Title : Assessment of Storage Losses of Apples Under Normal Room Condition of Jumla Material Type: printed text Authors: Chaudhary, B.N., Author ; Pandey, Y.R., Author ; B. B. Mahat, Author ; Yadav, Y.P., Author Pagination: 26-28 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cushion materials, Delicious group, shelr lire, storage losses and room Abstract: This experiment was conducted during /998199 to 2000/001 at ARS (Hort), Junzla to evaluate
locally available cushion materials and shelf life of Delicious group of apples for minimum
storage losses under normal room condition. For this purpose three cushion materials i.e.
paper, moss and pidal (leaves of Pine wood) including wit/rout cushion in wooden box and
on-floor storage (farmer's practice) were tested in Red, Royal and Go/de11 Delicious apples.
This experi!Jtent was laid out i11 RCBD with four replications. Apple frttits were stored from
September to March and percentage physiological loss i11 weight and number of fruit loss,
total soluble solid and temperature and humidity were recorded. The lowest storage losses
were obsen•ed in paper cushion and the highest in on-floor storage during storage period.
The paper cushion was found statistically superiors over others. /11 Red Delicious apples the
lowest physiological loss in weight 4.1, 9.5, 14.0. 21.1. 33.0 and 47.6 % was obsetved in
paper cushion i11 September to March respectively. The percentage of 11umber of fruit loss
( 1.6. 4.6. 7.8, 1 3.1, 23.7 and 38.5) was also recorded minimum in paper cushion. The highest
physiological loss in weight 10.0, 26.6, 40.3, 55.0, 72.3, and 88.0 % was obsetved in on-floor
storage. The percentage of fruit losses was also high (8.4, 30.4, 41.6, 56.8, 68.0 and 88.0 %)
during storage period in on-floor storage. The similar results were also observed for storage
losses in Royal and Gol{ien Delicious apples in all treatments employed. Among the apple
varieties tested for shelf life none of them showed co11stant and highly significant results
during storage period in any treatment however, .Red and Golden Delicious apples fwd
comparatively better storage life than Royal Delicious apples. Tire results of this study also
indicated that though paper cushion is the best cushion material for minimum storage losses
u11der room storage however, locally available moss and pidal are also recommended to use
as a cushion materials for apple storage of Jumla.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=446 Assessment of Storage Losses of Apples Under Normal Room Condition of Jumla [printed text] / Chaudhary, B.N., Author ; Pandey, Y.R., Author ; B.

Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A survey was carried out during June 2011 to provide a concise picture of entire value chain of apple in order to identify the constraints and opportunities. Primary data were collected by individual interviews, PRA and focus group discussion whereas secondary data were collected from various publications. The results revealed that 11,332 households were involved in apple farming in the district. Six agrovets, 33 nursery owners and Agriculture Research Station (Horticulture), Jumla were major input suppliers. Tatopani, Chandannath and Shinjha were major pockets covering 1574 ha of land producing 3500 mt apple fruits/annum with an productivity of 6.6 mt/ha. Out of total production, 43%, 11% and 15% have been used for local consumption, processing and export, respectively whereas 31% fruits were lost due to decay…………………..

Title : Market Assessment Survey of Apple grown in Jumla Material Type: printed text Authors: Subedi, G.D., Author ; B. B. Mahat, Author ; D.B. Rawal, Author Publication Date: 2012 Article on page: 91-98 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A survey was carried out during June 2011 to provide a concise picture of entire value
chain of apple in Jumla to identify the constraints and opportunities. Primary data
were collected by individual questionnaire fills up, PRA and focus group discussion
whereas secondary data were collected from various publications. The result revelled
that Tatopani, Chandannath and Shinjha were major pockets covering 1574 ha of
land producing 3500 mt apple fruits/annum with an productivity of 6.6 mt/ha. Out of
total production, 43%, 11% and 15% have been used for local consumption,
processing and export respectively whereas 31% fruits were lost due to decay.
Altogether 10 collection centres and 8 cellar stores are operating for collection and
storage of apple fruits respectively. Karnali fruit company, District Cooperative
Federation, local collectors, airport vendors and R. K. Apple processing and
Horticulture distillery are the major collectors in the district whereas B. H.
Enterprise- Kathmandu was major contractor for trading organic certified apples.
The price of apple fixed by DCF at Jumla airport ranges from NRs 15-35/kg for
organic certified apples whereas NRs 15-30/kg for non organic apples depending
upon grade. Transportation cost via aeroplane was NRs 25/kg whereas via truck was
NRs 4/kg. Bhatbhatene supermarket, fruit stalls, vendors were major retailers of
Jumla apple. R. K. Apple processing and Horticullture Distillary supplying organic
brandy, Organic juice, jam and dried apple slice to Jumla Kosheli Ghar, Jumla
organic multipurpose co-operative and Anurag Trade concern at Kalanki. Study
showed that Nepal produce 41755 mt of fresh apple per annum, however, most of them
are being consumed locally. Due to lack of storage, transportation and proper
marketing facilities, Indian and Chinese apple fruits arrive in Nepalese market after
November as an consequence, Nepal imports 37400 mt of apple, out of which 92% of
the apple demand in urban markets is being met from imports i. e. 65% is from China,
India (22%) and developed countries (5%). Thus we can conclude that Jumla apples
taste is best in terms of its juiciness, crunchiness and sweetness, which can fetch NRs
20 to NRs 25 higher price/kg than Chinese and Indian apples provided they can be
improved in terms of size, appearance and colour in the following years.
