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 plant spacing on the yield and quality of flower, corm and cormel of gladiolus cv. jester Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Piya, Author ; Ajaya S. R. Bajracharya, Author ; Jawahar L.Mandal, Author Pagination: 183-187 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Gladiolus is the most important cut flower among the bulbous flower, being commercially grown in Nepal. Plant spacing is one of the most important agronomic factors that affect the vegetative growth, yield and quality of flower, corm and cormels. In order to find the optimum plant spacing of gladiolus cv. Jester for mid hills of Nepal, experiments were conducted for two consecutive years 2006 and 2007 at Agriculture Research Station, Pakhribas. There were eight plant spacing as treatment, 20x15, 20x20, 20x25, 20x30, 30x15, 30x20, 30x25 and 30x30 cm with three replications. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design. The results showed that earliest spike harvesting days (75.37 d in 2006 and 90.07 d in 2007) in spacing 30x30 cm. First pair of flower opening after spike emergence was found earliest (14.83) from 30x25 cm in 2006 while in 14.57 days in 2007 from 30x30 cm. Largest flower size (10.902 cm) was recorded from 30x30 cm spacing in 2006 and 10.083 cm from 20x30 cm in 2007. In 2006, greater number of florets per spike (18.83) was recorded from 20x30 cm and in 2007 it was insignificant. Similarly, longest spike (104.60 cm and 101.90 cm) was found from 30x30 cm spacing in both 2006 and 2007, respectively. In case of average weight of daughter corm 20x30 cm produced maximum in 2006 while in 2007 it was found from 30x30 cm. Same result obtained for corm size, 20x30 cm gave largest corm in 2006 and by 30x30 in 2007. Finally, higher daughter corm yield (29746 kg/ha in 2006 and 17179 kg/ha in 2007) were acquired from narrower spacing (20x15 cm). Considering all of these results, it can be concluded that spacing 30x30 cm and 20x30 cm are best for both flower quality and corm size of gladiolus cv. Jester for mid hills of Nepal.

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
