Public ISBD in Promotion of animal production through research and development: Proceedings of the 2nd National Animal Science Convention, Lalitpur, August 7-10, 1995 / Pariyar, D.     Title : Evaluation of New Zealand and other exotic pasture species and herbs at Jiri Khimti farm Material Type: printed text Authors: Krishna K. Shrestha, Editor Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 17-19 p. Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: Altogether 26 pasture species and herbs i.e.10 graminae, 12 leguminous and 4 herb forage species were sown at livestock Farm Jiri Khimti. The germination, establishment, growth, flowering and seeding characters were studied under local condition of Jiri Khimti. The objective of this study was to find out the performance and adaptability of sown New Zealand and other exotic pasture species and herbs at local environment condition of Jiri Khimti. As a whole, graminae species performed better than leguminous species on germination, establishment, growth and other reproductive parameters. Among grass species, tall oat grass (Arenantherium elatius) performed the best with the highest green matter (G.M) 45 t/ha. Three out of four herb species did well at local condition.  One herb species sheep buret (Sanisor baminor) performed the best. It produced 18.5 ton green .matter/ha.Lotus 'Maku' (Lotus pedunculatus) found to be the best among leguminous species. It produced 45 ton green matter/ha.

Integrated Disease Management of Tomato Late Blight / Krishna K. Shrestha in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 8 (2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inNepal Agriculture Research Journal > Vol. 8 (2007) . - 67-76 p Title : Integrated Disease Management of Tomato Late Blight Material Type: printed text Authors: Krishna K. Shrestha, Author ; Richard Ashley, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 67-76 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Dithane-M45,  Krilaxyl,  mugwort,  Neem,  Phytophthorainfestans,  Trichoderma Abstract: Tomato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary is a serious disease of tomato and potato worldwide. The disease causes severe crop losses in the tomato growing regions of the world. Most of the cultivars grown in the world are reported to be susceptible to late blight. Systemic fungicides have been used widely in the past, but the disease has developed resistance over time. The present study was carried out to minimize fungicide use through integrated pest management. The bio-pesticides Azadirachta indica (Neem), Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) and Trichoderma viride were tested along with the fungicides Krilaxyl (metalaxyl 8% and mancozeb 64%) and Dithane M-45 (mancozeb 80%) in Nepal during 2000 and 2001. All three bio-pesticides were found more effective than the control in reducing development of the disease and they increased yield over the control by 17 to 41%. However, the fungicides, Krilaxyl and Dithane M-45 were observed even more effective. Two transplanting dates ie first and third week of July were tested against late blight in rainy season during 2000and 2001 and observed its effect on yields. Lower disease incidence and better yield were found in the second planting.
