The Editorial Board is very much pleased to present the 17th volume of “Nepalese Horticulture”
journal, an official publication of Nepal Horticulture Society (NHS). Originating in 1997, this
journal, representing one of Nepal's oldest professional societies, invites research articles, short
notes, and reviews from academia, researchers, private sectors, and farmers, covering a broad
spectrum of Horticultural Science. We welcome contributions from both domestic and international
authors. The current volume reflects rigorous research and reviews in the field, aiming to contribute
valuable scientific findings to the global scientific community. The Editorial Board expresses
gratitude to authors, reviewers, and the executive committee for their invaluable contributions.
Committed to high scientific ethics, our peer review process ensures the journal's utmost quality.
We anticipate continued support from academia, researchers, development workers, and private
entrepreneurs. The journal is available both in print and on the official website of the Nepal
Horticulture Society and Nepal Journal Online (NepJol), indexed on CABI, with expectations of a
growing readership. The Editorial Board extends thanks to all institutions and individuals for their
cooperation in making this publication possible and looks forward to continued support from
subscribers, readers, and well-wishers. Thank you.
