Title : ON-FARM VARIATION AND HOUSEHOLD DIVERSITY OF PIGEON PEA LANDRACES IN KACHORWA, NEPAL Material Type: printed text Authors: Joshi, Bal K., Author ; P. Shrestha, Author ; M.P. Upadhyaya, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 23-28 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Household diversity index, on-farm variation, pigeon pea, quant-qualitativetraits Abstract: Farmers value the diversity because of diverse environments both in production and
consumption. On-farm morphological variation on pigeon peas (2n = 2x= 22 or 4x, 6x?) was
studied at Kachorwa, Bara, Nepal to assess the household categories that have maintained
diversity. Household diversity Index (HDI) of 10 different farmer categories was estimated
based on Shanon-Weaver method. Eighteen quantitative and qualitative (quant-qualitative)
traits were used for on-farm variation and HDI studies. On farm ANOVA was generated on
eight quantitative traits. Highest diversity (HDI, 0.265) was maintained by farmer of
medium wealth category who grows pigeon pea in upland bund. Pigeon pea grown in khet
(low land) bund with Pajawa landrace expressed least diversity (HDI, 0.079). Pigeon pea
growing in monoculture was more diverse (HDI, 0.224) for 18 traits than in other production
environments. Maximum variation was observed in growth habit followed by seed color
pattern. The highest grain yield among the Chanki growers was produced by the farmer of
medium wealth category growing pigeon pea in upland bund. Significance variation among
farmers in quantitative traits indicates the intra varietal diversity in pigeon pea. Diversity
varied with respect to wealth category and production environments. Farmer who has
maximum diversity on pigeon pea could able to receive the higher grain yield. Result related
to where and who maintain the diversity may be useful for development of on-farm
conservation strategy. Possibility of developing good varieties exits using Pajawa and
Chanki landraces.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=23

Title : Agro-morphological Variability Study of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Landraces in Jumla, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Salik R. Gupta, Author ; ,Upadhyay, Madhusudan, Author ; Shah, U.S., Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 1-11 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Hordeum vulgare, landraces, morphological variation, on-farm,on-station Abstract: Barley is an important winter cereal crop in Jumla (2240-3000 masl), Nepal. It is grown in
different cropping patterns in both Khet and Bari land conditions. A total of 207 accessions
of barley landraces collected from various locations of Jumla were studied for agromorphological
characteristics in Khumaltar and Jumla. Data on eight qualitative and five
quantitative traits in 2-m row plot were recorded to assess diversity among the landraces.
Bhuwali, Chawali, Lekali and Pawai were four farmer-named traditional barley varieties
under cultivation in Jumla. A range of variability was observed among the accessions of
barley landraces. All accessions are six-row covered barley possessing rough awns and
whitish-brown grains. These landraces exhibit a range of variation in growth class, spike
density and rachilla hair length. Lekali and Pawai are adapted to the high-altitude area of
Jumla. Cluster analysis of measured data under on-farm and on-station conditions indicated
five distinct clusters. Three principal components explained 84.3% and 60.2% of the total
variation from on-station and on-farm, respectively.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=2
