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.

    EVALUATION OF BIOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS IN PROMISING SOYBEAN (Glycine max) GENOTYPES DEVELOPED IN HIMACHAL PRADESH
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2019-03-08) Devi, Ushma; Mohini, K.
    The mature seeds of ten soybean genotypes were evaluated for biochemical constituents by following standard procedures. Significant statistical differences were observed for the biochemical constituents in the soybean genotypes. Variations were observed in the content of 100 seed weight (11.98 to 20.41g) moisture content (3.59 to 7.25 per cent), crude protein (34.84 to 41.17 per cent), fat (15.63 to 19.82 per cent), ash (4.04 to 5.70 per cent), crude fibre (2.44 to 4.66 per cent), carbohydrates (26.71 to 33.76 per cent), total phenols (287.55 to 626.00 mg/100g), total tannins (95.17 to 282.78 mg/100g) and in vitro protein digestibility (47.02 to 57.59 per cent). Amongst the genotypes studied the highest value was observed in Hara Soya for protein, ash and in vitro protein digestibility; in Himso 1685 for fat; in P50-2-1 for fibre; P12-2-1 in carbohydrate whereas lowest level of phenols and tannins was observed in P50-2-1 and P2-2-1, respectively. The various mineral elements estimated in the soybean genotypes showed significant differences for calcium (252.40 to 480.33 mg/100g), potassium (701.67 to 861.67 mg/100g), magnesium (89.69 to 100.7 mg/100g), nitrogen (5.95 to 7.21 mg/100g), iron (5.73 to 9.07 mg/100g), sodium (8.74 to 15.28 mg/100g)and zinc (1.05 to 1.93 mg/100g). The highest content was observed in Hara Soya for calcium, nitrogen, iron and magnesium. P2-1 for potassium, Palam Early Soya1 for sodium and P4-1 for zinc. The results from this study were utilized for carrying out the cumulative grading based on desirable quality parameters for identifying the best genotypes given below in the descending order:P41/P50-2-1 > Hara Soya > Himso 1685 > P2-2-1 > Palam Early Soya1 > P145-1-1 > P12-2-1 > P2-1 > P60- 2-1. The potentially superior genotypes i.e. P41 & P50-2-1 ranking first, followed by Hara Soya and Himso 1685 thus identified can be used for further developmental research by the plant breeder and cultivation on a large scale by the farmer of H.P and others. The information regarding the identification of bestgenotypes for nutritionally important individual quality parameter will prove beneficial for the consumers.
