Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry, Solan

Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan, was established on 1st December, 1985 with the objective to promote education, research and extension education in the fields of Horticulture, Forestry and allied disciplines. Late Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar, the first Chief Minister and the architect of Himachal Pradesh perceived the importance of Horticulture and Forestry to develop and improve the State economy which led to the establishment of this University. Its history lies in erstwhile Himachal Agricultural College, Solan, established in 1962 and affiliated to the Panjab University. It became one of the campuses of Agriculture Complex of Himachal Pradesh University on its formation in 1970. Consequent upon the establishment of Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in 1978, this campus became its Horticulture Complex and finally in 1985, assumed the status of a State University, being the only University in the country engaged exclusively in teaching, research and extension in Horticulture and Forestry. The University is located at Nauni in Solan District of Himachal Pradesh, 13 km from Solan on Solan-Rajgarh Road, at an elevation of 1300 metres above mean sea level. Solan town is situated on national highway (NH-22) and is well connected by train and bus services. The University has four constituent colleges, out of which, two are located at the main campus Nauni, one for horticulture and the other for forestry, having 9 and 7 departments, respectively. The third College i.e., College of Horticulture & Forestry is located at Neri in Hamirpur District on Nadaun-Hamirpur state highway, about 6 Km from Hamirpur town and is well connected with bus service. The college offers three Undergraduate Degree Programmes i.e. BSc (Hons.) Horticulture, BSc (Hons.) Forestry and B. Tech. Biotechnology and MSc degree programme in a few subjects. The fourth college i.e. College of Horticulture and Forestry, Thunag (Mandi) is located at Thunag District Mandi. This college offer BSc (Hons.) Horticulture and BSc (Hons.) Forestry degree programme. In addition, there are five Regional Research Stations, 12 Satellite Stations and five Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) situated in different zones of the State.

    STATISTICAL INVESTIGATION ON GROWTH ATTRIBUTES FOR VOLUME ESTIMATION OF Pinus roxburghii
    (2016) KIRAN; GUPTA, R.K.
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Statistical Investigation on growth attribute for volume estimation of Pinus roxburghii” was conducted in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. Data on Pinus roxburghii was collected from the State Forest Department, Solan. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select different compartments. Solan forest division was divided into four altitudinal ranges i.e. up to 1200 m amsl, 1200-1400 m amsl, 1400-1600 m and above 1600 m amsl and from each altitudinal range twenty compartments of pure stand of Pinus roxburghii was selected randomly. Trees on each compartment was divided into seven diameter classes and data from all selected compartment were subjected to variability analysis in order to test the variability among different altitudinal ranges. Bartlett’s chi-square test for testing the homogeneity of variances suggested that there were significant variation with respect to number of trees and volume per tree among these altitudinal ranges. Maximum number of tree per hectare was observed in 10 - 20 cm diameter class (252.08) in all altitudinal ranges and minimum was observed in 70-80 cm diameter class (0.95). Maximum number of trees per hectare was found in altitudinal range 1200-1400 m amsl (507.32) and minimum in altitudinal range up to 1200 m amsl (211.53). Maximum (1.83 m3) and minimum (1.12 m3) volume per tree were observed in altitudinal range above 1600 m and 1200-1400 m amsl. Regression analysis was performed. Different linear and non-linear regression models were fitted to estimate the volume of chirpine using ordinary least square estimation method. S curve model can be used for the construction of volume table for Solan forest division as well as different altitudinal ranges on the basis of highest R2 value and least root mean square error value.
