Public ISBD Title : Characterization of finger millet (Eleusine coracana Gaertu.) Germplasm with agro Morphological makers Material Type: printed text Authors: Bhattarai M, Editor ; Ghimire, K.H. ; B.K. Joshi, Author ; Bhatta, M.R., Author Pagination: 184-189 p. Keywords: Finger  millet  ;  agro-morphological  makers  diversity  traits Abstract: Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] is an important crop of the millets group cultivated in terai and hills of Nepal. A total of 537 accessions of finger millet were characterized during the years 2010 and 2012 at National Agriculture Genetic Resources Centre (NAGRC), Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal. Standard characterization descriptors were used to record 12 quantitative and 7 qualitative characters. Different measures of variation like mean, standard deviation, range, Shannon-Weaver diversity indices (H') were used for the assessment of diversity between the accessions. Highest degree of diversity was observed for number of leaves (0.906) followed by leaf sheath length (0.902), ear exertion (0.901), blade length of flag leaf (0.893), leaf blade width (0.886), heading days (0.885), plant height (0.879), leaf blade length (0.872), number of productive tillers (0.860), finger length (0.841) and ear size (0.830). With the R2 value of 0.6, 14 clusters were observed based on Euclidean's distance (quantitative traits) whereas with the R2 value of 0.8, 12 clusters were observed based on Gower's distance (quantitative and qualitative traits). Three principle components explained 96.13% of the total variation in the collection. Ear shape (0.99) is the most important variable in principle component 1.

Direct seeding : an emerging resouce conserving technology for rice cultivation in the rice-wheat system / J. Tripathi    

Public ISBD in Rice research in Nepal : Proceedings of 24th National Summer Crops Research Workshop, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, 30-31 June 2004 / Adhikari, N.P.     Title : Direct seeding : an emerging resouce conserving technology for rice cultivation in the rice-wheat system Material Type: printed text Authors: J. Tripathi ; Bhatta, M.R., Author ; S Justise, Author ; N.K Shakya, Author Pagination: 273-283 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: (DSR) has emerged as a viable alternative to transplanting (l'P R). Direct seeding with different RCTs equipments such as power tiller drill (PTD) and zero till drill (ZTD) improved the yield potential of DSR coupled with additional advantages of reduced or zero till system for improved productivity, profitability and sustainability of the rice-wheat system. Several experiments were conducted during 2002103 and 2003104 in the farmer fields of Rupandehi districts following the participatory approach to evaluate the performance of different DSR over conventional TP R. An experiment conducted in different farmers 'field in 2002103 revealed that PTD-DSR produced significantly higher yield over HBD-DSR (hand broadcasted dry DSR) and marginally higher than the conventional TPR and HBW-DSR (hand broadcasted wet.DSR). A couple of DSR experiments were conducted in the last rice season (2003/04) on RCTs along with other methods of DSR and TP R. In one experiment PTD-DSR was compared with Wet-DSR and conventional TPR and in other one ZTD-DSR was eva.7;'.Qted with TPR including two rice varieties (Radha-4 and Sabitri). In first experiment, PTD-DSR was found significantly superior to TP R and marginally superior to HBW-DSR. In second experiment, ZTD-DSR proved significant superiority over TPR with both of the varieties. However, Radh-4 produced comparatively higher yield than Sabitri in both ZTD-DSR and TPR. Partial budgeting based on farmers interview and crop cut sampling of above practices revealed that PTD-DSR, ZTD-DSR and HBW-DSR provided 33%, 22% and 21% higher net return respectively as compared to conventional TPR. The higher economic return from all three direct seeding methods attributed to saving in total variable costs and higher yield. Direct seeding with RCT equipments proved beneficial as compared to conventional TPR qnd HBD-DSR. Broadcasted wet DSR (HBW-DSR) could also be a viable option in the case where, RCT equipments are not available.

Genetic Diversity in Nepalese Wheat Cultivars Based on Agro-Morphological Traits and Coefficients of Parentage / Joshi, Bal K. in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 5 (2004)  

Public ISBD [article]  inNepal Agriculture Research Journal > Vol. 5 (2004) . - 7-17 p Title : Genetic Diversity in Nepalese Wheat Cultivars Based on Agro-Morphological Traits and Coefficients of Parentage Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, Bal K., Author ; Ashok Mudwari, Author ; Bhatta, M.R., Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 7-17 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agromorphological  traits,  coefficient  of  parentage,  genetic  diversity,  Nepalese  wheat  cultivars Abstract: Genetic diversity between parents is necessary to derive transgenic segregants from a cross. Coefficient of parentage (COP) and agromorphological traits (AMT) can be used to estimate diversity among cultivars. The pedigrees of 26 bread wheat cultivars were traced back to 77 ancestors and computed coefficient of parentage for all pair-wise combinations. All the cultivars used in the pedigree analysis were evaluated for six agromorphological traits in the National Wheat Research Programme (NWRP), Bhairahawa, Nepal in 1996. Six quantitative variables were used to compute dissimilarity distance matrix. Cluster and principal components analyses were performed on the matrix of COP and AMT values. COP matrix and the matrix based on agromorphological traits were compared. Mexico, India and Nepal were countries of the origin for 26 cultivars. A total of 77 ancestors originated from 22 different countries were used to develop these cultivars. Most of the ancestors were aestivum (80.52%) and spring growth habit (64.94%). Maximum dissimilarity was between RR 21 and Annapurna 3 and the most closely related pair was Rohini and BL 1022 based on the AMT. The mean of COP for all cultivars was 0.159 0.256. The highest COP was between Annapurna 3 and Annapurna 2. Other more closely related pairs based on COP were Kalyansona and Annapurna 2, Pasang Lhamu and Annapurna 3, UP 262 and RR 21, Vaskar and Kalyansona, NL 297 and BL 1473, Pasang Lhamu and Annapurna 1. Completely unrelated pairs were L 52 and HD 1982, L 52 and Kalyansona, LR 64 and Kalyansona, Kalyansona and HD 1982, PI and Kalyansona, PI and L 52, RR 21 and HD 1982, RR 21 and Kalyansona, RR 21 and PI. Fifteen ancestors were present in at least about 65% of the cultivars. 17 ancestors had been used more frequently. Five and six clusters were formed based on AMT and COP, respectively. Correlation coefficient between COP and AMT was 0.18 (P = 0.0168). Cultivars surveyed represent a wide range of variation for different areas of origin and adaptation. This genetic variation may be useful for further improvement of wheat and it is necessary to conserve them.
