Title : Morphological characterization of district seeded rice landraces of foothills and river basin in far western development region Material Type: printed text Authors: HK Prasai ; Subarna Sharma, Author ; Ujjwal Kumar Singh Kushwaha, Author ; Bishnu Joshi, Author Pagination: 188-191 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Landraces ; Characterization Direct seeded rice Agro-environment Abstract: Numbers of rice landraces are grown by the farmers to fulfill their food requirement, socio econo
mic needs as well as cultural preferences through utilization exist ing heterogeneity in
so il , topograp hy and irrigation facility especially in far western Nepal. An experiment was
conducted during rainy season of 20 12 at Regional Agriculture Research Station, Bhagetada,
Doti as an attempt to characterize some of the direct seeded r ice landraces of foothi lls and
river basin agro-environment. The study was further intended in varietal improvement of the
local landraces for increasing productivity through effective selection techniques. For this
purpose, twelve indigenous lines of direct seeded rice were co llected from foothills and river
bas in areas of Doti and Dadeldhura districts. Cultivars were then evaluated in RCBD design
with three replications. Recommended dose of fertilizer and management practices were
appl ied. Morphologic al, Phenological and Yield attributing data were recorded and were
subjected to analysis through app lication ofMSTAT-C software. Cultivars were found nonsignificant
in traits such as; days to 75% flowering, days to 75% maturity, sp ike length, ti llers
per sq. m and unfilled grain per panicle. In contrast, s ignificant difference was exhibited
among these landraces in traits such as plant height, filled grain per panicle, Gra in Yield Kg
per hectare and I 000 grain weight. Cultivar Dal Badale and Naugire were signi ficantly taller
but Jhimma and Shyam jiro were found most dwarf. Latamandau Local showed significantly
higher average filed gra ins per pan icle but Shyam jiro and Dal Badalehave lower average
filled grain per panicle. Rate Dhan recorded significantly highest grain yield followed by
Anj ana; whereas cultivar Ghaiya local had lowest grain yield. Maximum I 000 grain weight
was recorded for Rate Dhan and Latamandau Local but Sunaulo exhibited the least test
weight.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=889 Morphological characterization of district seeded rice landraces of foothills and river basin in far western development region [printed text] / HK Prasai ; Subarna Sharma, Author ; Ujjwal Kumar Singh Kushwaha, Author ; Bishnu Joshi, Author . - [s.d.] . - 188-191 p.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Cultivar ; Upland Yield Local Grain Abstract: Seventeen landraces cultivars of rice were planted during 2012113 at agriculture research
station of Doti. Randomi zed Complete Blcok Design was appl ied during planting and the
experiment was repli cated twice. Each plot had one meter square area with 25 ems row to row
di stance. Different characters were recorded such as tillers/m2
• days to flowering, days to
maturi ty, culm length, panicle length, total length, fill ed grains per panicle, unfill ed grains per
panicle, grain yield and test weight. Among different lines, Churot showed high est till ers/m2

had longer days to flowering (91) followed by Anj ana Rato (88) and Pele had shorter days to
flowering (75). Basmati Bikase took longer days to maturity ( 11 6) whereas Sal auga had
shorter days (111) to maturity. Longer culm length was of Gad i Dhan (131 em) and Sunaulo
had the least (85 em). In the same way, Pele had longest panicle length (28 em) and Basmati
Bikase (22 em) had the shortest. Highest tilled grains per panicle recorded in cu lti var Salauga
(175) and lowest was shown by Bikase Basmati ( l 02 ). Dhunge and Gadi Dhan showed (33)

terms of grain yie ld, cultivar n1imma had high est grain y ie ld (5450 kg/ha) and Rato Seto had
the lowest (2200 kg!ha). Similarly, lowest test weight was shown by Jhimma (20.0 gm).
Among all local lines, cultivar Jbimma was found best in terms of yield, and so many others

Title : Varietal improvement of early maize for Far Western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: HK Prasai ; Subarna Sharma, Author ; Ujjwal Kumar Singh Kushwaha, Author ; Bishnu Joshi, Author Pagination: 174-177 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Early maize ; IYT CVT grain yield Abstract: Intermediate yield trial (IYT) of early maize was carried out at Regional Agricultural
Research Station, Doti during 20 I 1/12 and 20 12/I 3. The experiment was laid out in
random ized complete block design. A total of nine entries were included in both years. Out of
the tested genotypes, S03TEY -FM(ER) recorded the highest grain yield (2899 kg/ha)
followed by Ram pur S03E02 (2846 kg!ha) and Across 2401 (2628 kg/ha). Statistically all
the traits included in the experiment were found none significant among genotypes. The same
entries were included in IYT experiment of2012/ 13 also. Amongst the tested entries included
in the experiment, S03TEYILN produced the highest grain yield (4718 kglha) fo llowed by
S03 TEY -FM(ER) ( 44 70 kglha) and Ram pur S03E02 ( 43 19kg!ha). Statistica lly, tested traits
were found significantly different due to genotypes at 1-5% level. S03TEYILN (3863 kg/ha),
S03TEY-FM (ER) and S03TEY-SEQ (3427 kg/ha), and Rampur S03E02 (3300 kg/ha) have
been identified as promising genotypes of early maize from combined analys is over years for
far western lower hills and river basins. The difference in grain yield due to genotypes and
year was found significantly different at 1% level whereas it was found non-si gn ificant for
treatment and year interaction as indicated by combined analysis over years. The coordinated
varietal trial of early maize was also carried out at this research station during 2011/12. Total
nine entries were included in the experiment and it was replicated three times. Out of the
tested entries included in the experiment, Rampur Composite x Pool 17 recorded the highest
grain yield (3244 kg/ha) followed by Pop 44 x Pool 15 (3150 kg/ha) and Khumal Yellow x
Pool 17 (2915 kglha). Statistically, the difference in flowering days, plant height, ear height

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Maize ; grain yield significant far western Nepal Abstract: Intermediate yield trial (IYT) and coordinated varietal trial (CVT) of maize (terai set) were
conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Doti during summer season of
the year 2012 and 2013. Twenty one genotypes of maize were included in IYT whereas
fourteen genotypes were included in CVT for both years. The experiments were laid out in
randomized complete block design with three replications. Amongst the tested entries
included in IYT during 2012, Rampur S03F08 recorded the highest grain yield (3609 kg/ha)
followed by Across 9531 (RE) (3474 kg/ha) and RPOP-1 (3223 kglha). Statistically, the
difference in days to flowering, plant height, ear height and grain yield due to genotypes was
found significant at 5% level. Similarly, same genotypes were planted in the year 2013 . Out
of the tested genotypes, Phraphuttabat S003 1 recorded the highest grain yield (5389 kg/ha)
followed by CEL-OHGY A x CELOH (5351 kg/ha) & Rampur S03F02 (53 12 kg/ha).
Statistically, the difference in days to maturity, plant height, ear height and grain yie ld among

river basin agro-environment of far western hills. Similarly, coordinated varietal trial of
maize was also conducted at RARS, Doti during 2012 and 20 13 . Fourteen genotypes of
maize including standard and local checks were included in the experiment of both years. The
experiment was planted in RCBD and it was replicated three times. Out of the tested
genotypes, RPOP-2 produced the highest grain yield (2645 kglha) followed by RPOP-1 (2407
kg/ha) and RPOP-3 (2268 kg/ha) during 2012. Statistically, the difference in days to
flowering, plant height and ear height due to genotypes was fow1d significant at I% level
whereas the difference in grain yield due to genotypes was found non-significant. The same

highest grain yield (4880 kglha) followed by RPOP-4 (4304 kg/ha) and RPOP-2 (3885 kg/ha).
Statistically, the differences in all the traits included in the experiment due to genotypes were

RPOP-2 (3415 kg/ha) and RPOP-4 (3286 kglha) as the promising genotypes for river basin
