Title : Effect of Bioregulators on Spring-Summer Season Okra Cultivarion Under Inner Terai Condition of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: U. K. Acharya, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author Pagination: 362-365 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: growth regulators, okra, seed soaking, Triacontanol Abstract: A study was conducted at Rampur, Chitwan from April 2 to June 20, 2003 in a split plot
design with three replication by using two commercial okra cultivars Arka Anamika and
Parvani Krallli and four growth regulators. The growth regulators Gibberellic acid (GA3)
(50 ppm), 2,4-D (5 ppm), Ethrel (200 ppm) and Triacontanol (0.5 ml/lt) and simfJie water as
control were used for 24 hr seed soaking (except Ethrel) and as spray of all growth
regulators at 30 day after sowing (DAS) and second spray of Triacontanol at 45 DAS. The
effect of GA3 on seed germination was found 24.5% higher than the control. The effect of
Triacontanol on plant height (191.3 em) was significantly higher than control (140.2 em).
The same growth regulator showed loll'est node to flowering (3.2) and days to 50% flowering
(4/days) and these were four nodes and 44 days in the case of control. The highest number of
fruits/ plant (24.9) and the highest productivity (29.98 tlha) were observed from Triacontanol
and these were 16./% and 16.72% more titan control treatment respectivel)' The effect of
two varieties and interaction among varieties and growtlt regulators for all above variables
were statistically non significant. The easiness of preparing Triacontanol solution simply by
mixing 0.5 ml of its commercial formulation per liter of tap water and its promising effect on
vegetative growth, reproductive behavior and yield attribute of the crop makes it a promising
growth regulator for okra growers as compared to otl1er growth regulators for early and
more production. Further research is suggested for confirmation as it is based on one
season.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=575 Effect of Bioregulators on Spring-Summer Season Okra Cultivarion Under Inner Terai Condition of Nepal [printed text] / U. K. Acharya, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author . - [s.d.] . - 362-365 p.

Title : Effect of Sowing Dates in Economic Return from Okra Varieties in Spring-Summer in Chitwan, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Tika R. Chapagain, Author ; Shanta Man Shakya, Author ; Moha Dutta Sharma, Author ; Yubak Dhoj G.C., Author Pagination: 246-250 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Net return, okra, spring season, sowing dates, varieties Abstract: An experiment was carried out at IAAS, horticulture farm to determine the effect of
sowing dates in economic return from okra varieties in spring sum'!ler in inner-terai
region of Ghitwan Nepal. Five. varieties of okra namely; Anokhi (Ft), Parvani Kranti, Arka
Anamika, Shagt.in and K-51 were planted at four different dates(~ March- 1ff' April) at
15 days interval with three replications in split plot design. A case study was also carried
out in Gunjanagar VDG of Ghitwan district to compare the cultivation costs of research
plot and on farm okra production. The highest net return (Rs 238,495.0/ha) .was obtained
from~ March sowing. However, the highest cultivation cost (Rs 98,920:0Jha) required
for the crop sown on 1 th March. The highest net return (Rs 273,387. 0/ha) was obtained
from Anokhi from ~ March sowing and the lowest net return was obtained from Parvani
Kmati (Rs 80,428.0) from 1st April sowing. The highest BIG ratio (2.81) was obtained
from Arka Anamika from ~ March sowing. During .case study, 4 different sowing times
were identified as major sowing times (1st week of February, 1st week of March, ~ week
of March & ~ week of July). The net return was higher (Rs 255, 400.0/ha) from 1st week
of February sowing. The highest BIG ratio (2.91)- was observed in the crop sown in 1st
week of March due to comparatively higher productivity and lower cultivation cost as
compared to 1st week of February.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=255 Effect of Sowing Dates in Economic Return from Okra Varieties in Spring-Summer in Chitwan, Nepal [printed text] / Tika R.

Parbani Kranti) to sulphur and boron for yield and quality of seed in farm conditions of ARS Malepatan, Pokhara Material Type: printed text Authors: Ghimire, J., Author ; Pathak, H.P., Author ; Ghimire, S.C., Author Pagination: 166-170 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Boron, okra, seed production, sulphur Abstract: Seed yield and quality of crop varieties depends on various soil factors including available nutrients. Limited research works have been accomplished in Nepal on response of okra variety to specific nutrients. A field experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station (Horticulture) Malepatan Pokhara during spring summer seasons of 2004 and 2005 to determine the response of okra variety Parbhani Kranti to sulphur and boron for better yield and quality seed production………………..
