Wheat sterility in Nepal--A review
1992
Kalidas Subedi (Lumle Regional Agricultural Research Centre, Kathmandu (Nepal))
Sterility in wheat is an increasingly important problem in Nepal. It occurs at all altitudes and a number of factors are involved. In the high hills (above 1200 m), low temperatures, frost, and snow at anthesis seem to be the major factors responsible. In the low hills (below 1200 m), temperatures are low enough to cause sterility and soil problems, particularly low boron availability. Waterlogging has also been identified as an important factor in the low hills. Further work on the sterility problem is recommended
