<5 g, 5-10 g, 10-15 g and >15 g) and four
level of potash (30 kg K2O/ha, 60 kg K2O/ha, 90 kg K2O/ha and 120 kg K2O/ha).
Different sizes of seedling tuber and level of potash significantly affected
emergence, growth, yield and yield attributing characters. Growth parameters
like plant height, number of stem per hill, stem diameter, number of leaves per
plant were found to be influenced significantly due to variation in seedling tuber
size and level of potash. Most of the growth parameters increased with an
increase in seeding tuber size and level of potash. An increase in the level of
potash increases the crop's resistance power against late blight and also helps in
earlier tuber initiation. The highest tuber yield (1.36 kg) per plant was obtained
in treatment combination of >15g seedling tuber size and 120kg K2O/ha.
Increasing the size of seedling tuber and level of potash increases the yield of
different classes of tuber. However, potash is responsible for increasing the
tuber size. The maximum tuber yield was obtained when 10-15 g seedling tuber
was used as a planting material and 120 kg K2O/ha applied. Similarly, the
treatment in combination of 10-15 g seedling tuber size and 120 kg K2O/ha wasfound most effective that gave the highest potato yield (30.03 mt/ha).

Title : Broodfish management status and suggestions to control inbreeding in carp hatcheries Material Type: printed text Authors: Wagle, S.K., Author ; Pradhan, N., Author Pagination: 398-405 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Brood stock, effective population size, fish hatchery, inbreeding Abstract: Carp polyculture in Nepal is entirely dependent on the seeds produced from fish hatcheries scattered throughout the terai region of the country. Over sixty hatcheries established in the private and public sector have been breeding four exotic and three native fish species. Induced spawning of both the exotic and native carp by hypophysation has been practiced extensively since early 1980. At present, all hatcheries function as isolated genetically closed units raising their own stock of breeders and producing fish seed for distribution to grow-out areas……….

Abstract: Tomato cultivation of eastem region is based on modem technologies available in the region that
includes use of chemical fertilizer. pesticides and improved varieties. High yielding tomato
valieties suitable to market demand with ability to tolerate insect pests and diseases problem come
under the technological priority of the commercial tomato growers in the region. Tomato fruit

quest of superior tomato cultivars with pest and disease tolerance. It was found that the
wlwlesalers, retailers and consumers preferred small- sized (25- 50 g) tomato fruits with dark red

Title : Varietal investigation on lentil in mid fills Material Type: printed text Authors: Neupane, R., Author Pagination: 114-123 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Lens Culinaris, Grain Yield, Seed Size, Mid Hill Abstract: Lentil (Lens culinaris L.) is the main winter food legume of Nepal. Observation nursery, coordinated varietal trials and farmers' field trials were conducted at Khumaltar, Lalitpur during 2007/08 and 2009/ 10 to select high yielding and disease resistant lentil varieties for mid hills. All the tested genotypes produced very poor yield due to extreme drought. In the year 2007/08 genotypes ILL 7537 R and ILL 7979 produced grain yield of 487 and 435 kg/ha respectively. Hundred grains weight ranged from 2.0 g in Shital to 3.4 g in ILL 8186. While during 2009/ 10, non significant differences among the genotypes were recorded for days to maturity, final stand, grain yield and plant height. Grain yield ranged from 73 kg/ha in ILL 10301 to 341 kg/ha each in 7979, ILL 10071 and Simal.
