On-farm and off-farm responses
On-farm diversity assessment and evaluation of finger millet genotypes in the mid-hills of Nepal
The objective of the study is to assess the phenotypic diversity among the finger millet genotypes and evaluate overall performance for the recommendation of genotypes to the farming community of mid hills of Nepal. The overall performance of 8 candidate genotypes selected from diversity block of 46 varieties in 2015, were assessed in randomized co...

In situ conservation—harnessing natural and human-derived evolutionary forces to ensure future crop adaptation
Ensuring the availability of the broadest possible germplasm base for agriculture in the face of increasingly uncertain and variable patterns of biotic and abiotic change is fundamental for the world's future food supply. While ex situ conservation plays a major role in the conservation and availability of crop germplasm, it may be insufficient to ...
Potato field-inoculation in Ecuador with Rhizophagus irregularis: no impact on growth performance and associated arbuscu...
A field trial was conducted in two localities of the Ecuadorian Andes to evaluate potato (Solanum tuberosum c.v. INIAP - Fripapa) response to inoculation with four commercial products containing the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) strain Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198. In parallel, potato roots were analysed using 454 GS-FLX+ sequencing of...

Evaluation of advanced potato clones for plant and yield characters at high hills of Nepal.
This experiment was conducted to investigate the performance of advanced potato clones at high hills of Nepal during 2013-2014. Eight advanced potato clones were evaluated with locally adapted variety ‘Lady Rosita’ at Nigaley Farm of Sindhupalchowk and farmers’ field of Dolakha, as an on-station and on-farm experiments, respectively. The plant morp...
