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) .Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=856 Identification and dissemination of high yielding varieties of quality protein maize in the river basin areas of mid western hills of Nepal [printed text] / Anil Pokhrel ; Keshav Raj Pokhrel ; Gam Bahadur Pun ; Nain Singh Chhetri ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tara bahadur Ghimire, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author . - [s.d.] . - 28-32 p.

Title : Performance of full season maize genotypes in the river basin areas of mid-western hill of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Anil Pokhrel ; Keshav Raj Pokhrel, Author ; Gam Bahadur Pun, Author ; Nain Singh Chhetri, Author ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal, Author ; Tara bahadur Ghimire, Author ; Chitra Bahadur Kunwar, Author Pagination: 149-154 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Mize ; genotypes full season IYT CVT CFFT Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop in Nepal and main stable food crop in the hill
people. With the objective of identifying suitable high yielding open pollinated full season
maize genotypes for the river basin areas of mid western hill of Nepal, a series of
experiments, Intermediate Yield Trial-Terai (IYT-T), Coordinated Varietal Trial-Terai (CVTT)
and Coordinated Farmers Field Trial-Terai (CFFT-T) were conducted during the normal
growing seasons of2011 and 2012. A total of21, 14 and 7 genotypes were evaluated in IYTT,
CVT-T and CFFT-T in two consecutive years of20l I and 2012 respectively. Out of21
genotypes tested under IYT-T, genotypes: R POP-4 (4261 kg/ha), PHRA PHUTTABATS0031
(3937 kg/ha) and R POP-I (3854 kg/ha) were found significantly superior for grain
yield and husk cover. Out of 14 genotypes tested under CVT-T, genotypes: Across 9331 RE
(5068 kg/ha), RPOP-4 (50 12 kg/ha) and Ram pur Composite ( 4810 kg/ha) were significantly
superior in terms of grain yield. Similarly in CFFT-T, out of 7 genotypes tested, genotypes
Across 9331 RE (2676 kg/ha) was superior for grain yield followed by HG.AB (2594 kg/ha)

Title : Weed management study in rainy season maize in Bheri river basin area of Surkhet Material Type: printed text Authors: Tara bahadur Ghimire ; Bhanu Pokhrel, Author ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal, Author ; Nain Singh Chhetri, Author ; Gam Bahadur Pun, Author ; Anil Pokhrel, Author Pagination: 210-213 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize (Zea maize) ; net return weed flora control yield Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L) is the predominant crop in mid-western hills of Nepal. Productivity of
maize is low due to several biotic, abiotic and socio-economic factors. Weed infestation is one
of the main reasons in lowering the maize yield in this region. To find out the suitable weed
contro l measures in hill of mid-western region, a field experiment was conducted in two
consecutive years of 20 11 and 2012 at Agriculture Research Station, Dasharathpur, Surkhet.
Eleven treatment combinations consisting of Atrazine 50 WP @ 2.5 kg/ha (Pre-emergence),
Pendimethaline 30 EC @ 3.3 L/ha (Pre-emergence) and Glyphosate 41 SL 5 L!ha (Postemergence)
with or without hoeing; 2,4-D (80%) @ 2 kg!ha (Post-emergence) fo llowed by
hoeing; sunhemp mix cro pping (30 kg/ha) and incorporation at 30 days after sowing; hand
weed ing without hoeing; farmers practices (hand weedin g and hoeing) and no weeding
(control) were evaluated in RCBD with three replications in maize-wheat system under
bariland cond itions. Motha (Cyperus sp.), Banso (Axonopus compressus (Swartz)), Bokejhar
(Gnaph aliwn purpureum L), ChipleJhar (Pouzolzia zeylanica L.) and Kane jhar (Commelina
benghalensis L.) were the predominant weed floras in maize field in bariland cond ition of
Bheri river basin area of Surkhet. Atrazine 50 WP @ 2.5 kg/ha (pre -emergence) appli cation
and no hoeing treatment resulted the maximum mean grain yield (4205 kg/ha) of maize with
highest net return (Rs.5 1600/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.59). Simi lar ly, sunJ1emp mix
cropping and incorporation after 30 days after sowing resulted least weed population up to 60
days after sowing.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=898 Weed management study in rainy season maize in Bheri river basin area of Surkhet [printed text] / Tara bahadur Ghimire ; Bhanu Pokhrel, Author ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal, Author ; Nain Singh Chhetri, Author ; Gam Bahadur Pun, Author ; Anil Pokhrel, Author . - [s.d.] . - 210-213 p.
