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.

    ABSTRACT Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) belongs to family Caryophyllaceae and is native of the Mediterranean region. It is one of the most popular and commercially important cut flower. The commercial production of carnation is due to its excellent keeping quality, broad range of colors, shapes, size and fragrance, potential to withstand long distance transportation. Presently, in order to obtain excellent quality of cut flower throughout the year, nutrients viz., N P K are supplied through chemical fertilizer. Excessive and indiscriminate use of these chemical fertilizers not only affects soil health and environment but also pose extra debt on farmer’s pocket. Therefore, there is a need to standardize the optimum dose of nutrition by balancing organic and inorganic fertilizers which proves out to be good for soil health and environment. So, the present investigations were undertaken to isolate potential endophytic bacterial isolates from roots of carnation plants and their characterization for efficient plant growth promoting traits. A total of 97 endophytic bacteria were isolated from the root samples of carnation. Out of 97 isolates, 52 isolates were P- solubilizers and siderophore producers and 50 were IAA producers. Finally, from the total only two best endophytic bacterial isolates SR-1 and NH-3 were selected for polyhouse trial, on the basis of P-solubilization, siderophore production, IAA production , growth on nitrogen free media, antagonism against Fusarium oxysporium and Rhizoctonia solani, HCN production and lytic enzyme production and hence characterized morpho-biochemically and by 16S rDNA sequencing. The application of 75% NP +SR-1 and 75% NP + NH-3 not only registered the tremendous increase in all plant parameters but also increased the available NPK in soil. Thus, the endophytic bacterial isolates have enormous potential to act as a multifunctional biofertilizers, biostimulant and bioprotectant for carnation.
