The current perspective of increasing global temperature makes heat stress as a major threat to wheat production worldwide. In order identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with tolerance, 251 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from cross between HD2808 (heat tolerant) and HUW510 susceptible) were evaluated under timely sown (normal) late stress) conditions for two consecutive crop seasons; 2013–14 2014–15. Grain yield (GY) its components namely, grain weight/spike (GWS),...
Heat stress, one of the major abiotic stresses in wheat, affects chlorophyll fluorescence and content thereby photosynthesis. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with these traits under terminal heat 251 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross HD 2808/HUW510 were phenotyped. Using composite interval mapping, 40 QTLs identified; 17 related to conditions after timely sowing 23 stress late sowing. The various parameters QTLs, which located on chromosomes 1A, 2A,...
Tephritid fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are the major damaging pest for Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thumb.) Matsum. & Nakai). The quality as well quantity of watermelon is greatly affected by fly. This study was conducted to test efficacy different traps and baits fly control. experiment designed in a randomized complete block design containing eight treatments three replications. Each treatment, 0.2 ml cue lure an attractant 0.1 malathion used toxicant except Treatments were...
Poor understanding of the genetic and molecular basis heat tolerance component traits is a major bottleneck in designing tolerant wheat cultivars. The impact terminal stress generally reported case late sown wheat. In this study, our aim was to identify genomic regions for various agronomic under conditions by using genome-wide association approach. An mapping panel 205 accessions evaluated at three different locations India. Genotyping revealed 15,886 SNPs, out which 11,911 SNPs with exact...
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) has been cultivated as an important cereal crop for more than 9,000 years and half of the world‘s population depend on rice it is their primary source energy. Almost 30% current world production represented by alone. It estimated that will reach 9.1 billion 2050 i.e. 34 percent higher today ensuring ample amount food nutrition to such large population, global consumption cereals need increase from 2.6 2.9 tonnes 2027. On other hand, impacts climate change in...
The present investigation was conducted to characterize 20 genotypes of sorghum {Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench} on the basis 33 morphological characters provided by Protection Plant Variety & Farmer’s Right Act (PPV&FRA) for Distinctiveness Uniformity and Stability (DUS) testing in sorghum. Experimental results revealed that maximum variation found glume colour among i.e. G 46, HC 308, HJ 513 had green white, IS 3237, SSG 9, 171 yellow 59-3, COFS 29 grayed purple, S 437-1, SGL-87,...
Potato possesses a huge potential for production in Nepal and is major source to ensure food nutritional security among people of mountainous region. The study was carried out four rural municipalities Mustang district assess the economics potato production. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire administered randomly 90 different farmers. collected data tabulated analysed using STATA. identified as profitable farming business with an average productivity 18.95 t/ha benefit-cost ratio...
The current research studied the F3 and F4 population derived from MAS25 (Aerobic rice) X IB370 (Lowland Basmati) for different physio-morphological traits under water limited aerobic condition in field net house. Frequency distribution curves various root were parabolic some cases, partially inclined towards respective rice parent. Phenotypic correlation coefficient analysis showed significant positive between grain yield per plant related yield-related attributes. These mapping contains...
A field experiment was conducted at Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project (Zone office), Bijuwar, Pyuthan from 18th April, 2017 to 12nd September, evaluate the efficacy of Trichoderma viride in management leaf blast diseases rainy season rice under conditions. The laid out two factors factorial Randomized Complete Block Design with five replications. treatment consisted varieties which one is improved and resistant disease (Sabitri) another local (Radha 7) rates (5 ml/lit. 0...
Tephritid fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are the major damaging pest for Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thumb.) Matsum. & Nakai]. Particularly, adult female puncture soft through ovipositor and lay an egg inside which turns into a larva damages whole fruit. This study was conducted to test efficacy of different traps baits fly control. The experiment designed in randomized complete block design containing eight treatments three replications. Each treatment, @0.2 ml cue lure as attractant...
Abstract. Khanal N, Panthi S, Pandey MP, Luitel H, Poudel RR, Bhusal N. 2024. Deciphering genetic variation of terminal heat stress-responsive traits in Nepalese wheat germplasm using phenotyping and functional marker analysis. Asian J Agric 8: 134-141. Development heat-tolerant cultivars is becoming more essential for the food security due to increasing impact global warming. In present study, bread accessions, along with check varieties were evaluated under late-sown stress conditions,...
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching materials on growth performance, and yield characters summer squash under water constraint condition during February May 2020 in Mahottari district, Nepal. Shlesha 1214 variety used laid single factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications an area about 600 m2. Four different black plastic mulch, silver rice straw mulch sawdust were as treatments, un-mulched plot serving control. The parameters found be...
