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.

    INFLUENCE OF ZINC AND BORON ON WHEAT PRODUCTIVITY AND POTASSIUM USE EFFICIENCY IN AN ACID ALFISOL
    (CSHHPKV Palampur, 2012-12-01) NEHA; Sharma, R.P.
    The present investigation was carried out at experimental farm of Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, CSK HPKV, Palampur with sixteen treatments consisting of four levels of K (0, 50,100 and150% of recommended dose), two levels of Zn (0 and 10 kg ha-1 ) and two levels of B (0 and 1 kg ha-1 ) in factorial randomized block design. Application of K @ 50, 100 and 150 per cent of recommended dose increased plant height, dry matter accumulation, total and effective tillers per metre row length, grains per ear and test weight significantly. Similarly, application of Zn (10 kg ha-1 ) and B(1 kg ha-1 ) influenced these growth and yield attributes of wheat significantly. Highest grain (42.52q ha-1 ) and straw (66.80q ha-1 ) yield of wheat was recorded under 150 per cent of recommended dose of K. Application of 150 percent of recommended dose of K increased grain and straw yield by 43.7 and 46.9 per cent over no K, respectively. Application of Zn (10 kg ha-1 ) increased grain and straw yield by 10.9 and 9.8 per cent over no Zn, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with the application of B (1 kg ha-1 ) was 5.6 and 6.3 per cent, respectively. Application of K increased N, P, K, Mn, Fe, Cu and B contents significantly at maximum tillering and harvesting. Application of Zn increased Zn and B contents significantly at both the stages but the contents of Fe, Mn and Cu decreased. However, B increased the contents of Zn and B only at maximum tillering stage and Zn, Mn and B at harvesting (grain and straw). Almost similar effects of K, Zn and B application on total nutrient uptake were observed. Application of Zn increased partial factor productivity, physiological efficiency, agronomic efficiency and apparent recovery. B application increased partial factor productivity and apparent recovery only. Application of K, Zn and B increased available K, DTPA extractable Zn and available B content significantly, respectively.

    MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF DIFFERENT CHLAMYDIAE ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS INFECTIONS OF RUMINANTS
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2011-07) Bhardwaj, Brijesh; Chahota, Rajesh
    Chlamydial infections have been reported previously among domestic ruminants from various disorders affecting reproductive system, respiratory system and digestive system in Himachal Pradesh, but the molecular characterization of various species/strains of chlamydiae involved has not been done yet, hence we conducted a molecular epidemiological investigation to detect the prevalence of different chlamydial species/strains in domestic ruminants in different parts of state, migratory tracts and in organized farms of Himachal Pradesh. To know the overall chlamydial prevalence in different disease conditions, total 404 samples were screened using Chlamydiales order specific primers based on 23S rRNA and family Chlamydiaceae specific primers based on VD2 region of ompA gene. Result of chlamydial screening showed that 93 (23%) samples, out of 404 samples were positive for chlamydiae, which showed the higher involvement of chlamydiae in various disease conditions. Out of 205 samples of reproductive disorders, 55 (26.82%) samples were showed chlamydial involvement. Among the cases of reproductive disorders, highest i.e. 38 per cent chlamydial association was detected in endometritis followed by 23 per cent in abortions. Out of 147 samples of pneumonia, 23 (15.64%) samples were found positive for chlamydial infection and from 39 samples of enteritis, chlamydial involvement was found in 33.33 per cent samples. Whereas, two samples of conjunctivitis were also found positive for chlamydial involvement. Molecular characterization and genetic variability studies of chlamydial species/strains detected among ruminants by PCR were done either by PCR-RFLP or by study of nucleotide sequence variation of ompA gene in VD2 region. Overall 57 PCR positive samples were characterized and out of which 39 (68.4%) samples were found C. psittaci, 16 (28%) samples were C. abortus, and two (3.5%) samples were found C. pecorum. From PCR positive samples, isolation of chlamydial strains was also attempted using 6 to 8 day old embryonated chicken eggs and isolation of chlamydiae up to 40.74 per cent could be achieved. Besides chlamydiae, involvement of other bacterial agents was also tested in samples from reproductive diseases. Various bacterial isolates like Brucella melitensis 2 (1.1%), Staphylococcus spp. 48 (26.37%), Streptococcus spp. 7 (3.84%), E. coli 47 (25.82%), Bacillus spp. 31 (17.03%), Klebsiella spp. 11 (6.04%), Arcanobacterium spp. 18 (10%), Pseudomonas spp. 13 (7.14%) and other bacterial species. 24 (13.19%) were isolated from different female reproductive disorders of the livestock. The results showed high prevalence of chlamydial infection among ruminants and involvement of multiple chlamydial species was detected in this study.
