Abstract: |
Maize is the second important cereal crop in Nepal and staple crop for hill people. Mostly local and contaminated improved varieties are grown in rainfed condition with low yield potential. With the objective of identifying and developing suitable stable stress resistant/tolerant high yielding farmers preferred open pollinated .maize varieties, different genotypes were improved and evaluated in Intermediate Yield. Trial (IYT), Coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) and Coordinated Farmer's Field Trial (CFFT) in RCB design across hill environments (Pakhribas, Kahre, Khumaltar, Dailekh & Lumle) of Nepal during 2010, 2011 and 2012 summer containing 12, 9 and 6 genotypes respectively. During 2010 summer, the genotypes TLBRS07F16, Resunga Composite and Celaya OOHGYA*HGYB produced significantly highest grain yield in IYT across the locations. In CVT the superior stable genotypes across the locations were OEHPW, RamS04F08 and RamS04F04. Similarly, in CFFT the selected genotypes across the locations were Across9942 /Across9944 and Deuti. The combined result across the locations during 2011 revealed that in IYT the genotypes Manakamana-3, Resunga composite and Rampur S10F18A were superior for grain yield. Genotypes tested across the locations under CVT revealed that TLBRS07F16, CelayaOOHGYA*HGYB and RampurS03F04 were superior to farmer's variety for grain yield and other agronomic traits. Similarly, in CFFT over the locations, TLBRS07Fl6 produced significantly highest grain yield than standard check Manakamana- 3. During 2012, three NMRP developed hybrids were also included in CVT sets across the hill stations. Among the OPVs in CVT, RampurS03F08 and CelayaHGYA *HGYB were significantly superior for grain yield and other agronomic traits and among the hybrids RML-4/RML-17 and RML-32/RML-17 produced more than 8 tlha grain yield across the locations. Similarly genotypes tested under IYT revealed that ZM-401, 07SADVI and TLBRS07FI4 were found significantly superior for grain yield and resistant reaction against foliar diseases. Furthermore, genotypes tested under CFFT showed that Across9942/Across9944, P501SRCOIP502SRCO and Rampur S03F06 produced more than 6 tlha grain yield at farmer's field across the locations. |
