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.

    DUS CHARACTERIZATION AND GENETIC STUDIES IN ROSE (Rosa hybrida)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2019-09) AGNIHOTRI, ROSHNI; GUPTA, Y C
    ABSTRACTDUS The present investigation entitled “S Characterization DUS and Genetic studies in Rose (Rosa hybrida)” was carried out at experimental farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2017 to 2018. The experiment was laid out in a RBD with three replications and data was recorded for two years.Forty five diverse genotypes were evaluated for various growth and flowering parameters to assess the extent of variability, heritability, genetic divergence and the morphological characterization of these genotypes. Wide and significant variations for all the parameters were observed among the different miniature rose genotypes. Among the tested genotypes Royal Midnette had very high number of flowering stem per plant and genotype Dazzler had maximum number of flower per bunch. Maximum duration of flowering was found in MaigoldSweet Dream. Maximum plant spread was in Wild Fire thus is suitable for bedding purpose.Genetic diversity among 45 genotypes was grouped into 19 clusters in which Maximum number of 14 genotypes was accommodated in cluster 2, followed by cluster 1 accommodating 8 genotypes, cluster 3 having 7 genotypes, whereas, rest of the clusters consisted of only one genotype each.The study generated information regarding Distinctness Uniformity and stability as well as the relationship between 45 different genotypes of rose on the basis of DUS descriptor.On the basis of DUS descriptors 45 genotypes were grouped into 7 distinct clusters and the divergence contribution among the varieties by different characters were ranked.This study will aid in identification of genotypes studied. The Database of morphological data was prepared for further use as reference collection.The genetic information will help for making crosses or planning breeding programs for developing superior cultivars of miniature roses.
