Title : Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills Material Type: printed text Authors: Budhathoki, K., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; P. R. Bhurtyal, Author ; D.R. Bhattarai, Author Pagination: 419-421 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Onion, set planting, off season, bulb yield, income Abstract: Field experiments to assess the effect of six set planting dates on off-season onion bulb
production were carried out at Horticulture Research Division. Khumaltar ( 1360 mas/) for
four years from June to December mollths of 2000 to 2003. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Complete Block design with six treatments as planting date. Each treatn1ent was
replicated three times and two em diameter sets of Nasik Red cultivar produced in previous
season were used in the experiment. The result shows that the highest marketable mean bulb
yield per plot (5.7 kg) was produced (P<0.01) when the,$.t1tS were planted on (26 July) and
this date was followed by June 9 (5.2 kg per plot) and June 24 (4.1 kg per plot). The results
further showed that the low bulb yields in other plaming dates were due to non-bulbing,
thick neck and bolting. These findings had been retested at ten farmers' fields of Nala and
Sankhu Villages of Kavre district in collaboration with 1ntemational Development
Enterprises (IDE) and the results were very encouraging in the sense that these findings
have been accepted by farmers. Farmers of these villages reported that they will grow offseason
onion from sets in large areas in commercial scale in coming years. They further
reported that the average cash income per ropani received Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 25,000 on
adoption of these techtwlogy fam1ers within 70 days of set planting was.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=680 Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills [printed text] / Budhathoki, K., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; P.

Title : Effects on the Plant Growth and Fruit Production of Guava (Psidium guajava) to Different Levels of Manures and Fertilizers in Acid Soil of Malepatan Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; P. R. Bhurtyal, Author ; Chiranjibi Adhikary, Author ; B. B. Baniya, Author ; Surya P. Dahal, Author Publication Date: 2004 General note: In: Proc. Of Abstracts, pp 72-73.Fourth National Conference on Science and Technology organized by RONAST held March 23-26, 2004, Kathmandu, Nepal (Full paper 10 p). Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Manurial experiments were conducted on 3 years old guava (Psidium guajava var. Pokhara local) plants in acid soils (4.8 pH) of Agricultural Research Station, Malepatan during the years 2001 to 2003. Six levels of fertilizers (NPK) along with compost were applied toguava trees. The experiment was designed in RCBD and was replicated 4 times. The fertilizers and manures were applied twice by splitting the given doses and were continued for the following two years. The effect of fertilizers and manures on the plant growth and fruit characters were studied. The results revealed that branch and bud length were significantly affected by the levels of manures and fertilizers. Maximum branch length of 74 cm was obtained when the guava trees were fertilized with 390:480: 390 g of N, P2O5 and K2O, applied along with 25 kg compost per tree. Highest bud length increase of 35.46mm was observed when the crop was treated only with 50 kg compost/tree. Non-significant effect on increase in branch girth and in production of new branch numbers was observed. Similarly, non-significant effect onplant height increase and leaf number production was observed, however they were found increased with increasing levels of fertilizer application. Fruit size 9diameter) was significantly increased(27.41 mm) when the crop was fertilized with 390:480:390 g N,P2O5 and K2o plus 25 kg compost per tree along with multiplex spray. Fruit number and fruit length were not affected by the fertilizer and manure levels. The highest fruit yield (10 fruit wt) of 337 g was obtained when the crop was fertilized with 390;480:390 g N, P2O5 and K2O along with 25 kg compost/tree and 2-3 ml of multiplex spray. Non-significant difference was observed between multiplex spray or without spray at the same level of manure and fertilizer application. iT is suggested to apply higher dose of fertilizer (390;480:390 g N, P2O5 and K2O along with 50kg compost/tree) for better guava harvest.

Title : Evaluation of Botanical Products for the Management of Aphids, Brevicoryne Brassicae in Cauliflower Material Type: printed text Authors: Paneru, R.B., Author ; P. R. Bhurtyal, Author ; B. P. Mainali, Author ; Maharjan, R, Author Pagination: 346-351 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: aphtds, aqueous extract, bOtantcals, environment, human health, toxtc restducs Abstract: A study was carried out during 2001/02 and 2002103 in order.to test the efficacy of locally
available botanicals in crude form against aphids on cauliflower under natural epiphytotic
condition. Based on number of aphids and quantity of seed yield, the treatments, chinaberl)'
seed extract with tobacco decoction and biomulti-neem @ 3ml/litre with addition of tobacco
decoction were found more effective treatmems as compared to sole spray of biomultineem
@ 5 mlllitre, aqueollS extract of chinaberry seed. This study indicated that aphid population
was increased attaining its highest peak with the rise in temperature. Plants were found
unable to tolerate attack of aphids in sole water spray plots. Application of Titiodan 35 EC
@ 1.5 mVlitre water was most effective treatment to manage aphids. Considering several
negative side effects of chemical insecticides to lwman health and environme111, application
of neem products and chinaberry seed extract with addition of tobacco solution could be
desirable technique for the management of aphids on cauliflower.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=562 Evaluation of Botanical Products for the Management of Aphids, Brevicoryne Brassicae in Cauliflower [printed text] / Paneru, R.B., Author ; P.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture Perspective Plan, bio-diversity, high value crops, World Trade
Organization, Intellectual Property RightsAbstract: Horticulture is an important componellt of Nepalese agriculture contributing signijicamly to
