Title : Effect of Bioregulators on Spring-Summer Season Okra Cultivarion Under Inner Terai Condition of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: U. K. Acharya, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author Pagination: 362-365 p. Languages : English Keywords: growth regulators, okra, seed soaking, Triacontanol Abstract: A study was conducted at Rampur, Chitwan from April 2 to June 20, 2003 in a split plot
design with three replication by using two commercial okra cultivars Arka Anamika and
Parvani Krallli and four growth regulators. The growth regulators Gibberellic acid (GA3)
(50 ppm), 2,4-D (5 ppm), Ethrel (200 ppm) and Triacontanol (0.5 ml/lt) and simfJie water as
control were used for 24 hr seed soaking (except Ethrel) and as spray of all growth
regulators at 30 day after sowing (DAS) and second spray of Triacontanol at 45 DAS. The
effect of GA3 on seed germination was found 24.5% higher than the control. The effect of
Triacontanol on plant height (191.3 em) was significantly higher than control (140.2 em).
The same growth regulator showed loll'est node to flowering (3.2) and days to 50% flowering
(4/days) and these were four nodes and 44 days in the case of control. The highest number of
fruits/ plant (24.9) and the highest productivity (29.98 tlha) were observed from Triacontanol
and these were 16./% and 16.72% more titan control treatment respectivel)' The effect of
two varieties and interaction among varieties and growtlt regulators for all above variables
were statistically non significant. The easiness of preparing Triacontanol solution simply by
mixing 0.5 ml of its commercial formulation per liter of tap water and its promising effect on
vegetative growth, reproductive behavior and yield attribute of the crop makes it a promising
growth regulator for okra growers as compared to otl1er growth regulators for early and
more production. Further research is suggested for confirmation as it is based on one
season.Link for e-copy: http://nepaknol.org.np/narc/dl/?r=575 Effect of Bioregulators on Spring-Summer Season Okra Cultivarion Under Inner Terai Condition of Nepal [printed text] / U. K. Acharya, Author ; Shakya, S.M., Author . - [s.d.] . - 362-365 p.

Title : A new approach on time and method of nitrogen application for seed production of radish var. mino early in mid western hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: U. K. Acharya, Author ; Gautam, I.P., Author Pagination: 185-189 p. Languages : English Abstract: An experiment was conducted to assess effect of different methods and time of nitrogen fertilizer application for seed production of Mino Early radish. Eight method and time packages of nitrogen (urea) application were evaluated in RCB design with three replications for two years 2004/05 and 2005/06. The plot size was 6.48 m2 (2.4-m x 2.7-m) and the seed was sown in 1st week of October. Seed was sown at a spacing of 60 x 45-cm2 and there were 24 plants after thinning on each plot. Days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and test weight were found not influenced by nitrogen fertilizer application package………….

Title : What Can Be Done to Improve Citrus Production in Dailekh District of Nepal? Material Type: printed text Authors: U. K. Acharya, Author ; Ghimire, K., Author ; KP Timsina, Author Pagination: 15-25 p. Languages : English Abstract: In the Dailekh district, despite steady increase in area devoted to citrus production productivity
was not increased as anticipated. Therefore, this study was conducted to establish the present state
of citrus cultivation and associated problems. The study was conducted during September 2008 in
three citrus production villages of Dai/ekh district: Goganpani, Lankuri and Du//u. Sixty citrus
growers were selected randomly from the a list of total that is twenty in each of three villages and
participated in semi-structured questionnaire, focus group discussions and orchard visits. Eighty
percent farmers used seedling plants and only five percent of farmers used chemical fertilizer.
Further, only 10% of farmers had assured irrigation so rest had adopted rain-fed system. Growers
were in fulse belief thul inlercropping cereals increases citrus production due to be//er aeration a/
root zone by plowing. All orchards were affected by pests and diseases because of a limited access
to chemical control measure and a lack of knowledge meant that proper control measures were not
employed. Further, improper post-harvest handling caused farmers to receive lower prices for their
product. Integrated plant nutrient and pest management programs need to be adopted by R &D
partners for these production areas. Farmers have to be encouraged to plant grafted sapling
because these are free from bacterial and viral diseases and can better withstand water stress. It is
suggested that R and D partners organize training and awareness programs on proper orchard and
nursery management, and post-harvest handling and marketing processes.Link for e-copy: http://nepaknol.org.np/narc/dl/?r=1596 What Can Be Done to Improve Citrus Production in Dailekh District of Nepal?
