Title : Agro-morphological Variability Study of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Landraces in Jumla, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Salik R. Gupta, Author ; ,Upadhyay, Madhusudan, Author ; Shah, U.S., Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 1-11 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Hordeum vulgare, landraces, morphological variation, on-farm,on-station Abstract: Barley is an important winter cereal crop in Jumla (2240-3000 masl), Nepal. It is grown in
different cropping patterns in both Khet and Bari land conditions. A total of 207 accessions
of barley landraces collected from various locations of Jumla were studied for agromorphological
characteristics in Khumaltar and Jumla. Data on eight qualitative and five
quantitative traits in 2-m row plot were recorded to assess diversity among the landraces.
Bhuwali, Chawali, Lekali and Pawai were four farmer-named traditional barley varieties
under cultivation in Jumla. A range of variability was observed among the accessions of
barley landraces. All accessions are six-row covered barley possessing rough awns and
whitish-brown grains. These landraces exhibit a range of variation in growth class, spike
density and rachilla hair length. Lekali and Pawai are adapted to the high-altitude area of
Jumla. Cluster analysis of measured data under on-farm and on-station conditions indicated
five distinct clusters. Three principal components explained 84.3% and 60.2% of the total
variation from on-station and on-farm, respectively.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=2

Title : Data Analysis Methods Adopted under In situ Global Project in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, Bal K., Author ; ,Upadhyay, Madhusudan, Author ; Bimb, Hari P., Author ; Gauchan, D., Author ; Baniya, B.K., Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 98-110 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Data analysis methods, on farm research, station subject areas Abstract: Synthesizing data analysis methods adopted under in situ global project in Nepal along with
variables and nature of study could be guiding reference for researchers especially to those
involved in on farm research. The review work was conducted with the objective to help in utilizing
and managing in situ database system. The objectives of the experiment, the structure of the
treatments and the experimental design used primarily determine the type of analysis. There were 60
papers of this project published in Nepal. All these papers are grouped under 8 thematic groups
namely 1. Agroecosystem (3 papers), 2. Agromorphological and farmers’ perception (7 papers), 3.
Crop population structure (5 papers), 4. Gender, policy and general (15 papers), 5. Isozyme and
molecular (6 papers), 6. Seed systems and farmers’ networks (5 papers), 7. Social, cultural and
economical (11 papers) and 8. Value addition (8 papers). All these papers were reviewed basically
for data type, sample size, sampling methods, statistical methods and tools, varieties and
purposes. Descriptive and inferential statistics along with multivariate methods were commonly used
in on farm research. Experimental design, the most common in on station trial was least used. Study
over space and time was not adopted. There were 5 kinds of data generated, 45 statistical tools
adopted in eight different crop species. Among the 5 kinds of data under these eight subject areas,
categorical type was highest followed by discrete numerical. Binary type was least in frequency.
Most of the papers were related to rice followed by taro and finger millet. Cucumber and pigeon pea
were studied least. Descriptive statistics along with 2, multivariate analysis and regression
approaches would be appropriate tools. Similarly SPSS and MINITAB may be good software. The best
one among a number of statistical tools should be selected and utmost care must be exercised while
collecting data.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=68

Title : Red Listing of Agricultural Crop Species, Varieties and Landraces Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, Bal K., Author ; ,Upadhyay, Madhusudan, Author ; Gauchan, Devendra, Author ; Sthapit, Bhuwan R., Author ; Joshi, K.D., Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 73-79 p General note: Review article Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agricultural crops, conservation, on farm, red list category, red-listing criteria Abstract: Red listing mechanism has been developed for wild fauna and flora. There are several
documents illustrating red listed wild fauna and flora. But there is a lack of information on the
red list and red listing criteria of agricultural crop species, varieties or landraces. For initiating
on- farm, in situ and ex situ conservations, red listing is helpful in locating region of crop
species, varieties or landraces diversity. The paper reviewed the red listing criteria used for the
categorization of wild fauna and flora. Categorization of on-farm crop species, varieties and
landraces is based on population, ecological, social, modernization and use criteria. Among
them ecological, social and modernization criteria are useful in selecting location for sampling
materials for ex situ conservation and appropriate sites for in situ conservation. Modernization
and use criteria are suitable for categorization of crop genotypes. Combinations of these criteria
are proposed for red listing crop genotypes and areas.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=84
