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 ANALYSIS OF INDUCED MUTANTS OF CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.) FOR SEED YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT TRAITS
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2019-07) Kishore, Naval; Katna, Gopal
    The field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2016-17 at experimental farm of Department of Crop Improvement, CSK HPKV, Palampur to estimate the extent of induced variations for seed yield and component traits and to identify potential mutants for various agro morphological traits in chickpea.The experimental materials comprised of 240 mutant lines of chickpea genotype (PG 0027) and three checks, namely, PG 0027, HPG-17 and GPF-2. These mutant lines were evaluated in an Augmented Block Design during rabi 2016-17 with respect to days to 50 per cent flowering, days to 75 per cent maturity, plant height, primary branches, pods per plant, seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, seeds yield per plant, harvest index and 100-seed weight. Sufficient genetic variability was observed for seed yield and yield related traits under study. Based on the mean performance of different lines, it was observed that T1 (P2) and T1 (P3) i.e.100 Gy treatment were superior to checks PG 0027, HPG-17 and GPF-2 for seed yield per plant. The superior performance of genotypes was the result of their better performance for days of flowering, biological yield, branches per plant and pods per plant, While T2 (P10) i.e 150 Gy treatment had high seed yield per plant, biological yield, seeds per pod, harvest index and seeds per pod.The estimates of phenotypic coefficient of variation, genotypic coefficient of variation, heritability (broad sense) and genetic advance (as a per cent of mean) were high for biological yield per plant, seeds per pod, 100-seed weight and seed yield per plant indicated the importance of additive gene action and suggested that early selections for these traits could be effective. Correlation studies revealed that seed yield per plant had a positive and significant association with pods per plant, seeds per pod, harvest index and 100-seed weight. The superior lines can be further evaluated for possible release as improved variety(s) and/or can be utilize in further breeding programmes.
