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.

    MANAGEMENT OF ROOT KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne incognita Kofoid & White)IN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2016) THAKUR, RAMIT; GUPTA, RAKESH
    ABSTRACT The research explorations entitled ‘Management of root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita Kofoid & White) in Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)’ was conducted to explore the possibilities of nematode management in highly susceptible chilli crop by using different nematode management practices. In India, several species of Meloidogyne are reported on a variety of vegetables, cereals, pulses and ornamental plants. Root-knot nematode is a matter of great concern because this affects several economically important crop plants. Chilli is very important crop from the point of nutrition and health. In the present study, twelve treatments viz., bare root dip treatment with carbosulfan @ 0.05 per cent, neem cake @ 50 g/m2, mustard cake @ 50 g/m2, carbofuran 3 G @ 10 g/m2, neem cake @ 25 g/m2 + carbofuran 3 G @ 3.5 g/m2, mustard cake @ 25 g/m2 + carbofuran 3 G @ 3.5 g/m2, drenching with Econeem 5 ml/l of water, bare root dip treatment with carbosulfan @ 0.05 per cent + Econeem 5 ml/l of water, bare root dip treatment with carbosulfan @ 0.05 per cent + marigold intercropping, neem cake @ 25 g/m2 + P. lilacinum @ 50 g/m2, P. lilacinum @ 50 g/m2 and control were evaluated for their effect against M. incognita. Among all the treatment combinations, neem cake @ 50 g/m2 + carbofuran 3G @ 10 g/m2 application in the pots as well as in the field was most effective in reducing nematode population as well as increasing the plant growth and yield. This treatment was observed to be significantly similar to the yields of plots receiving carbofuran 3G @ 10 g/m2 and combination of mustard cake @ 50 g/m2 + carbofuran 3G @ 10 g/m2. The plots that did not receive any treatments, suffered maximum losses in terms of yield as well as plant vigour. It can be concluded from the study that the carbofuran is quite effective in reducing M. incognita population and root gall index in chilli. However, its effect can be enhanced by adding neem or mustard cake that accelerates the plant growth parameters.
