Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, Palampur

Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (renamed as Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in June, 2001) was established on 1st November, 1978.The College of Agriculture (established in May, 1966) formed the nucleus of the new farm University. It is ICAR accredited and ISO 9001:2015 certified institution. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has ranked this University at eleventh place among all farm universities of the country. The University has been given the mandate for making provision for imparting education in agriculture and other allied branches of learning, furthering the advancement of learning and prosecution of research and undertaking extension of such sciences, especially to the rural people of Himachal Pradesh. Over the years, this University has contributed significantly in transforming the farm scenario of Himachal Pradesh. It has developed human resources, varieties and technologies and transferred these to farming community enabling the State to receive the “Krishikarman award” of Govt. of India four times in row for food grain production among small states of the country. Today, the State has earned its name for hill agricultural diversification and the farming community has imposed its faith in the University.

    RESPONSE OF GRAM TO ORGANIC AND INORGANIC SOURCES OF NUTRIENTS UNDER RAINFED AND IRRIGATED CONDITIONS IN GRAM-OKRA CROPPING SYSTEM
    (CSHHPKV Palampur, 2017-07-06) AHMAD, NESAR; Rameshwar, Kumar
    A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2015-16 at Holta Organic Farm of Department of Organic Agriculture, CSK HPKV, Palampur to study the response of gram to organic and inorganic sources of nutrients under rainfed and irrigated conditions. The experiment consisted of 8 treatments comprising of combinations of four nutrient management practices i.e. organic nutrient management [soil treatment with jeevamrit & seed treatment with Rhizobium + PSB, vermicompost (VC) @ 5 t ha-1 & 3 sprays of vermiwash], inorganic nutrient management (recommended NPK), integrated nutrient management (2.5 t ha-1 VC + 50% of recommended NPK) and farmer’s practice (1.25 t ha-1 VC + 25% of recommended NPK) with two conditions i.e. irrigated and rainfed were tested in split plot design with three replications. Results revealed that growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yield of gram were increased with irrigated condition and nutrient management practices. Under irrigated condition, 15.20 per cent higher yield and 10.41 per cent higher net returns per rupee invested were recorded over rainfed condition. Among nutrient management practices, organic nutrient management recorded significantly higher seed yield (1060.1 kg ha -1 ) as compared to other treatments, followed by integrated nutrient management practice. At the same time organic nutrient management recorded highest net returns (₹ 52467 ha-1 ) and 7.10 net returns per rupee invested. Integrated nutrient management was the second best treatments, recorded higher net returns (₹ 32210 ha-1 ) as compared to inorganic and farmers practice. The available nutrient status of soil (NPK) was significantly higher under organic nutrient management as compared to other treatments.
