Public ISBD 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 on buckwheat under different agro-ecological zones of Nepal / Koirala, K.B.

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.
