“…Significantly higher tuber yield (46.93 This indicates that these genotypes have genetic potentiality to perform better under Jumla condition of Nepal. Yield and growth parameters may also vary with the intra-row spacing and time of earthing [34]. Application of potassium fertilizer increased the tuber yield [35].…”

The trial was carried out to identify suitable potato genotypes for high hills of Karnali province of Nepal. The genotypes were received from International Potato Centre (CIP), Lima, Peru through National Potato Research Program (NPRP) and evaluated for two consecutive years 2017 and 2018 at Horticulture Research Station (HRS), Rajikot, Jumla, Nepal (2396 masl). Nine nutrient dense potato genotypes with two checks i.e. Desiree and Jumli Local in on-station trial were tested in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Fertilizer was used at the rate of 100:100:60 kg NPK/ha and 20 t/ha compost. Well sprouted tubers of seed size (25-50 g) were planted at a spacing of 60cm x 25cm. The effects of different genotypes were recorded for both vegetative as well as yield parameters. There is a significant difference among tested genotypes for vegetative (emergence percentage at 30 days after planting & 45 days after planting, uniformity, ground coverage, plant height, number of main stems) as well as yield parameters (total number of tubers and tuber yield per ha). The highest tuber yield (46.93 t/ha) was recorded from genotype T 304351.109 followed by genotype T 304368.46 (41.46 t/ha) and genotype T 302498.7 (32.69 t/ha) among the nutrient dense potato genotypes. Similarly, late blight scoring was minimum (score 1) in all these three genotypes. The results of both years showed that potato genotypes T 304351.109, T 304368.46 and T 302498.7 are promising for cultivation in high hills of Karnali province to combat the malnutrition as well as ensure nutritional security.

“…Some researchers have showed that seed spacing uniformity plays a major impact on marketable yield (Schotzko et al 1983;Thornton et al 1983;Rex et al 1987;Rupp & Thornton 1992;Creamer et al 1999;Love & Thompson-Johns 1999). Getachew et al (2012) determined the effect of seed spacing on total yield and marketable yield of potato in Ethiopia. They found the highest total tuber yield at seed spacing of 10 cm whereas marketable tuber yield at seed spacing of 10 cm had the lowest value.…”

“…The tomatoes were grown at Chuka University Research and teaching farm for cultivation 1 while cultivation 2 was carried out on a farm at Ndagani within the University neighbourhood. Soils in this area are classified as humic nitisols [18] and they are of volcano origin with basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks.…”

“…Tomato varieties having a smaller number of locules, higher pericarp, and good firmness are preferred by the consumers. Locules present in tomato fruit play an important role in governing its quality as it is primarily correlated with fruit size [18]. The use of earthing up and pruning systems could potentially aid farmers to attain the utmost achievable postharvest level.…”

Tomato is a popular and extensively cultivated vegetable among the economically promising commodities in the horticulture sector in Kenya. It provides a wide variety of nutrients with many health-related benefits. This study investigated the effect of integration of pruning and earthing up on postharvest. The experiments were carried out in a split-plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and in CRD for both field and laboratory work respectively. Fruit yield data was taken after each harvest. The results from the analysis of variance for the effect of factors (earthing up and pruning system) and their combined effect showed that there was a significant effect on the average weight loss percentage and total soluble solids in both cultivations. The treatments had a significant effect on the average weight loss percentage, total soluble solids, and fruit firmness in both cultivations. The highest fruit weight loss percentages were recorded from all stem pruning system with no earthing up. The highest fruit firmness (3.41 N mm-1 in cultivation 1 and 3.24 N mm-1 in cultivation 2) was recorded from a single stem pruning system and earthing up to 30 cm. The highest total soluble solids (TSS) percentage 6.09 % was recorded in both cultivations under a single stem pruning system and earthing up to 30 cm. To improve tomato postharvest, farmers are encouraged to consider triple stem pruning system in combination with earthing up to level 30 cm.
