Title : Evaluation of capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes for variety improvement | D. R. Bhattarai, S. K. Maharjan, I. P. Gautam, S. Subedi, and S. Pokhrel Material Type: printed text Authors: D. R. Bhattarai, Author ; Surya Kumar Maharjan, Author ; I. P. Gautam, Author ; S. Subedi, Author ; S. Pokhrel, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 139-144 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Physiological weight loss, shelf life, fruit yield Abstract: An experiment was done at Horticulture Research Division, Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), Khumaltar,
Nepal under polyhouse condition to access different traits of six capsicum genotypes: HRDCAP-001, HRDCAP-003,
HRDCAP-004, HRDCAP-005, HRDCAP-006, and California Wonder (check variety) with the objective to evaluate yield
and quality. The experiment was done by using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications for
each treatment. All the collected data were analyzed by using Gentstat statistical software package. Results revealed that
tested genotypes were significantly different (p California Wonder was the best for fruit length (86.11 mm), fruit width (70.45 mm), and fruit weight (126.12 g) while
HRDCAP-001 was superior in pericarp thickness (6.44 mm), fruit yield (2.46 kg per plant; 68.3 t/ha) and shelf life (6.80 days).
California Wonder had lowest physiological weight loss at different days after harvest. This study recognizes HRDCAP-001
to be a promising genotype. Hence, there is a possibility to release this genotype as a variety for commercial cultivation,
however, a multi location trial prior to its release is deemed necessary. Furthermore, all evaluated genotypes through this
research could be utilized for capsicum breeding in NepalLink for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Evaluation%20of%20capsicum%20%28Capsicum% [...]

Title : Food availability and consumption in relation to developing strategies for sustained production and supply in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Pokhrel, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 13-28 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Commodities, nutrition, sufficiency, balance, import Abstract: Nepal is classified as severe localized food insecure country with increasing import dependency ratio in each year. Relevant
literatures and available data were reviewed in 2018 to find the trend of food availability and consumption in relation to
developing strategies for sustained production and supply in Nepal. The per capita calories uptake is higher (2830 versus
2220 kcal) with higher in rural communities and to the richer families (4000 kcal/person/day). Whereas the protein and
edible oil and fat uptake is increasing, but are yet insufficient. The diet is mostly dominated by cereals and the consumption
of pulses, fruit, vegetables and animal products were comparatively lower. There is double burden of women under-nutrition
(18.2%) and over-nutrition (13.5%). At present, Nepal is self sufficient only on tea, coffee, and poultry eggs. Where the import
dependency ratio of fruit (88.1%), oils (83.5%) and pulses (73.4%) were very high and are in increasing trend. However, the
self sufficiency ratios of cereals (97.4%), vegetables (65.9%), potato (88.8%), milk (79%), sugar (62.6%) and meat (61%)
are still higher. Raising the productivity of cereals by 0.06 t/ha, vegetables 3.49 t/ha, potato/tubers 1.59 t/ha, spices 0.58 t/
ha, milk 0.30 t/head and a considerable increment of meat productivity could make the country self sufficient. Moreover, it is
very hard to be self sufficient on fruit, oilseed, and fish because of their small area coverage/herd sizes, low productivity and
long gestation period required. It is needed to prioritize the commodities for the allocation of production areas/heard sizes,
linking all the development/infrastructure programs and output based investment for improved food production, marketing
and consumption to restore national food sufficiency for livelihood support and economic resilience.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Food%20availability%20and%20consumption%2 [...]

Title : Fruit bagging with cloth bag: An eco-friendly and cost effective management method of cucurbit’s fruitfly (Bactocera cucurbiteae Coq.) on bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) in Kathmandu, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Pokhrel, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 49-56 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Anthesis, environment, safe practice Abstract: An experiment was cunducted during May-July 2018 in Nagarjun-1, Kathmandu, Nepal to evaluate the effectiveness and
timing of fruit bagging with cloth bag against cucurbit fruitfly (Bactocera cucurbiteae Coq.) on Bitter gourd (Momordica
charantia L.). Three treatments were used- fruit bagging with cloth bag within a day of anthesis, fruit bagging with cloth
bag in 2nd-3rd day of anthesis, and control (unbagged); each treatment with 30 replications. Analysis of variance was done
using GenStat and mean comparison by DMRT. Experiment results revealed that the average length, breath, gross weight
and the edible weight of the fruit bagged within a day of anthesis were significantly better than the fruit bagged on 2nd-3rd
day of anthesis, and control (unbagged) (length: 29.4, 20.25 & 12.78cm; breath: 14.83, 13.65 and 9.07cm; gross fruit
weight: 315.4, 207.43 and 113.37g/fruit; and the edible fruit weight: 100%, 73.42% and 10.43% ,respectively). There is an
imance need of cost effective, environmentally safe and perfect management practices against cucurbit fruit fly. For this, fruit
bagging with cloth bags earliest after the anthesis is recommended.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/5._Fruit_bagging_with_cloth_bag_An_eco-fr [...]
