Participatory Varietal Evaluation of Vegetable Crops in the Western Hills of Nepal / Pandey, Y.R. ; Pun, A.B.
Title : Participatory Varietal Evaluation of Vegetable Crops in the Western Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Pandey, Y.R., Author ; Pun, A.B., Author Pagination: 299-305 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: evaluation, participatory, vegetables, varietal, western hills Abstract: Five outreach research activities consisting Fanners Field Varietal Trial 011 cauliflower,
cabbage, potato and Fam.ers' Acceptance Test on radish, broad. leaf mustard were conducted at
different agro-eco/ogical research (AER) and outreach research (OR) sites of RARS, Lumle
during 199912000 - 200012001. The· experiments were conducted at Pakuwa (850 mas/),
Cltambas (450 mast), Barabise (630 mas/), Argali (660 masl), Maduwa (800 mas/), Taranagar
(400 masl), Bamgha (1250 masl), Rising Patan (420 masl), Deurali ( 1130 masl) and Bhakimli
( 1350 mas/) with an objective to evaluate different varieties for their yield, yield characters and
farmers' preferences. Among four different varieties of cauliflower, Snow Crown produced the
highest curd yield ( 19.2 t/lta) across the sites during 1999/2000 whereas Snow Dome produced
the highest curd yield (34.0 t/ha) during 200012001. Farmers preferred Snow Dome for its
higher yield, curd size, color and compactness. Among the four varieties of cabbage, Green
Coronet produced the highest yield at all locations with an average of 47.5 t/ha and 67.2 t/ha in
both the years. T-621 was preferred for its earliness, tenderness, marketable head size and good
cooking quality. Among the six varieties of potato, Khumal Seto produced the highest average
tuber yield (16.7 tlha) across the sites. Farmers preferred Khumal Rato for its red color and
better taste. The yield among the varieties of broad leaf mustard was not significantly different.
However, famzers preferred Tankhuwa Rayo for its delayed bolting and better cooking quality.
Among the three radish varieties evaluated, Mimt Early produced the highest marketable root
yield (37.2 t/ha). Farmers preferred Minu Early and Lumle Red due to their shiny color, early.

http://nkcs.org.np/narc/dl/?r=518URL Evaluation of Tomato Varieties and Planting Dates for Commercial Production Under Jumla Conditions / Pandey, Y.R. ; Chaudhary, B.N.
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.
