Title : Variation on agro-morphological characteristics among Nepalies finger millet germplasm Material Type: printed text Authors: R.B Amgai, Editor ; T.B Chettri ; S. K. Budhathoki, Author ; M.P. Upadhyaya, Author ; Khatiwada, S.P., Author ; A Mudwari, Author Pagination: 193-196 p. Keywords: Finger millet ; Landrace variation qualitative quantitative Abstract: Finger millet is the 4111 important food crop in Nepal. It is major food for hilly region of the
country. Finger millet is CQnsidered as more nutritious cereal food. Nepal harbor a lot of the
finger millet germplasm variability across the country that have a lot of breeding value.
Therefore, four hundred and thirty nine finger millet accessions collected from different
parts of the country were evaluated for 19 different qualitative and quantitative traits during
normal finger millet growing season of2009 and 2010. Two rows of 1.5 m long with 20 em
spacing were used on augmented design with Daile, Okhale, Kahre Kodo-1 and GPU-48 as
check varieties. Seed was sown on both rows and plant spacing was maintained for 15 em
after 30 days of seedling emergence. Other cultivation practice was conducted as per
normal condition. A lot of variation was found for both traits. Days to 50% heading, days to
SO% maturity, Effective tiller, Finger no., no. of seed per finger and total grain per spike
varied from 48-101, 79-172, 1-6, 2-10, 65-2597 and 123-2775 respectively. A lot of
variation was also found on ear shape, ear size, grain covering, grain color, grain shape,
grain surface and pericarp persistence characteristics. This variation can be used for the
development of the finger millet varieties for niche specificity and broad adaptability.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=941 Variation on agro-morphological characteristics among Nepalies finger millet germplasm [printed text] / R.B Amgai, Editor ; T.B Chettri ; S.

Title : Variation on Nepalese buckwheat: agro-morphological characteristics Material Type: printed text Authors: S Pantha, Editor ; S. K. Budhathoki ; R.B Amgai, Author ; Khatiwada, S.P., Author Pagination: 230-235 p. Keywords: Sweet ; Tartary Chlorophyll lodging variation Abstract: Buckwheat is the major export food commodity of Nepal. It has food as well as medicinal
value too. Buckwheat is found cultivated from Inner Terai to high hill region of Nepal.
Therefore, Nepalese buckwheat should have a lot of variability that is adapted with
different niches. Fifty one common buckwheat and 36 tartaiy buckwheat accessions from
different parts of the country were evaluated for different agro-morphological traits during
spring season of 2010 and 2011 at Khumaltar, Lalitpur. The plot size was 1 m2 for each
entry. IR-13 for common buckwheat and Kabre local for tartaiy buckwheat was used as
standard check. A lot of variation was observed on 24 different characters. Days to 50%
flowering, no. of flower/cyme, no. of cyme/plant, seed no./cyme, 1000 grain weight and
seed length varies from 31-44, 17-38, 12-107,2.34-51.67, 15-30.52 g and 5.58-7.38 mm in
common buckwheat, and 54-70 days, 12-25.67, 13.34-81,2.67-46, 10.34-21.76 g and 3.89-
5.60 mm in tartary buckwheat respectively. Similarly, a lot of variation was found on
flower morphology, degree of determination, lodging, seed shape, leaf blade shape, and
plant height and branch no. too. The color of flower, leaf, leaf margin, stem, petiole and
seed were also found varied within buckwheat type also. Chlorophyll content on the final
completely opened leaf was found decreasing slowly till flowering, however, it was found
drastically depleted at the time of seed maturity in both type of the buckwheat. This type of
the variation observed in common buckwheat and tartary buckwheat will be useful for
buckwheat varietal development program in Nepal.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=949 Variation on Nepalese buckwheat: agro-morphological characteristics [printed text] / S Pantha, Editor ; S. K. Budhathoki ; R.B Amgai, Author ; Khatiwada, S.P., Author . - [s.d.] . - 230-235 p.

Title : Characterization and utilization of rice germplasms in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: SR Gupta ; HB KC, Author ; Upadhyay, M.P., Author Pagination: 402-407 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Genetic variation ; oryza rice landraces traits Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa LJ is the main cereal grain and an important staple food crop ofNepal. It
is grown in a wide range of agro ecological regions where landraces and improved varieties
coexist. High level of diversity in the form of landraces and their wild relatives indicates the
richness . in the genetic variation. A total of 13 7 accessio.zs of rice landraces were
characterized for ·morpho agronomic traits using IPGRIJIRRJ descriptors at Khumaltar
during 200212003. Eight quantitative and six qualitative traits were recorded to assess the
diversity in agro morphological traits among these landraces. A range of variability was
observed among the accessions of rice landraces. Altogether 3107, 1728 and 2030
accessions of Nepalese rice germplasms are conserved in the gene bank of ABD, Khumatar,
IRRI and NIAR, respectively. Six varieties of rice were developed and released for
commercial cultivation using local landraces. The examined /andraces of rice have high
variability for agro morphological traits, which can be used in crop improvement
programme. Characterization, conservation and utilization of such valuable resources would
provide a sustainable basis for rice improvement in future.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1129 Characterization and utilization of rice germplasms in Nepal [printed text] / SR Gupta ; HB KC, Author ; Upadhyay, M.P., Author . - [s.d.] . - 402-407 p.
