Title : An Economic Study on Coffee Production at Farmers Level in the Western Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Nepali, M.B., Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; K. P. Upadhyay, Author ; ,Pokharel, D., Author Pagination: 128-133 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Coffee (Coffea spp), is an important cash generative stimulant drink crop after tea in Nepal.
However there is a limited study on existing status of farmers level coffee production in
westem hills of Nepal. An evaluation of famlers' level coffee production was carried out at
Palpa, Gulmi, Kaski and Syangja districts to identify the famlers practices on the
improvement of the coffee production in 2003. Purposive sampling was used to collect the
information. Results from the study described that farmers are generating more than NRs.
160,000 per hectare. Most of the farmers are poorly guided for the plantation of coffee in its
technical base. Coffee plantation utilizes unproductive fallow land and shady area. It also
helps to conserve soil erosion and provide friendly environment condition. Most of the
fanners do not grade their cherry which ultimately spoil the quality of coffee. If they were not
able to sale dry cherry within the production period, they store them more than two years,
which also deteriorate the quality of processed product. Most of the farmers established new
coffee orchard by uprooting seedlings, which germinated near old plants. Results showed that
there is lack of proper knowledge of suitable varieties, grading systems, manuring, irrigation,
proper training, pruning operation, and disease managemellf. However, organic fanning is
common practices in fanners' level of surveyed area.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=479 An Economic Study on Coffee Production at Farmers Level in the Western Hills of Nepal [printed text] / Nepali, M.B., Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; K.

Title : Evaluation of Cucumber Genotypes Under Plastic House Environment Material Type: printed text Authors: K. P. Upadhyay, Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; J.N. Chaudhary, Author ; B. Khatri, Author Pagination: 352-358 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cucumber, genotypes, income, off-season, plastic house Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Hemja ami Lumle during late winter-spring-summer season
in 2003 to identify suitable high yielding cucumber genotypes under plastic environment and
to assess economic viability of the effectiveness of plastic house technology over open field
for off-season cucumber production. Experiment was conducted in a Randomized complete
block design with seven genotypes replicated thrice. The plot size was maintained in 9 m2 (2
rows of 1.5 meter length). The results show a statistically significmzt difference in yield of the
genotypes at Lumle and a highly significant difference at Hemja. Among the tested genotypes,
Mohico Green Long (45.5 t/ha) was found superior to others at Lumle for its fruit yield that was
at par with Rishing Local (39.7 tlha) mul Kusu/e (30.0 tllza). At Hemja, Bhaktapur Local (60.97
tlha) was superior to others for its fmit yield and was at par with Paundur Local (58. I 3 tllw)
and Mohico Green Long (51 .0 tlha). Economic analysis revealed that there was 90.7%
increase in fruit yield and 22.96 % increase in net income from cucumber cultivated under
plastic house tlzan that in open field. This result indicated that the cucumber production
under plastic house is more beneficial than that in open field condition.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=570 Evaluation of Cucumber Genotypes Under Plastic House Environment [printed text] / K.

Title : Evaluation of Potato Genotypes in the Western Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Gautam, I.P., Author ; Paudel, K.B., Author ; K. P. Upadhyay, Author ; J. N. Chaudahry, Author ; B. Khatri, Author Pagination: 146-153 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: mid-hills. potato, RVT, RFFT, river basin Abstract: Regional varietal trial (RVI') and Regional Farmers' Field Trial (RFFT) on potato were
conducted to find out the most suitable and high yielding varieties at the outreach research
(OR) site Hemja ( 1000 masl) and river-basins of westem hills during winter of 2001 and
2002. Seven genotypes were replicated three times in RVI' and si.t: times iiz RFFT.
Experiments were conducted in a RCB design with the plot size of 16.8m2 in RVI' and 21m2 in
RFFT. Spacing was maintained at 60cm x 25cnL Fertilizers were applied at the rate of 20 t/ha
FYM and /50:100:90 kg N: P20 5: K20/ha. Observations were recorded on yield and yield
contributing parameters. The pooled analysis of two-year RVI' data showed a significant
result on tuber yield per hectare. The maximum tuber yield (25.0 tlha) was recorded on
genotype 388764.26 LB and it was found at par. with NSI -17 (22.6 t/ha) and NSI-6 (22.5
t/ha). Where as the lowest yield ( 18.6 t/ha) was recorded in MS-42-3 and was found at a par
with NSI-3W (20.9), NS/-1 3 (21) and NS/-1 2 (20.2) t/ha, respectively. The weight and number
of under sized tubers and tubers/plam showed a significant and highly significallt effect.
Similarly, the pooled analysis of CFFT result showed a highly significant effect on tuber yield
due to genotypic effect. The highest yield (22.38 t/ha) was recorded on the NS/-17 and it was
found at a par with NS1-12, NSI-3W and NS/-6 where as the lowest yield (14.16 t/ha) was
recorded 011 local variety MS-42-3.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=482 Evaluation of Potato Genotypes in the Western Hills of Nepal [printed text] / Gautam, I.P., Author ; Paudel, K.B., Author ; K.

Title : Identification of suitable approaches for controlling blue mould disease in cellar store Material Type: printed text Authors: K. P. Upadhyay, Author ; Paudel, K.B., Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author ; Sah, D.N., Author ; J.N Chaudhary, Author ; B Khatri, Author Pagination: 294-301 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: An experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station. Lumle during 2001/2002 to find out the effectiveness of fruit stalk, yellowness and chemicals for controlling blue mould disease in mandarin orange in cellar store. This experiment was conducted in a three-factor RCBD with three replications. Twenty treatments were set with 20 fruits for each treatment. Observations were recorded on the number of healthy fruits at different intervals (30, 40, 60, 70, 100 and 120 days after storage).Fruits infected with blue mould were avoided after the disease occurrence. Fruits were kept in the cellar store for 120 days. After 120 days, total juice, equatorial and polar diameters, the TSS and TA %, were recorded. The application of acetic acid fumigation @ 2.Sµl/liter of water on the stalked fruits with 50% yellow color was found better for controlling blue mould in cellar store. Similarly, the by dipping the fruits for ten minutes in garlic extract (1% solution) was also found effective in controlling the blue mould for long term storage ( 120 days).
