| 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. |
