Title : Current scenarios and future strategies of horticultural research in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author Pagination: 121-133 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Horticulture sector in Nepal is contributing to about 30% of agricultural gross domestic product (AGDP) and its contribution is increasing gradually. Horticultural commodities fall in the top priority when issues come for commercialization, value addition, export promotion, import substitution and employment generation. As of result of that technological demand on horticultural commodities is very high. Commercial entrepreneurs are adopting/adapting technologies from developed countries but even subsistence growers started seeking hybrid varieties. Since horticultural research in Nepal is undertaken by public sector institutions, primarily by Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), clear strategies should be formulated to cater the technological need for the sector. Broadly, major strategies should be through public-private partnership (PPP) model for exportable commodities like tea, coffee, flowers; hybrid breeding to cover all types of growers; conservation and utilization of genetic diversity of horticultural crops; technologies to combat climate change effects; domestication of high value medicinal and underutilized crops; team approach for different sub-sectors like fruits, vegetables, flowers, plantation crops; mechanization for labor reduction and water use efficiency; and central level reference laboratory for all horticultural research support – clear research link with central and federal research system. To implement these strategies effectively and efficiently, NARC should act as national agriculture research system and horticulture institutes should be formulated within the system.

Title : Effect of Different Rhizome Covers on Productivity of Large Cardamom (Amomum subulatum Rox.) Material Type: printed text Authors: Neelam Subba, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author ; Keshab Ghimire, Author ; Ajaya S. Ratna Bajracharya, Author ; Shree P. Bista, Author ; Banhu P. Choudhary, Author Pagination: 212-215 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Amomum subulatum, old plantation, rhizome covers, yield Abstract: Field e;cperiments were conducted for three consecutive years (2005 -2007) in /lam to
study the effect of different rhizome covers in more than 25 year old large cardamom
plantation. Four different rhizome covers; old pseudo stems, shrubs and twigs, mixture
of old pseudo stems with shrubs and bamboo mat support on lower side of clumps
were tested against traditional practice of leaving old bush as such. These rhizome
covers were tested in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four
replications. Unit plot size was 9 Sq m with a total experimental area of 180 Sq m. The
effect of different rhizome covers was found significant on yield and yield attributing
characters. Highest number of new pseudo stems (26.9 and 32.2) was recorded in
shrubs and twigs and lowest (10.1 and 14.5) in traditional practice in two years
respectively. Highest number of bracts (480) and capsules (647) were recorded in plots
with bamboo mat. This rhizome cover treatment might provide large cardamom
growers reluctant . to remove old bushes with an alternate method of increasing
productivity of old plantation.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=248 Effect of Different Rhizome Covers on Productivity of Large Cardamom (Amomum subulatum Rox.)

Title : Effect of Different Spike Harvesting Stages on the Corn Yield of Gladiolus cv. Jester for Mid Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Sharmila Piya, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author ; Ajay S.R. Bajracharya, Author ; Banhu P. Choudhary, Author ; Jawahar L.Mandal, Author Pagination: 93-96 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: corm, cormel, gladiolus, spike Abstract: Gladiolus is number one among cut flowers produced in Nepal. Its production area is increasing day by day due to its dual benefit from spikes and corms. An experiment was conducted in order to assess the effect of different spike harvest stages on corm production at Agriculture Research Station, Pakhribas ·Both corm and carmel yield reduced with opening of more florets. Treatments 1 and 2 produCed highest corm and carmel yield. Thus we can recommend ·the spike harvesting before opening of buds at color showing stage for highest corm and carmel production.

Title : Effect of Liming on Large Cardamom Growing Son of llam District Material Type: printed text Authors: Shree P. Vista, Author ; Neelam Subba, Author ; Niranjan P. Adhikari, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author Pagination: 216-219 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Large cardamom, liming, soil reaction Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Fikkal VDC of flam district with an objective to see
the changes of soil reaction due to liming at different dose of agricultural lime in large
cardamom declining areas. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete
block design with four treatments and replicated four times. Soil samples were
collected and analyzed with SMP buffer for lime requirement. Initially the soil pH was
4.99 and it increased up ·to 6. 77 in the plots treated with maximum limit of lime. Soil
reaction was found increased from the initial values (4.99) in the soil treated according
to the intended level.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=249 Effect of Liming on Large Cardamom Growing Son of llam District [printed text] / Shree P. Vista, Author ; Neelam Subba, Author ; Niranjan P. Adhikari, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author . - [s.d.] . - 216-219 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.
