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.

    Development of prescription based fertilizer recommendation for Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) in mid hills of Himachal Pradesh
    (palampur, 2022-08-31) Rana, Shaifali; Datt, Naveen
    The present investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Department of Soil Science, Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur (32 6' N latitude and 76 3' E longitude). The soil of the experimental site was Typic Hapludalf, silty clay loam in texture, acidic in reaction, medium in available N, high in available P and low in available K at the initiation of the experiment. The experiment was conducted as per the technical programme and methodology of AICRP on Soil Test Crop Response. The experiment was conducted in two phases. In first phase soil fertility gradient was developed by dividing experimental field into three equal strips and applying graded doses of fertilizers in these strips and growing of exhaust fodder crop Wheat. In the second phase i.e. next season test crop brinjal (var. Hisar shyamal) was grown by dividing each strip into 24 plots having 21 treated and 3 controlled. Response to selected combinations of three levels of FYM (0, 10 and 20 t/ha), four levels of nitrogen (0, 50,100 and 150 kg N ha-1 ), four levels of phosphorus (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg P2O5 ha-1 ) and four levels of potassium (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg K2O ha-1 ) at different fertility levels of brinjal was studied. The values of the Alkaline KMnO4 extractable nitrogen ranged from 226 to 289 kg N ha 1 , Olsen’s phosphorus ranged from 20 to 40 kg P ha-1 and neutral normal NH4OAc extractable potassium ranged from 148 to 235 kg K ha-1 in the experimental field. The total uptake of N, P and K ranged from 33.9 to 145.2, 5.1 to 21.6 and 23.9 to 82.9 kg ha-1 by brinjal, respectively. In the present investigation the fresh fruit yield ranged from 163.9 to 375.6 q ha-1 and dry matter yield of fruit ranged from 11.5 to 25.5 q ha-1 The nutrient requirement for production of one quintal of fruit yield of brinjal was found to be 0.30 kg Nitrogen, 0.05 kg Phosphorus and 0.19 kg Potassium. Percent contribution of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was 16.71, 26.29 and 14.20 from soil, whereas from other sources as FYM was 7.64, 3.91 and 6.65 percent. Contribution from fertilizer as a percentage was 40.91, 19.11 and 76.23, using with FYM for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, respectively. Fertilizer adjustment equations developed for conjoint use of fertilizers with the help of basic data are: FN= 0.74 T – 0.41 SN – 0.19 ON, FP= 0.24 T – 1.38 SP – 0.20 OP, FK= 0.25T – 0.19 SK - 0.09 OK
