Title : Evaluation of finger millet genotypes for river basin area of mid-western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: K.R Pokhrel, Editor ; Dhakal, J.P. ; T. B. Ghimire, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author Pagination: 179-183 p. Keywords: On station trial ; farmers field trials mother genotypes river basin area Abstract: Finger millet( Elusinecoracana) is a fourth most important food crop of Nepal occupying
area of2,99,523 hectare, with the production and productivity of3,02,691 metric tons and
1.12 metric tons/ ha. respectively. Limited availability of improved varieties is one of the
prime reason for low average productivity of finger millet in Nepal. With the view to
identify superior genotypes for river basin areas of mid-western hill, various genotypes
obtained from Hill Crop Research Program. Kavre, Dolakba, were tested at Agriculture
Research Station, Dasarathpur,Surkhet and its outreach sites, during 2011 and 2012. In on
station trial the genotypes were highly significant for days to SO% panicle emergence and
days to 75% maturity. Significant difference was also observed for grain yield, number of
finger per plant, and lodging, while genotypes were significantly not different for straw
yield, plant height, and thousand seed weight. Based on the combined result of2011 and
2012, genotype ACC#2827-1 (2361 Kglha.) was found top grain yielder followed by
ACC#2324-1(2044Kglha.) and Local Check (1553Kg/ha.). In farmers' field and mother
trials the genotypes were highly significant for grain yield. Under ·these trials, genotype
GPU-0025 was found superior among all other genotypes.Evaluation of finger millet genotypes for river basin area of mid-western hills of Nepal [printed text] / K.R Pokhrel, Editor ; Dhakal, J.P. ; T. B. Ghimire, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author . - [s.d.] . - 179-183 p.

Title : Performance evaluation of promising genotypes of finger millet at ARS , Dailekh Material Type: printed text Authors: Dhakal, J.P., Editor ; B Ghimire ; A Pokharel, Author ; Sharma, S.R., Author Pagination: 126-129 p. Keywords: Finger millet ; genotypes performance evaluation Abstract: Among the cereals crops finger millet is even grown by the maximum farmers of the mid
western region. Keeping this fact in consideration, Agricultual Research Station, Dailekh
conducted varietal experiments on finger millet during two summer season of 2011 and
2012. Nine CVT genotypes received from Hill crop research program (HCRP) Kahre,
Dolakha. The coordinated varietal trial was laid out in RCB Design with three replication to
identify the suitable genotypes in the region. Significant differences were observed among
the tested genotypes in coordinated varietal trial. Over all performances of finger millet
genotypes KLE -192 (2768 kglha), GE 5001 (2719 kglha), ACC#523-1(2653 kglha),
ACC#2827-1 (2507 kglha) and ACC#433-1 (2449 kglha) in CVT were found impressive
and identified the best performer over the year. The better genotypes of CVT need to
promote to coordinated farmers field trial.Performance evaluation of promising genotypes of finger millet at ARS , Dailekh [printed text] / Dhakal, J.P., Editor ; B Ghimire ; A Pokharel, Author ; Sharma, S.R., Author . - [s.d.] . - 126-129 p.

Title : Varietal investigation of finger millet under different agro-ecological regions of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Koirala, K.B., Editor ; K Baral ; S Subedi, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; J Dhaka, Author ; KC, G., Author ; A.P Paudel, Author ; A Timilsina, Author ; HK Prasai, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author Pagination: 173-178 p. Keywords: Varietal investigation ; finger millet agro-ecological regions Abstract: With the changing climate scenario there is a potential threat in the yield of available Finger
millet (Eleusine coracana Gaertn) varieties. In order to identify the potential genotype/s
with desirable agro-morphological characters and wider adaptability Hill Crop Research
Program is developing research design along with its execution. Finger millet genotypes
were evaluated in a sequence of field experiments such as National Observation Nursery
(NON), Initial Evaluation Trial (lET), Coordianted Varietal Trial (CVT) and Farmers Field
Trial (FFT). NON was laid in non-replicated Rod row design. While, lET, CVT and FFT
were in RCB design with 3 replications, 16, 12 and 6 varieties as treatments, respectively.
Research was conducted at different stations having diverse agro-climatic conditions with
recommended cultural practices during two consecutive summer season of2011 and 2012.
From series of experiment over diverse locations, genotype/s that had stable performance
over location or site specific genotype was obtained. With emphasis on morphological
characters and their association some genotypes were identified statistically significant to
optimize the research work of Hill Crop. From lET hill set, KLE-298, DR-2, KLE-236,
ACC#513 with yield more than 3 ton per hectare were obtained superior. ACC 2827-1,
KLE 158, GPU 0025, KLE 192, ACC 433-1, ACC 523-1, GE 0116 and GE 5001 all
yielding more than 4 ton per hectare were sorted out as promising genotypes from CVT.
From lET mountain KLE-236, ACC#2843, GE-0012, GE-0122, ACC#0124, KLE-178,
ACC#2311 have been identified as superior. GE-0150, GE-0480, GE-01 16, KLE-159,
KLE-236, ACC# 433-1 had shown superiority to be included in FFT. ACC#433-1 and
KLE-236 are found to perform comparably under both hill and mountain conditions. For
hills, genotypes GPU 0025 (2.66 tlha) and KLE-158 (2.33 t/ha) could be recommended.
Similarly, NE 1703-34 and 433-1 could be proposed for high hills and mountains.Varietal investigation of finger millet under different agro-ecological regions of Nepal [printed text] / Koirala, K.B., Editor ; K Baral ; S Subedi, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; J Dhaka, Author ; KC, G., Author ; A.P Paudel, Author ; A Timilsina, Author ; HK Prasai, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author . - [s.d.] . - 173-178 p.

Title : Varietal investigation on buckwheat under different agro-ecological zones of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Koirala, K.B., Editor ; K Baral ; S Subedi, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; J Dhaka, Author ; KC, G., Author ; A.P Paudel, Author ; A Timilsina, Author ; HK Prasai, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author Pagination: 168-172 p. Keywords: Varietal investigation ; Buckwheat Agro-ecological zones Abstract: Productivity of common (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and tatary buckwheat
(Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn) is very low around 0.9 tlha. Series of field experiments as
National Observation Nusery (NON), Initial Evaluation Trial (lET), Coordinated Varietal
Trial (CVT) and Farmers Field Trial (FFT) of two buckwheat species viz. common and
tatary were conducted. NON was laid out in non-replicated Rod-row and lET, CVT and
FFT were in RCB design with 3 replications, 16, 12 and 6 genotypes as treatments,
respectively. Research was carried out with recommended agronomic practices at diverse
locations to develop high yielding and adaptive genotypes during two successive summer
season of 2011 and 2012. Agro-morphological traits were used for the selection of
genotypes. There was no significant difference in terms of yield attributing characters
among the genotypes in all of the trials. However, T-Vaskar, GF-5099 and CBBP-03 in
common buckwheat and Sample-6-1, sample-9 ACC# 6506 in tartary buckwheat showed
better performance in CVT. FFT trials of Common buckwheat showed T-Vaskar (1282
kg/ha), GF 5289 (1205 kglha) and IR-13 (1212 kg/ha) as promising lines in the year 2012.
Likewise, FT -25-2-3, Sample-S and ACC 2223 of tartary buckwheat were obtained
promising.Varietal investigation on buckwheat under different agro-ecological zones of Nepal [printed text] / Koirala, K.B., Editor ; K Baral ; S Subedi, Author ; A Pokharel, Author ; J Dhaka, Author ; KC, G., Author ; A.P Paudel, Author ; A Timilsina, Author ; HK Prasai, Author ; Pokharel, B.B., Author . - [s.d.] . - 168-172 p.
