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 EVALUATION OF CMS LINES AND THEIR MAINTAINERS FOR YIELD AND HORTICULTURAL TRAITS IN CABBAGE (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2019-06) Sharma, Shaina; Chadha, Sanjay
    The present investigation entitled “Genetic evaluation of CMS lines and their maintainers for yield and horticultural traits in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)” was carried out at „Vegetable Research Farm‟ of the Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV Palampur with the objectives to identify the promising CMS lines and their maintainers and to find out genetic variability, interrelationship and direct and indirect contribution of component traits on marketable yield. Twenty three genotypes (15 CMS lines+ six maintainer lines + two checks namely KGMR-1 and Varun) were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications during Rabi, 2017-18. Analysis of variance for all the traits viz., plant spread (cm), number of non-wrapper leaves, polar diameter (cm), equatorial diameter (cm), days to harvest, compactness of head (g/cm3), TSS (0Brix), ascorbic acid content (mg/100g), gross head weight (g), net head weight (g), marketable heads per plot and marketable head yield per plot (kg) exhibited the presence of sufficient variability in the germplasm as revealed by significant differences for all the characters. Based upon overall performance, genotypes namely II-MCMS (257.63q/ha), GA(P)-105CMS (244.29q/ha), KGAT-II (238.10q/ha), II-SCMS (236.86q/ha) and III- 105CMS (233.90q/ha) were found to be the most promising for marketable head yield (q/ha) and various other horticultural traits. High PCV estimates were recorded for marketable head yield per plot and net head weight. High heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance was observed for gross head weight, net head weight, number of non-wrapper leaves, head shape index and TSS. Estimates of correlation coefficient revealed significant positive association of marketable head yield per plot with net head weight, equatorial diameter, gross head weight, polar diameter, plant spread and ascorbic acid content. High positive direct effect on marketable head yield per plot was observed by equatorial diameter, head shape index, compactness of head, gross head weight, marketable heads per plot, polar diameter, days to harvest and TSS.
