Title : Characterization and Variety Selection of Kiwifruit (Actinidia Spp) in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Krishna P: Paudyal, Author Pagination: 16-19 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Kiwifruit is a .Perennial deciduous vine plant. Actinidia deliciosa and A. chinensis are the two
cultivated species of kiwifruit. Although kiwifruit was originated in China its commercial cultivation
was started in New Zealand from I930s. From 1960s kiwifruit cultivqtion spread to other countries of
the world where suitable climate is available. Several varieties of kiwifruit were introduced in Nepal
during I990s by International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development Centre (ICIMOD) and
other individuals. In recent years, popularity of this crop has been increasing among the growers of
Nepal. But research based information about type of varieties and their suitability in the agro-climatic
condition of Nepal is not available. Therefore, this study was carried out to examine the fruit
characteristics of khvifruit varieties available in Nepal and select the suitable ones for commercial
production. Location of different varieties was identified through survey and individual contact.
During harvesting season of 20I 0 and 20I I fruit samples were collected and characterized following
the Test Guidelines for Actinidia developed by International Union for the Protection of New varieties
of Plants. Hayward, Bruno, Monty, Abbot and Allison are female varieties of A. delicious available in
Nepal. Two variants of Hayward variety- round and oblong fruits and one unknown variety were also
found in ICIMOD farm. Single variety of A. chinensis, Soyou, was found being grown in Nepal. Soyou
had red stripe on its pulp while all other varieties had light green flesh. The varieties varied in fruit
shape, size, length, width, shape of stylar end, shape of shoulder, hairiness on the fruit and maturity
time. Based on maturity time, fn1it size and shape Soyou, Bruno and Hayward (round) were
selected for early (second week of September), mid (first week of December) and late (second week of"
December) season harvesting.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1541 Characterization and Variety Selection of Kiwifruit (Actinidia Spp) in Nepal [printed text] / Krishna P: Paudyal, Author . - [s.d.] . - 16-19 p.

Title : Horticulture Sector: Need of Paradigm Shift Material Type: printed text Authors: Krishna P: Paudyal, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author Pagination: 21-33 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Horticultural Sector has been contributing high (20%) in agricultural GOP in comparison
with ifs vel}' low (3%) investment. Diverse agro-ecological conditions endowed Nepal to
produce any type of horticulture crops for domestic as well as international markets.
Experiences from other countries have shown that horticulture sector could grow as
fast as industl}' if right policies with sufficient" resource are allocated. Sluggis'h
development of the sector despite. huge potential has indicated pertinent need· of
radical improvement for its overall development. In the context of restructuring of the
state with federal system of government, changes have to be made from planning to its
executing organization. Involvement of all stakeholders should be insured in commodity
selection and their value chain for research and development. Not only vigilant with the
national scenario, international market intelligence system for export market is equally
pertinent. Services from research, extension ad education should be delivered to the
client from single door system. Provision should be made for product incentive scheme
for attracting youth as well as making horticulture farming as prestigious enterprise. To
exploit maximum potential of the sector structural changes is suggested for massive
curtail on central and strengthening at local organizations. Outlines of power and
responsibility sharing between central and state governments have been proposed.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=200 Horticulture Sector: Need of Paradigm Shift [printed text] / Krishna P: Paudyal, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author . - [s.d.] . - 21-33 p.
