Title : An Assessment of Rainy Season Vegetable Crops Cultivation in Koshi Hills Material Type: printed text Authors: T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author Pagination: 260-266 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: average variable cost, marketing margin, rainy season vegetables Abstract: A case study was carried out to assess the benefit on cultivating rainy season vegetable
crops in the Koshi hills of Nepal. The study was carried out across the Dharan-Tehratlmm
road corridor from Mttlghat (400m) of Dhankuta districts to Basantpur (2200m) of
Tehratlwm districts. Five major rainy season vegetable crops namely: cabbage. cauliflower,
radish, pea and tomato were included in the study. The infomwtion 011 radish and cabbage
was collected form Basalllpur, cauliflower and peas from Sidlmwa and tomato from
Mulghat. Data collected during study were analyzed by using computer software. Maize is
the major altemate crop to the vegetables in rainy season and the net return received by the
famJers from maize production was only Rs. 607 per ropani. In the recent years, cabbage,
radish, cauliflower and peas cultivation after potato han•esting has increased instead of
maize. The net profit from cabbage, cauliflower, tomato radish and peas was found 11 times,
5.5 times, 13.8 times, 20 times, 6.1 times and 6.4 times higher than maize production while
Average Variable Cost (AVC) wasfowzd Rs. 1.17, 2.83, 3.37, 0.64 and 3.33 respectively. The
existing field price was observed profitable 011 cultivation of rainy season vegetables though
marketing margin was considerably high. It can be cone/ruled that the rainy season
vegetable production in hills is highly profitable.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=509 An Assessment of Rainy Season Vegetable Crops Cultivation in Koshi Hills [printed text] / T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author . - [s.d.] . - 260-266 p.

Title : Economics of Foundation Seed Production of Vegetable Crops at Agriculture Research Station Pahhribas Material Type: printed text Authors: P. K. Maharjan, Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author ; P. L. Karna, Author ; D. Sah, Author Pagination: 288-290 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: economic viability, foundation seed, 1:1 ratio, supernormal profit Abstract: A study was carried out to access the economic viability of foundation seed production of
vegetable crops at agricultural research station. The study was conducted at Agricultural
Research Station, Pakhribas Dhankuta including four major vegetable crops namely: radish
(40 days and Mino Early), pea (Sikkim local and J/ 1050), broad leaf mustard (Tanklunm
local and Marpha broad leaf) and French bean (Four season and Trisuli). The result of the
study revealed that foundation seed can be produced in 1:1 ratio except in peas. It is
concluded that in the proper management condition with 1:1 BIC ratio foundation seed
production is possible.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=516 Economics of Foundation Seed Production of Vegetable Crops at Agriculture Research Station Pahhribas [printed text] / P. K.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: family, seedling tuber, true potato seed, tuber yield. Abstract: Seven hybrid true potato seed (TPS) families received from the International Potato Center,
Lima, Peru were evaluated and compared with HPS 11167 and HPS 7167 during 2001 to 2003
to see the performance of hybrid TPS families for seedling tuber p_roduction in di.fferellt agroecological
zones of Nepal. The families were tested in randomized complete block design
(RCBD) with four replications. Tuber yield produced by MF II x IPS 67 (5.12 kg/m2
) and
Atzimba x TPS 67 (3.15 kg!nl) at Khumaltar and Lumle, respectively were respectively
higher than other tested families. In Pakhribas, Surkhet and Taralu:;ra maximum tuber

), Serranax TPS 13 (2.24 kg!nl) and
HPS 11167 (6.20 kglm2

Khumaltar (496.47/nh Lumle (400.85/m2

in Surkhet and Tarahara, maximum tuber number were recorded in Serrana x TPS 13
(352.05/m2

families were statistically significant, Maximum average tuber weights were recorded in LT 8
x TPS 13 in all the locations. None of the families were resistant/tolerance to late blight

Title : Identification of Best Bet Vegetable Crops for Relay Cropping Under Maize in Potato and Maize System Material Type: printed text Authors: Katuwal, R.B., Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author Pagination: 396-400 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cropping systems. economic analysis, maize, potato, vegetables, Abstract: For the identification and developmem of system based technology in potato + maize system,
four vegetables crops nainely cauliflower. cabbage, radish and pea were tested after the
haJVest of potato in the high hi/Js ( 1800·2200 m) outreach research sites of ARS, Pakhribas
during the years 1999-2001. The experiment was implemented in accessible ami nonaccessible
(or partially accessible) to road and market sites using RCB design wit/1 four
replications. Results obtained from the analysis showed a non-significant difference between
maize and potato yields in the system. However, there was significant (P< 0.01) effect of
location on potato and maize yield. The higher tllber ( 12.4 t/ha) and maize grain yield (2162
kg/ha) was recorded at Basallfapur site. In the case of vegetable crops. statistical analysis
detected signijicallt (P<0.01) effect of individual location, year and vegetable species.
However, the interaction between location x treatment, treatment x year and location x
treatmelll x year were showed 11011-signijicant results. The highest yield was obtained from
radish (33.8 t/ha), which was followed by Cabbage (12. 7 t/lf{l) and Cauliflower (7. 7 t/lw).
The lowest yield producer was pea (1.2 tllw) among the vegetables. An economic analysis
{partial budgeting) from the experimental data revealed that the highest net benefit (NB)
returned from cauliflower (Kathmandu local) was Rs. 129,81 61/w in Basalltapur (access to
road and markets) and at Mudhe sanischare Rs. 32,497/ha (no or partially access to road
and markets). likewise, NB obtained from cabbage (Copenhagen Market) at Basalllapur
was Rs. 61.127/ha whereas in Mudhe sanischare was Rs -4123/ha. The negative benefit
obtained was mainly due to the low market price and poor performance of crop growth due
to continuous rain during early stages of crop growth along with disease and insects attack.
The experimental results have clearly indicated that farm income can easily be increased
with the intervention of cauliflower, cabbage and radish in the potato + maize system in the
road accessible areas of the high hills.Identification of Best Bet Vegetable Crops for Relay Cropping Under Maize in Potato and Maize System [printed text] / Katuwal, R.B., Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author . - [s.d.] . - 396-400 p.

Title : On-Farm Evaluation of Potato Clones in the High Hills of Eastern Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: T. R. Chapagain, Author ; Khatri, B.B., Author ; R K Shah, Author ; J. L. Mandal, Author Pagination: 93-95 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Improved potato clones selected from on-station trials were verified for two consecutive years 2009
and 2010 in the farmers' fields at Basantpur (2300 m) in Tehrathum district. Five potato clones
namely CIP 396010.42, CIP 392661./8, ClP 393385.39, were compared with Desiree and Kufri
Jyoti in RCBD with four replications. These clones were evaluated/or tuber yield and late blight

recorded in clone CIP 393385.39 while the highest mean yield was observed from Kufri Jyoti
(23.67 tlha) which was at par with C/P 393385.39 (22.6/t/ha). In addition to that clone ClP
393385.39 was found tolerant also to late blight disease. Both these clones were highly preferred
