Public ISBD in Proceedings of the 27th National Summer Crops Workshop, held at Rampur, Chitawan, 18-20 April 2013, Vol. I / Giri, Y.P.     Title : Identification and dissemination of high yielding varieties of quality protein maize in the river basin areas of mid western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Anil Pokhrel ; Keshav Raj Pokhrel ; Gam Bahadur Pun ; Nain Singh Chhetri ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tara bahadur Ghimire, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author Pagination: 28-32 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize  ;  QPM  CVT  CFFT Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is the important cereal crop in Nepal and the main stable food crop for the hill people. Quality Protein Maize (QPM) is maize with high nutritive value of endosperm protein with twice the content of limiting amino acids lysine and tryptophan compared to normal maize. Replacing the normal maize by QPM is the most effective and attractive measure to meet protein needs and rise human nutritional status of the hill people. Considering these facts a series of experiments, Coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) and Coordinated Farmers Field Trial (CFFT) at station and its outreach sites (Ramghat, Maintada and Gumi) of ARS, Surkhet were conducted during the normal growing seasons of 20 ll and 2012 with the objectives of identification and dissemination of high yielding QPM varieties in the river basin areas of mid-western hill of Nepal. A total of 13 and 5 QPM genotypes with farmer's variety were evaluated in CVT and CFFT in two consecutive years of20 11 and 2012 respectively. Out of 14 genotypes tested under CVT, genotypes: S03 TL YQ-AB-02 (3295 kg/ha), Poshilo Makai-1 (3209 kg/ha) and Rampur S03-FQ02 (2998 kglha) were superior for grain yield and husk cover but were non-significant with farmers variety (3233 kg/ha). Similarly in CFFT, out of 5 QPM genotypes tested, genotypes: 303-TLYQ-AB-01 (3277 kg/ha) and S03-TL YQ-AB-02 (3071 kg/ha) were superior in grain yield but were found nonsignificant with farmer's variety (3073 kg/ha) .

Soybean varietal investigation in river basin area of mid-western Nepal / Anil Pokhrel    

Public ISBD in Proceedings of the 27th National Summer Crops Workshop, held at Rampur, Chitawan, 18-20 April 2013, Vol. I / Giri, Y.P.     Title : Soybean varietal investigation in river basin area of mid-western Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Anil Pokhrel ; Keshav Raj Pokhrel ; Khim Bahadur BC ; Tara bahadur Ghimire, Author Pagination: 33-35 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: genotypes  ;  grain  yield  nodulaiton  productivity  soybean Abstract: With the view to select superior cultivar for the western mid hills, a coordinated varietal trial CVT) was conducted at Agriculture Research Station,Dasharathpur, Surkhetduring 20 I 0-2012 including 14 genotypes, involving one check variety (Puja), obta ined from National Grain Legume Research Program, Rampur, in Randomaized Complete Block Design with four replications. The genotypes were found to be significantly different in terms of grain yield and highly significant for hundred seed weight, plant height, days to flowering and days to maturity. However, there was no significantly difference for nodulation, number of pods per plant and seeds per pods. Three years combined analysis of the data revealed that genotype G- 4504, was fotmd to be the highest yielder(2169.6 kgfha.) followed by lARS 87-1 (2080.2 kgfha) and AGS-376 ( 1996.7 kgfha) .
