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.

    GENETIC ASSESSMENT FOR SEED YIELD AND RELATED TRAITS IN F3 GENERATION OF MASH (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper)
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2017-07) Chauhan, Shilpa; Mittal, Raj Kumar
    The present investigation entitled “Genetic assessment for seed yield and related traits in F3 generation of mash (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper)” was carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Department of Crop Improvement, CSKHPKV, Palampur to study the genetic parameters and identify desirable transgressive segregants in mash for seed yield and components traits. The experimental material comprised of 21 families along with their 126 F3 progenies, derived by mating 12 parents with 3 testers. This genetic material was evaluated in Compact Family Block Design with three replications during kharif 2016. Sufficient variability was found among the families for all the traits except for days to 50 per cent flowering. Progenies among the families were found significantly different for days to 50 per cent flowering and days to 75 per cent maturity. Likewise, progenies within family were significantly different for majority of the traits. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was found to be greater than genotypic coefficient of variation for all the traits indicating the influence of environment in expression of these traits. Higher estimates of PCV and GCV were observed for branches per plant, biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant. Significant and positive correlation of seed yield per plant was found with plant height, pods per plant, pod length, seeds per pod, biological yield per plant and harvest index. Biological yield per plant and harvest index had shown high direct effects on seed yield per plant. Eight progenies were moderately resistant to Cercospora leaf spots, 13 progenies were resistant to anthracnose leaf spot while 19 progenies showed resistance to powdery mildew. HPBU-126 x HPBU-111, HPBU-124 x HPBU-111 and HPBU-126 x Palampur-93 were the promising families for most of the traits with high seed yield per plant and these families were resistant to anthracnose leaf spot and powdery mildew. Forty- three progenies were superior based on maximum number of superior segregants scored over mean value of progeny and best check. Pg2 of HPBU-126 x HPBU-111, Pg2 of HPBU-126 x Palampur-93, Pg3 and Pg6 of HPBU-124 x HPBU-111 were found to be the best progenies based on per se performance with high seed yield per plant and these progenies were moderately resistant to Cercospora leaf spots and resistant to anthracnose leaf spot and powdery mildew.
