Agromorphological
characterization of crop varieties is essential for providing the farmers
with decision supports in the choice of varieties for their biophysical
adaptation, market demands and pest resistance. This study attempted to
evaluate different onion varieties and/or their seed lots of various sources
in Nepalese agricultural market in terms of quality and quantity of production
under farmers' field condition. Observation trial was conducted in the
farmers' field condition at Beni of Myagdi district. Altogether twenty-nine
tomato varieties and/or the seed lots of various descents provided by
the SEAN Seed Service Center Limited were evaluated. All tested varieties
displayed spectrum of variability in various morpho-horticultural traits
including days to flowering and fruit set, number of pickings required,
number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield and tolerance to
insect pests and diseases. |
