workshop concluded with the following suggestion and recommendations.
Recommendation
Proven technologies
for release
•
Wheat variety WK 1204
• ICP 7035 of pigeonpea
• Avarodhi, Tara and Chandra of chickpea
• ILL 7723 of lentil, ILL 7982 and ILL 6829 for mid-hills
and ILL 7164 for the Terai be released & promoted.
Proven
technologies for dissemination
- Recommended
variety Gautam for the Terai should also be promoted for
river basin and foot-hills through FATs
- Released
rust resistant variety of wheat Pasang Lhamu should be adequately
multiplied to meet the seed demands
- Ramdhan
(OR 367) should be promoted as a substitute of Masuli in
blast-prone areas of Inner Terai
- Mass
up-scaling of RCTs in Rice-Wheat Systems is necessary
- IWM
package in chickpea, pigeonpea & lentil should be widely
up-scaled through Extension
- Application
of Borax , Sulphur and Zinc @ of 10, 20 and 5 kg/ha in addition
to recommended dose 60-40-20 kg/ha of NPK is recommended
for Toria crop in Chitwan
- Potato
seed treatment with 2% Boric acid is recommended for Black
scurf disease and Trichoderma harzianum treatment in soil
and tuber for controlling black scurf of potato.
- Janakdev
and NPI 106 to replace wart susceptible potato variety MS
42-3 is recommended for Pokhara valley
- TPS
family CFK69.1 x TPS 67 is recommended for seedling tuber
production for central Terai
- Extensive
and Multi-disciplinary technology verification & IPM
component of Club root disease in crucifers should be done
in collaboration with DOA partners
- Club
root disease of crucifers is managed by spraying Nebijin
(Flusulfamide)
- HNPV
production and application at local levels should be promoted
- Pigeonpea
and lentil need to be pushed in mid-hills in maize and rice
based cropping systems, respectively.
- Site
details of OR sites in terms of soil characters need to
be documented
General
Suggestions
- Guidelines
for OR Workshop paper writing need to be revised and circulated
in advance
- Creation
and allocation of Livestock and Fisheries related human
resource in Outreach Research Division
- Identify
suitable Outreach sites in different geo ecological regions
- Outreach
Research (Crop, Livestock and Fisheries) should get higher
priority
- Livestock
and Fisheries Outreach Research integration with Crops and
Horticulture in suitable places and commodities. eg. Rice
cum Fish integration, Horto-Pastoral System for Livestock
production
- Collaborative
and participatory Outreach Research in participation with
stakeholder should be envisaged
- Outreach
Research should take the approaches to benefit value chain
through linking farmers to Global market, approaches of
poverty alleviation, gender empowerment and sustainable
environment
- Coordination
with DOA, DLS, I/NGOs, farmer organizations, input and market
agencies
- Mechanism
for coordination at various level (central, regional, district
and village)
- Synergy
and alignment of activities with partners
- Partnership
roles, responsibilities should be specified
- Mandatory
ownership of NTWG, RTWG, DTWG of respective research and
extension organizations
- Institutionalization
and behavioral change of partner organizations
- More
partnership with extension (multi stakeholder)
- Research
partnership with private sector (industries)
- Capacitate
Agriculture sub-centre for research collaboration
- Close
communication and sharing of experience
- Joint
priority setting, execution, monitoring and evaluation
- Working
in complimentarity and common goal
- Join
hands with multi-partners
- Involve
more farmers and local extension agents in technology generation
