The present study analyses the gaps and issues in the production and distribution system of potato seeds in Nepal. Households’ survey combined with focus group discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews (KII) were carried out to collect the information. Gross benefit and descriptive statistics were employed for the analysis of the data. Results revealed that National Potato Research Program (NPRP) and some private companies were responsible for the zero generation Pre-Basic Seeds (PBS) production. National Centre for Potato, Vegetables and Spice Crops Development Program (NCPVSCDP) collects the seed demand and helps in potato seed certification at the farmers’ level. The current production is inadequate to meet the demand. As the present potato productivity is 16.72 mt ha-1 which is less than projected by National Seed Vision (NSV), reducing the yield gap is one of the important ways to meet the demand. The Gross benefit per hectare of first-generation basic potato seed (BS1) was NRs 14, 66,667 ($ 12,759) and second-generation basic potato seed (BS2) was NRs 9, 20, 667 ($ 8,009). However, the potato seed system is not working effectively in Nepal. Therefore, the adoption of improved potato varieties should be extensive through a strong mechanism for maintaining the full seed cycle and its proper distribution. Further, it is equally important to change the perception of farmers by showing the comparative benefit of growing ware potato and seed potato.

Faba bean (Vica faba L.) is important crop of Nepal which is grown in all climatic zone of country. Different insect pests are host of faba bean but black bean aphid Aphis fabae Scop. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is of more concern. Most of the farmer shifted to another crop due to A. fabae problem. Different insecticide have been sprayed to manage this aphid but most of the farmer were unable control them. However, very limited research were conducted for its ecofriendly management. Thus, we evaluate different insecticides such as nitenpyram, flonicamid, imidacloprid, dimethoate, azadirachtin, and neem oil on laboratory. Scintillating glass vial test and filter paper test were employed. Higher number of aphid mortality were found on dimethoate with LT50 value of 15.93 hour followed by nitenpyram, and imidacloprid with 18.61 and 32.87 hour, respectively on scintillating glass vial test. On filter paper test, LT50 of dimethoate was 27.34 hour followed by imidacloprid and nitenpyram with 49.51 and 53.44, respectively. Similarly, higher lady bird beetle Coccinella septempunctata Linn (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) mortality were also caused by dimethoate with LT50 value of 63.38 hour followed by imidacloprid and nitenpyram with 153.21 188.42 hour. Our result suggested that nitenpyram or imidacloprid could be used for ecofriendly management of A. fabae with low mortality of its predator C. septempunctata. However precautionary measure has to be taken before applying them and waiting period has to be maintained for harvesting.

Published: February 2023

Mastitis is an economically important disease of dairy cattle worldwide. To assess its economic impact, a study was conducted in 384 households from eight districts namely Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari, Sarlahi, Chitwan, Rupandehi, Makawanpur and Kavre of Nepal having major dairy pockets, higher number of cattle population and higher number artificial insemination records. A semi-structured questionnaire was designed, pretested and asked with the respondents having dairy cattle. A focus group discussion was made with the members of dairy cooperatives, service providers from the government and private sectors including veterinarians, paraprofessionals and development workers. The key informant’s interview was performed with livestock experts from veterinary laboratories, veterinarians from Department of Livestock Services (DLS) and Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) to identify and triangulate the economic loss caused by clinical and subclinical mastitis. The survey results showed that an estimated loss of 8320 million Nepalese rupees (around 64 million USD) for sub-clinical mastitis and 4430 million rupees (around 34 million USD) for clinical mastitis. Dairy cattle suffering from mastitis also showed the higher incidence of infertility. The probability of infertility in mastitis affected cattle is 11% higher as compared non affected cattle. It is recommended to initiate the effective mastitis control program immediately which also helps to reduce the incidence of infertility in dairy cattle.

Authors: Gautam Anil , Shrestha Abhishek
Published: February 2023

An experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating panicle architecture traits of different genotypes of rice in relation to yield during June to November 2020. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications and forty-two treatments. The graphical user interface used image analysis tool Panicle Trait Phenotyping (PTRAP) was used to record architecture and yield related traits. Among genotypes, the highest yield was found in high yielding late variety Sampurna (6.1t/ha) with highest number of both primary (16.33) and secondary branches (53.33). Four different types of panicle size-irregular, conical, diamond like and pyramid shaped panicle were identified in 42 genotypes. Correlation analysis revealed significant (p=0.05) and positive correlation of grain yield with architecture traits i.e., number of primary branches (r=0.88), length of primary branches (r=0.89), number of secondary branches(r=0.69), number of nodes (r=84). The correlation between spikelet number and other variables related to number of primary branches was higher than correlation with variables related to length of primary branch. The increase in number of panicle rachis length, number of primary and secondary branches and length of primary branches resulted in increased spikelet number per panicle and grain yield. It can be concluded the architectural traits like rachis length, number of primary secondary branches, and secondary branches and length of primary branches were the most important in improving panicle architecture and crop yield.

ABSTRAKKecamatan Lembak yang berada di Desa Tapus merupakan salah satu daerah yang berada di Kabupaten Muara Enim yang memiliki potensi sumber daya alam yang sangat bagus. Kecamatan Lembak menjadi tujuan utama (Placeholder1)untuk pelaksanakan KKN - Tematik Universitas IGM. Salah satu potensi alam yang dimiliki Desa Tapus adalah perkebunan nanas. Di Desa Tapus ini memiliki jenis tanah yang kering yang mengandung pasir dan mengandung kapur yang rendah, dengan begitu sangat cocok untuk dibuat perkebunan nanas. Dengan adanya hasil nanas ini, banyak warga sekitar yang menjadikan nanas sebagai salah satu mata pencarian mereka. Namun sayangnya, dengan banyak warga yang mempunyai perkebunan nanas ini menjadikan harga nanas menjadi sangat rendah dan tidak dapat dimanfaatkan dengan baik. Maka dengan diadakannya pelaksanakan KKN - Tematik Universitas IGM ini, kami sebagai mahasiswa bertujuan untuk memajukan UMKM yang ada di Desa Tapus ini dengan membantu warga sekitar bagaimana cara memanfaatkan hasil nanas dengan baik, yaitu menjadikan selai, meneliti bahan pokok yang berpotensi dapat berkembang, dan mengajarkan bagaimana menjual, mempromosikan, bahkan memproduksi hasil nanas agar dapat diperjual belikan dengan harga yang tinggi dengan kualitas yang baik. Maka dari itu, kami sebagai mahasiswa berharap dapat membantu UMKM yang ada di Desa Tapus menjadi berkembang lebih baik lagi. Kata kunci: UMKM; pemberdayaan; nanas ABSTRACTLembak Subdistrict, located in Tapus Village, is one of the areas in Muara Enim Regency which has very good natural resource potential. Lembak District is the main goal for implementing the IGM University Thematic KKN. One of the natural potentials of Tapus village is pineapple plantation. In Tapus Village, the type of dry soil that contains sand and contains low lime is very suitable for making pineapple plantations.
