This study was conducted during summer 2015 at Regional Agriculture Research Station, Dipayal, Doti, Nepal to estimate the genotypic and phenotypic variability, heritability, genetic advance correlation on grain yield associated traits using 26 genotypes of lowland irrigated rice. Analysis variance revealed existence significant difference for days flowering, maturity, plant height, panicle length, thousand weight yield. High heritability estimated flowering (0.88), maturity (0.79), (0.48)...
Rice, the world’s most vital crop with over 40,000 varieties cultivated for 8 to 13 thousand years, produced around 520.65 million metric tons annually—largely in China, India, and Bangladesh—while nearly half global population relies on it as a primary food source, facing significant challenges rainfed areas that impede productivity. This study evaluated 24 rice genotypes, including 22 pipeline from National Rice Research Program (NRRP) Dhanusa two checks, Bahaguni-2 Sabitri. The...
Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staples in Nepal providing bulk food calories and at least 30% Fe Zn intake 20% dietary energy protein consumption; thus, it essential to improve its nutritional quality. To select high-yielding genotypes with elevated grain zinc iron concentration, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth HarvestPlus Yield Trials (HPYTs) were conducted across diverse locations for four consecutive years: 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, using 47 biofortified 3...
Detailed information on the genetic diversity between maize germplasm (Zea mays L.) is useful for their systematic and efficient use in breeding programs. Fourteen early genotypes were studied to assess performance genotypic at Doti, Nepal 2015. Days tasseling, days silking, plant height, ear length, diameter grain yield significant among genotypes. Genotype SO3TEY-PO-BM, COMPOL-NIOBP ACROSS-99402 found higher yielder with earlier maturity. tasseling (0.85), silking (0.82), height (0.79),...
Hybrid plays an important role in production and productivity increment of maize potential pockets middle hills. With objective identifying hybrids for hill environments, coordinated varietal trials on were conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications various stations during summer 2014/15 2015/16. During 2014/015, significant differences recorded among the genotypes at Khumaltar Pakhribas, where non-significant Kabre grain yield. Combined results yield revealed...
In addition to being a major source of food, feed, and fodder, maize is one the important cereals for livelihood hill farmers in Nepal. Low productivity western hills Nepal has traditionally been associated with absence high yielding varieties. The purpose this study was find single cross hybrids that would be highly productive adaptable summer planting An alpha lattice design three replications used evaluate hundred hybrids, including checks at NMRP, Rampur; DoAR, Surkhet; Doti during...
<title>Abstract</title> Rice (<italic>Oryza sativa</italic> L.) was first domesticated in China around 9,000 years ago, is a key global food source providing approximately 130 kilocalories per 100-gram serving, and the rice market projected to reach record production of 527.6 million tons 2024/25. The Multi-Trait Genotype-Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI) an effective tool for selecting desirable genotypes breeding programs, aimed at enhancing genetic diversity crop performance by integrating...
In order to determine G × E interaction of quality protein maize grain yield, six genotypes were evaluated under different environments three Terai (Chitwan, Surkhet and Doti) four mid hill (Dhankuta, Lalitpur, Dolakha Kaski) districts Nepal during summer seasons 2014 2015. The experiments conducted using randomized complete block design along with replications. namely S99TLYQ-B, S99TLYQ-HG-AB S03TLYQ-AB-01 identified high yielding better adapted for yield 4199 kg ha-1, 3715 3336 ha-1...
Station, Surkhet to identify and select high yielding major diseases pests' resistant genotypes.Twenty-four genotypes identified from IRRI/STRASA experiment were taken for evaluation in RCB design with 3 replications under low fertilizer dose.Genotypes IR 83376-B-B-7-1, 877761-52-1-2-2, 95840-33-3-2-1 82608-B-B-33-2 found drought resistance, early maturing.So, these would help food security western region of Nepal where average rainfall is prevailing during rice growing months.
To evaluate the comparative superiority of exotic hermetic seed storage bags versus locally available supplemented with or without desiccants for on-farm smallholders, an experiment was conducted in National Seed Science and Technology Research Centre (NSSTRC) Nepal Agricultural Council (NARC) from May 2017 to June 2019. Maize variety Manakamana-3 allocated 8 treatments based on devices three replications a completely randomized design (CRD). The 98% initial germinating stored eight...
