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

Title : Effect of different organic manures and bio-fertilizers on yield of bush- type French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes Material Type: printed text Authors: Pandey, Y.R., Author ; Gautam, D.M., Author ; Thapa, R.B., Author ; M.D Sharma, Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author Pagination: 366-372 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A study was conducted to find out the effect of different organic manures and bio-fertilizers on bush type French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) variety Arka Suvidha during autumn seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the Agriculture Research Station, Malepatan, Pokhara (848 masl) to assess the effects on yield and yield attributes. The treatments composed of different types of organic manures (Cattle manure, Vermin-compost, Bokashi and Poultry manure) and bio- fertilizer (Effective micro-organism and Rhizobium). The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The temperature during the growth period ranged from 140C to 320 C. The results showed significant variations in different growth parameters and fresh pod yield. Application of poultry manure in combination with EM produced the highest number of branches (6.3), nodes (30.0) and plant height (29.2 cm) flower buds per inflorescence (5.3), longest (11.5 cm) and widest (10.5 mm) pods. Highest fresh pod yield (13.3 t/ha) was also produced by the application of poultry manure in combination with EM and was followed by cattle manure (11.3 t/ha). In general application of bio-fertilizers in combinations with organic fertilizers produced higher fresh pod yield.

Title : Effect of grafting dates and methods on success and growth of mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) sapling Material Type: printed text Authors: B. Chalise, Author ; Baral, D.R., Author ; D.M Gautam, Author ; Thapa, R.B., Author Pagination: 134-140 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in Dhankuta to find the effect of grafting dates and methods on success and growth of mandarin sapling. Scions taken from ‘Khoku Local’ mandarin were grafted on one-year-old trifoliate orange seedling rootstock by shoot tip and veneer grafting methods in eight different dates starting from 29th October, 2009 to 12th February, 2010 at 15 days intervals. The grafts were planted inside the closed tunnel of jute and plastic sheet at 10×10 cm spacing in 50×60 cm experimental plots laid out in two factorial split-plot designs with three replications per treatment, containing 30 grafts per plot. The grafting methods were allotted on main-plots and the dates on sub-plots randomly. The success and growth of sapling was significantly affected by the dates while the methods had no effect. The highest success (96.11 %) was found on 13th January, followed by 28th January (91.11%) and the least (51.67%) on 29th October grafting. The mortality of sprouted grafts was lower in December and January, while observed higher in earlier and late season grafting. Observation taken at 180 days after grafting in successful graft revealed that 29th October had the highest number of primary branches (2.2) but the lowest sapling height (29.03 cm) and canopy volume (973.3 cm3); 14th November had the highest number of leaves (48.47), secondary branches (2.505) and canopy volume (1536.0 cm3); 29th December gave the maximum sapling height (32.86 cm); 13th January produced the lowest number of leaves (21.93) per sapling and 28th January produced the lowest number of primary (1.533) and secondary branches (1.172).

Title : Effect of Nitrogen and Potassium Fertilizers on Yield, Storability and Processing Qualities of Potato for the Chips Material Type: printed text Authors: J.P. Gautam, Author ; M.D Sharma, Author ; B.B Khatri, Author ; Thapa, R.B., Author ; K Shrestha, Author ; D.Chaudhary, Author Pagination: 100-112 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Potato, nitrogen, potash, processing qualities for chips and yield. Abstract: Field and storage experiments were conducted to find out the main effects and interactions between
different levels of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers on total yield, yield of different size grade,
storability and better processing quality for chips of potato variety Kufri Jyoti at Hattiban farm
Khumaltar and storage house of Nationai Potato Research Program (NPRP) Khumaltar and at
Balaju cold store, respectively. After harvesting and curing of potato, 5 kg of tubers weight each
tuber more than 60 gram weight were used for the storage and processing qualitY determination.
The storage experiments were conducted in CRD design with 3 replications. Plastic racks and net
bags were used for storage of potato in dark room and cold storage house, respectively. Potato was
stored for 90 days in dark room and 120 days in cold house. Laboratory analyses were carried out
at National Academy of Science and Technology (NAS1) at Lalitpur before and after storage of
potato in ordinary conditions and before immediately after removing from cold store and 15 days
after re-conditioned. Observations were recorded on yield, storage losses, sprouting, chips quality
parameters like specific gravity (SG), dry matter (DM) and reducing sugar (RS). The storage loss
and sprouting percentage was recorded at 15 days intervals of dark sore potatoes and before
storage, immediately after removing from cold and 15 days after reconditioned of cold store
potatoes. The results showed a significant effoct of N and K20 and there interaction on yield,
sprouting, weight loss percentage and quality parameters. Based on the yield and quality
parameters the combination of 150:100:60 kg N: P20 5: K20 along with 20 tons compost I ha is
found suitable for storage and production of processing chips quality potato at Lalitpur and
