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.

    IDENTIFICATION OF PRIMING TREATMENTS FOR BELL PEPPER (Capsicum annuum L) BY STABILITY ANALYSIS
    (2015) PUSHPA, DEVI; GUPTA, R.K.
    ABSTRACT The present study entitled “Identification of priming treatments for Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) by stability analysis” was undertaken in the Department of Basic Sciences, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni- Solan 173230 (H.P.) during 2014-2015. Secondary data on six parameters viz., Speed of germination, germination percentage, seedling length (cm), seedling dry weight (mg), seedling vigour index-1 and seedling vigour index-II for four storage periods were taken from Department of Vegetable Science, and were subjected to the stability analysis. Significant priming treatment × storage period suggested of different performance of priming treatments under different storage period. Hence, Eberhart and Russell’s stability model was used to identify stable priming treatments. Priming treatments T6, T12 and T18 were identified as stable priming treatment with respect to speed of germination; T9, T14, T17 and T20 for germination percentage (%); T3, T5, T6, and T7 for seedling length (cm); T12 for seedling dry weight (mg); T6, T7, T8 and T9 for seedling vigour index I and T16, T21 and T22 for seedling vigour index II. However, T6 was identified as stable priming treatment for most of characters i.e. Speed of germination, Seedling length and Seedling vigour index I.
