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 : Study on Variety and Planting· Date· for Summer Season Broccoli Production in Mid Hms of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Sharmila Piya, Author ; Purushottam P. Khatiwada, Author ; Ajaya S. Ratna Bajracharya, Author ; Banhu P. Choudhary, Author ; Jawahar L.Mandal, Author Pagination: 307-310 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Broccoli, centauro, off-season, premium crop Abstract: Broccoli is a very nutritious vegetable among cole crops (having 129 times more
vitamin A than cauliflower) but very little attention has ·been paid for research in Nepal.
An experiment was carried out for two consecutive years during 2005 and 2006 with
the objective to find out appropriate planting date for off-season broccoli production.
Premium Crop, Centauro and Green Sprouting varieties were planted at five different
times in 30 days interval from March to July. The experiments were executed in RCB
design with three replications. Variety Centauro was found best in April planting
producing 12.42 t/ha followed by March planting (10.10 t/ha). While, variety Premium
Crop produced the highest yi~ld both in March and April planting with 12.68_and 12.15
t/ha, respectively. Green Sprouting yielded 5.29 t/ha in March planting and 4. 0.4 t/ha in
April planting. All three varieties did not respond well "from May onwards because of
high rainfall. Considering yield parameters Centauro. found suitable for April planting
and Premium Crop for March and April plantings.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=266 Study on Variety and Planting· Date· for Summer Season Broccoli Production in Mid Hms of Nepal [printed text] / Sharmila Piya, Author ; Purushottam P.
