Food seCuritY and inCome generation through Finger millet CultiVation in nepal 123 seasons of 2003 and 2004. Each genotype was planted in 2 rows, each of 2 m length, following the farmers’ management practices. Among these genotypes, Paheli Kodo produced the highest grain yield (24.20 q/ha) followed by Mudke Kodo 3 (22.00 q/ha) at Pipaltar (Table 6), while Seto Jhyape was the highest yielder (43.50 q/ha) followed by Paheli Mudke (37.40 q/ha) and Kalo Jhyape (36.90 q/ha) at Khanigaun in 2003 (Table 7). The variety Paheli Mudke produced the highest grain yield of 26.25 q/ha followed by Chitwane (23.75 q/ha) and Chamre Kodo (23.75 q/ha) at Khanigaun (Table 8), Seto Jhyape produced the highest grain yield (24.00 q/ha) followed by Chaure (21.00 q/ ha) and Mudke (21.00 q/ha) at Pipaltar, while Kabre Kodo 1 was the highest grain yielder (30.00 q/ha) followed by Seto Jhaype (28.33 q/ha) at Kabre.

124 minor millets in south asia (CLS) was observed at Kabre which indicated that the disease does not appear at lower altitudes and therefore finger millet cultivars susceptible to CLS might be recommended for lower altitudes. The severity of finger blast was observed very low at all the locations. Table 8.

Participatory variety selection Six millet cultivars including the check were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) at Pipaltar and Khanigaun of Nuwakot district and Kabre of Dolakha district in which same genotypes were included at Khanigaun and Kabre, while two genotypes were different in the set of varieties tested at Pipaltar in 2003 and 2004. The plot size was 9 m 2 with the inter-row spacing of 10 cm and interplant spacing of 10 cm. The chemical fertilizers were applied at the rate of 45:30:30 NPK kg/ha. The seed rate used was 10 kg/ha and the observations on grain yield and yield contributing characters were recorded. The evaluation of millet genotypes was done with the participation of farmers for preference ranking for the important
