@article{Prasai_Shrestha_2015, title={Evaluation of Wheat Genotypes in Far Western Hills of Nepal}, volume={3}, url={https://nepjol.info/index.php/IJASBT/article/view/12920}, DOI={10.3126/ijasbt.v3i3.12920}, abstractNote={<p>Coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) and Advanced Varietal Trial (AVT) of wheat were conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station,<br />Doti during the year 2012 and 2013. Microplot Yield Trial (MPYT) were conducted during the year 2013. Total 20 genotypes were included<br />in CVT experiment of both years. Although the difference in grain yield due to genotypes was not found significant during the year 2012, NL<br />1144 recorded the highest grain yield (4309 kg/ha) followed by NL 1140 (4295 kg/ha) and NL 1147 (4165 kg/ha) respectively. But in the year<br />2013, NL 1097 produced the highest grain yield (4641 kg/ha) followed by NL 1135 (4383 kg/ha) and NL 1164 (4283 kg/ha) respectively.<br />Statistically, the difference in grain yield due to genotypes was not found significant in the year 2013. Combined analysis over years was also<br />carried out. Out of 20, only 10 genotypes were included in the CVT experiment, which were found similar in both years. Genotypes NL 1097<br />(4079 kg/ha), NL 1140 (3814 kg/ha) and NL 1093 (3773 kg/ha) were found high yielding genotypes for river basin agro-environment of far<br />western hills. Statistically, effect of year in tested characters was found significant whereas treatment effect was observed non-significant.<br />Similarly, 20 genotypes of wheat were included in AVT of wheat during the year 2012 and 2013. Out of the genotypes included in AVT during<br />the year 2012, KISKADEE No.1recorded the highest grain yield (3824 kg/ha) followed by CHEWINK No. 1 (3643 kg/ha) and WK 2120 (3583<br />kg/ha). Statistically all the tested characters except grain yield were found significantly different due to genotypes. But in the same experiment<br />of the year 2013, WK 2412 genotype recorded the highest grain yield (4407 kg/ha) followed by WK 2411 (4329 kg/ha) and Munal-1 (4054<br />kg/ha). Statistically the difference in grain yield and other tested characters were found significantly different. Due to dissimilarity in the tested<br />genotypes we could not carry-out the combined analysis over years. Total 30 genotypes were included in the MPYT experiment of the year<br />2013. Genotype WK 2272 recorded the highest grain yield (6080 kg/ha) followed by the genotypes WK 2274 (5152 kg/ha) and WK 2278<br />(4480 kg/ha) respectively. Statistically, the difference in grain yield and other tested characters were found significantly different due to<br />genotypes.</p><p>Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 3(3): 417-422</p>}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology}, author={Prasai, Hari Kumar and Shrestha, Jiban}, year={2015}, month={Sep.}, pages={417–422} }
