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.

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDIES FOR SEED YIELD AND RELATED TRAITS IN LINSEED (Linum usitatissimum L.)
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2017-07-25) Bisht, Ashita; Paul, Satish
    Evaluation of combining ability and heterosis was done using 15 lines (7 indigenous and 8 exotic) and three well adapted, early maturing indigenous genotypes as testers in a line × tester mating design. From these parental lines, 45 crosses were developed during rabi 2015-16. In rabi 2016-17, a total of 63 entries (18 parents + 45 F1s) were evaluated for seed yield and related traits. The non-additive gene action played significant role in inheritance of all the seed yield and contributing traits. Combining ability studies revealed that the lines Baner and Belinka were promising general combiners for seed yield and related traits. The highest value of heterobeltiosis was observed for seed yield per plant (226.62%) followed by primary branches per plant (192.17%). In case of standard heterosis, highest value was observed for primary branches (263.66%) followed by secondary branches (178.59%) per plant. Based on per se performance, SCA effects and extent of heterosis cross combination KL-284 × JLS-73 was found to be most promising for seed yield and related traits. While, the cross combination Ottawa × RLC-133 showed desirable extent of heterosis for earliness as well as for seed yield and related traits.
