To identify superior quality protein maize genotypes for grain yield under different agro climatic conditions of terai and hill districts in Nepal, the coordinated varietal trials (CVT) were conducted at Dailekh, Doti, Salyan, Lumle Pakhribas 2013 Kabre 2014 during summer season farmer’s field (CFFT) Surkhet Dailekh Khumaltar season. The experiment was carried out using randomized complete block design with three replications CVT CFFT. Across locations years found S01SIYQ, S01SIWQ-2 Poshilo...
Considering the context of climate change and food security issues poor, marginalized vulnerable farmers; there is urgent need characterization traits its correlation in different genotypes finger millet for development elite variety Nepal.A field research was carried out at agronomy hill crop program (HCRP), kabre, Dolakha from June to November, 2017in order identify phenotypic variability trait Nepalese landraces create promote production stability neglected crops, millet.The experiment...
Lack of suitable barley varieties that exhibit high yielding is the major factor among several production constraints contributing to low productivity in Nepal. The present study was done evaluate and recommend best performing genotypes. This conducted at research field Hill Crops Research Program (HCRP), Dolakha, Nepal under National observation nursery (NON), initial evaluation trial (IET), coordinated varietal trials (CVT) farmer's (FFT) during winter seasons from 2017 2018. results these...
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...
Development of a crop variety with high grain yield and stability in test locations is an important part breeding program. Thirteen foxtail millet genotypes were evaluated randomized complete block design three replications Jumla Dolakha, Nepal from April to August consecutive years 2017, 2018, 2019. The objective this study was analyze adaptability applying genotype main effect plus by environment interaction (GGE) biplot analysis. results showed that yields significantly (P<0.05)...
A field experiment was carried out during 2020, 2021 and 2022 to study the response of finger millet on fertilizer doses at Hill Crops Research Program, Kabre, Dolakha. The consists seven treatments with different nutrient combination doses, replicated thrice laid in randomized complete block design. tested variety Kabre Kodo-2. Seven were 5 t FYM /ha (farmers practice), 30:30:30 N:P2O5:K2O kg/ha, 30:60:30 60:30:30 60:60:30 90:30:30 kg/ha 90:60:30 respectively. results showed that grain...
There has been very limited work on the malting quality of barley grown in Nepal. This used completely randomized experiment for seven genotypes, namely Xveola-45, Coll#112-114/Muktinath, Xveola-38, Solu uwa, NB-1003/37-1038, NB-1003/37-1034, and Bonus, collected from Hill Crop Research Program (Dolakha, Nepal) to study effect genotypes chemical composition functional properties malt. Barley was steeped 24 hr followed by 72 germination room temperature (25 ± 3°C). Germinated dried (45°C/6...
Maize crop is affected by several diseases, but Gray leaf spot (GLS), the major disease that threat maize production in every year mid-hills and high-hills of Nepal. To identify source resistant on gray genotypes were screened/evaluated under hot spots during 2013 2014 summer seasons across hill environment In screening nursery both exotic(CIMMYT China) NMRP developed included screened at Pakhribas, Dhungkharka, Supping Salyan & replicated conditions. The identified high yielding...
Lack of understanding regarding the choice chemical fungicides or botanicals with their optimal doze and spraying schedule is one major problems concerning mid-hill farmers to control finger millet diseases in Nepal. In order assess effectiveness four fungicides, namely Bavistin 50 WP (Carbendazim 50%), SAAF 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP), RIDOMIL-MZ 72 (Metalyxl 8% 64% BAAN 75 (Tricyclazole 75%), two botanicalsermented anaerobically cattle urine, an artificial epiphytotic field. years 2018 2019,...

Analysis of genetic diversity and variability is an initial step for crop development in a plant breeding program. Thirty foxtail millet genotypes were evaluated their ten agro-morphological traits viz. grain yield, days to heading, maturity, height, leaf length, width, number nodes per tiller, panicle thousand-grain weight, blast during April August season 2018 at Kabre, Dolakha, Nepal. Clustering was done based on observed among the all by average linkage method. The grouped into six...
