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 : Identifying high yielding protein maize genotypes for hill districts of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Bhanu Pokhrel ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tirtha Rraj Rijal ; Jeeban Shrestha ; Narayan Bahadur Dhami, Author ; Amrit prasad Paudel, Author Pagination: 71-74 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Grain yield ; quality protein maize Abstract: Quality protein maize (QPM) varieties are necessary for reducing malnutrition and food
security problem in hill districts of Nepal. To identify high yielding QPM varieties, various
coordinated varietal trials (CVTs) were conducted in Khumaltar (Lalitpur) and Kabre
(Dolakha) from 20 II to 2012 summer season and coordinated farmers' field trials (CFFT) in
Lumle (Kaski), Dailekh and Kabre in 20 II summer season and Dailekh and Kabre in 2012
summer season. The genotypic superiority for grain yie ld was determined using ANOV A at
5% level of significance. Overall findings of the trials showed the genotypes namely,
Obatanpa followed by S99TLWQ-B and SO I SfYQ produced the highest grain yield in
coordinated varietal trials and genotypes S99TL YQ-B followed by SO I SIWQ-3 and Poshilo
Makai-1 produced the highest grain yield in coordinated farmers' field trials across testing
sites and years. The superior varieties derived from CFFT could be released and
recommended to farmers of hill districts ofNepalLink for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=864 Identifying high yielding protein maize genotypes for hill districts of Nepal [printed text] / Bhanu Pokhrel ; Jhalak Prasad Dhakal ; Tirtha Rraj Rijal ; Jeeban Shrestha ; Narayan Bahadur Dhami, Author ; Amrit prasad Paudel, Author . - [s.d.] . - 71-74 p.

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.
