Storage Behavior of Large Cardamom (Ammomum subulatum Roxb.) Seed / Purushottam P. Khatiwada ; Sharmila Piya ; Neelam Subba
in Proceedings of the fifth National Seminar on Horticulture June 9-10, 2008 / Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) (Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal)
Title : Storage Behavior of Large Cardamom (Ammomum subulatum Roxb.) Seed Material Type: printed text Authors: Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author ; Sharmila Piya, Author ; Neelam Subba, Author Pagination: 230-233 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: large cardamom, storage conditions, seed, tetrazolium test, viability Abstract: Poor and irregular germiniition of large cardamom seed become a problem of
nursery growers and recalcitrant nature and dormancy are believed to be the
factors responsible with it. An experiment was carried for three consecutive years
to identify the seed viability period stored in different conditions with different seed
moisture level using tetrazolium test. The ·results showed that the seed remain
viable (>80%) even dried to less than 11% moisture level in electric oven. There
was non-significant difference in seed viability stored under refrigerator and
ambient condition till 150 days after seed drying by both methods. However, effect
of storage duration was prominent (p>.001) where viability was not statistically
different between 15 and 60 days after drying. The result has clearly proved that
large cardamom seed has orthodox behavior of storage despite farmers' notion of
recalcitrant nature of the seed. In addition to th(s finding, light has been shed to the
other basic information of large cardamom seed.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=252 Storage Behavior of Large Cardamom (Ammomum subulatum Roxb.) Seed [printed text] / Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author ; Sharmila Piya, Author ; Neelam Subba, Author . - [s.d.] . - 230-233 p.

Title : Farmers' Acceptance Situation of Diffused Light Storage Technology for Seed Potatoes in the Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Dhital, B.K., Author Pagination: 221-230 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Diffused light storage, potato store, seed potatoes, storage technology Abstract: A field survey was conducted in September and November 1997 and May 1998 in the Eastem,
Central and We stem hills of Nepal respectively to study the adoption situation of diffused light
storage ( DLS) of seed potatoes and famzers' experiences regarding the DLS technology. The
survey was concentrated in the areas where the DLS was demonstrated previously focusing
011 two dimensions, i.e. (i) adoption of DLS technology by individual farmers or groups of
farmers where a demonstration was made and (ii) the diffusion of the technology around from
its demonstration site. Adoption of DLS technology was clearly a very slow process and took a
long time from initial awareness to the final decision making stage. Overall, tlte adoption of
technology was minimal. Out of 16 Community Seed Potato Stores (CSPS) surveyed, none of
tltem were found successful. The DLS as technology however was adopted mainly in three
sites and 28% of the illlerviewed farmers (79 out of 278) had adopted the technology fully or
partially. Adoption was concentrated near the demonstration sites and it was unlikely to find
the adoption of the technology in areas where it has not been demonstrated. Most adopters did
not make special stntctures for this purpose but used space available in cattle sheds and
farmhoitses instead This paper summarizes the reasons for adoption and non-adoption of the
technology under various environments and discusses its implications for the further
promotion of the technology in Nepal.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=500 Farmers' Acceptance Situation of Diffused Light Storage Technology for Seed Potatoes in the Hills of Nepal [printed text] / Dhital, B.K., Author . - [s.d.] . - 221-230 p.

Title : Assessment of Storage Losses of Apples Under Normal Room Condition of Jumla Material Type: printed text Authors: Chaudhary, B.N., Author ; Pandey, Y.R., Author ; B. B. Mahat, Author ; Yadav, Y.P., Author Pagination: 26-28 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cushion materials, Delicious group, shelr lire, storage losses and room Abstract: This experiment was conducted during /998199 to 2000/001 at ARS (Hort), Junzla to evaluate
locally available cushion materials and shelf life of Delicious group of apples for minimum
storage losses under normal room condition. For this purpose three cushion materials i.e.
paper, moss and pidal (leaves of Pine wood) including wit/rout cushion in wooden box and
on-floor storage (farmer's practice) were tested in Red, Royal and Go/de11 Delicious apples.
This experi!Jtent was laid out i11 RCBD with four replications. Apple frttits were stored from
September to March and percentage physiological loss i11 weight and number of fruit loss,
total soluble solid and temperature and humidity were recorded. The lowest storage losses
were obsen•ed in paper cushion and the highest in on-floor storage during storage period.
The paper cushion was found statistically superiors over others. /11 Red Delicious apples the
lowest physiological loss in weight 4.1, 9.5, 14.0. 21.1. 33.0 and 47.6 % was obsetved in
paper cushion i11 September to March respectively. The percentage of 11umber of fruit loss
( 1.6. 4.6. 7.8, 1 3.1, 23.7 and 38.5) was also recorded minimum in paper cushion. The highest
physiological loss in weight 10.0, 26.6, 40.3, 55.0, 72.3, and 88.0 % was obsetved in on-floor
storage. The percentage of fruit losses was also high (8.4, 30.4, 41.6, 56.8, 68.0 and 88.0 %)
during storage period in on-floor storage. The similar results were also observed for storage
losses in Royal and Gol{ien Delicious apples in all treatments employed. Among the apple
varieties tested for shelf life none of them showed co11stant and highly significant results
during storage period in any treatment however, .Red and Golden Delicious apples fwd
comparatively better storage life than Royal Delicious apples. Tire results of this study also
indicated that though paper cushion is the best cushion material for minimum storage losses
u11der room storage however, locally available moss and pidal are also recommended to use
as a cushion materials for apple storage of Jumla.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=446 Assessment of Storage Losses of Apples Under Normal Room Condition of Jumla [printed text] / Chaudhary, B.N., Author ; Pandey, Y.R., Author ; B.

Title : Effect of Chemical Treatments and Storage on Quality of Potato Chips Material Type: printed text Authors: Gautam, I.P., Author ; M.D Sharma, Author ; Bhim B. Khatri, Author ; Thapa, R.B., Author ; Kanti Shrestha, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 41-47 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Genotypes, effect of storage on chips quality, potato, slice treatment Abstract: Experiments were conducted at National Potato Research Programme (NPRP),
Khumaltar (1350 m asl) during the year of 2011 to study the effect of slices
treatments with different chemicals before the preparation of chips and effect of
different storage methods and days for preparation of chips. Potato cultivars
Kufri Chipsona-2 and PRP 25861.1 were used for experimentation to assess the
effect of chemicals on chips and chips qualities before storage. Same cultivars
were used for different conditions and durations of storage to assess chips
quality. Undamaged and apparently healthy tubers of more than 60 gram weight
were stored in ordinary room temperature under dark (26.9 ±1.16 o C) and cold
store conditions at Balaju for 90 days. Temperature and relative humidity of
ordinary storage room was recorded daily during the storage period.
Observation was recorded on chips quality parameters like dry matter
percentage, specific gravity and reducing sugars and freshly prepared chips
qualities (colour, crispness, taste and over all acceptability). The results
indicated that slices washed and dipped for 15 minutes in fresh water was found
as effective as slice treatment with potassium meta bisulphate (slices dipped for
15 minutes in 0.25%) for preparation of fresh chips before storage. On the other
hand, cold stored potatoes for 30 days and on-wards were not suitable for
preparation of chips due to the browning of chips as a result of higher reducing
sugars. Chips prepared from 75 and 90 days stored potatoes under dark at
ambient temperature of genotype respectively Kufri Chipsona-2 and PRP
25861.1 had acceptable chips colour and qualities
