Title : Constraints and Farmer’s Perception on Off Season Green Onion Production in Chitwan - A Survey Material Type: printed text Authors: M. Dhital, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 102-107 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Constraints, off season, green onion, farmers perception Abstract: The survey assessed the constraints and farmer’s perceptions on off season green
onion production in Shukranagar, Jagatpur and Gunjanagar VDCs in Chitwan, Nepal.
The primary data used for the investigation were obtained through the use of
questionnaire, focus group discussion and key informant survey. Thirty commercial
farmers and ten traders were randomly sampled for the study. Major constraints and
influencing factors for green onion production, and marketing system were looked into.
The study revealed that seedling raising was the most important problems faced by the
off season growers followed by weed problem, lack of crop insurance facility, and
diseases and pests. Lack of storage facility was the most important marketing problems
due to highly perishable nature of green onion followed by lack of appropriate
marketing facilities and fluctuation in the market price. Higher market price was the
major influencing factors for green onion cultivation followed by its short duration as
compared to bulb production which takes longer duration.

Title : Effect of Plant Population on Bulb Size and Yield of Marketable Bulbs of Onion Varieties during Off Season Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Shakya, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author ; S. K. Shah, Author ; A. Srivastava, Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 85-94 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Off season, onion, spacing, varieties Abstract: An experiment was conducted in Sunwal, Nawalparasi district of Nepal to assess the
effect of plant population on bulb size and marketable yield of two onion varieties
during rainy season of 2008. Two off season varieties of onion as main plot factor viz.
Agrifound Dark Red (AFDR) and N-53 and six different plant populations (125, 100,
83.34, 66.67, 50 and 33.34 plants per m2 ) obtained by using different spacings of 10×8,
10×10, 12×10,15×10, 20×10 and 20×15 cm as sub plot factors were used as
treatments and laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Marketable bulb
yield of AFDR (25.55 mt ha-1 ) was higher than that of N-53 (19.78 mt ha-1
). Marketable bulb yield was highest at closer spacing of 10×10 cm for both the varieties which was
26.97 mt ha-1 in AFDR and 22.48 mt ha-1 in N-53. The size of the bulbs increased with
increase in spacing. The most preferred size of bulb was found to be of diameter
between 3.5 to 5 cm whose yield was found highest (2.19 kg/plot) at the closest spacing
of 10×8 cm which was not statistically different from that (2.17 kg/plot) at the spacing
of 10×10 cm. The most preferred sized bulb yield showed a similar trend of increase
as total marketable bulb yield with decrease in spacing. The spacings of 12×10, 10×10
and 10×8 cm produced total marketable bulb yields which were not significantly
different from each other. The highest net return of Rs. 5,68,977 per hectare was found
at the spacing of 12×10 cm for the variety AFDR.

Bhurtyal, Author ; D.R. Bhattarai, Author Pagination: 419-421 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Onion, set planting, off season, bulb yield, income Abstract: Field experiments to assess the effect of six set planting dates on off-season onion bulb
production were carried out at Horticulture Research Division. Khumaltar ( 1360 mas/) for
four years from June to December mollths of 2000 to 2003. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Complete Block design with six treatments as planting date. Each treatn1ent was
replicated three times and two em diameter sets of Nasik Red cultivar produced in previous
season were used in the experiment. The result shows that the highest marketable mean bulb
yield per plot (5.7 kg) was produced (P<0.01) when the,$.t1tS were planted on (26 July) and
this date was followed by June 9 (5.2 kg per plot) and June 24 (4.1 kg per plot). The results
further showed that the low bulb yields in other plaming dates were due to non-bulbing,
thick neck and bolting. These findings had been retested at ten farmers' fields of Nala and
Sankhu Villages of Kavre district in collaboration with 1ntemational Development
Enterprises (IDE) and the results were very encouraging in the sense that these findings
have been accepted by farmers. Farmers of these villages reported that they will grow offseason
onion from sets in large areas in commercial scale in coming years. They further
reported that the average cash income per ropani received Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 25,000 on
adoption of these techtwlogy fam1ers within 70 days of set planting was.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=680 Effect of Set Planting Date on Off-Season Onion Bulb Production in Mid Hills [printed text] / Budhathoki, K., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; N G Pradhan, Author ; P.

Title : Evaluation of Tomato (Lycopersicum Esculentum L.) Genotypes in Farmer's Field for Rainy Season in the Western Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudel, K.B., Author ; Gautam, P., Author ; Regmi, H.N., Author ; J.N. Chaudhary, Author ; K. P. Upadhya, Author ; P. Dauwadi, Author ; ,Pokharel, D., Author ; B. Khatri, Author Pagination: 422-426 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Diseases, genotypes, rainy season, tomato, yield Abstract: The rainy season tomato has been stressed by various biotic and abiotic constraints. Among
various biotic stresses bacterial wilt, tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), late blight,
altemeria and septoria leaf spot are common where as the major abiotic constraints are high
temperature and high rainfall. Some tomato genot)pes were evaluated for resistallt to
bacterial wilt under glass house condition during 2001 rainy season at Lumle condition.
These different tomato genotypes along with other were evaluated in Gaunsahara (Lamjung),
Tenkilo (Gorkha), Hemja (Kaski) and Chambas (Tanahu) during 2058 and 2059 in plastic
house and open field condition for their yield potentials. The test was peiformed mainly
during rainy season. Some genotypes were found highly resistant to bacterial wilt in glass
house condition. The yield potential of N-162 was found 140 mt/ha followed by LTH -162
( 111. 11 mt/ha) under plastic house. Among the tested genotypes N-162 has produced the
highest fruit yield (83.3 mt/ha) and found to be resistant to bacterial wilt in farmers' field
condition at Kavre district. N-162 id ready to release for general cultivation.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=681 Evaluation of Tomato (Lycopersicum Esculentum L.)
