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.

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.)

    STUDIES OF LAWN GRASS MIXTURES ON TURF ESTABLISHMENT UNDER MID HILL CONDITIONS OF H.P.
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2021-10) SHARMA, YAMINI; BHALLA, RAJESH
    ABSTRACT The present investigations entitled ‘Studies of lawn grass mixtures on turf establishment under mid hill conditions of H.P.’ was carried out at the experimental farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, (HP) during 2020-21. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with twelve treatments planted in three replications. Lolium perenne took minimum days for germination and turf establishment. A combination of 50% Agrostis stolonifera + 20% Festuca rubra + 20% Lolium perenne + 10% Cynodon dactylon and 50% Agrostis stolonifera + 15% Festuca rubra + 20% Cynodon dactylon + 15% Lolium perenne required minimum number of mowings. Minimum weed count was observed in a plots with Cynodon dactylon (40%) + Festuca rubra (20%) + Lolium perenne (20%) + Agrostis stolonifera (20%). Variations in turf colour was observed in the months of November, 2020 to March, 2021 when the colour changed to yellow green to orange white in plots with Cynodon dactylon only. Maximum score for visual texture was observed in a treatment of 50% Agrostis stolonifera + 20% Festuca rubra + 20% Lolium perenne + 10% Cynodon dactylon. Maximum score for turf spread was obtained by treatment having combinations of Cynodon dactylon (40%) + Festuca rubra (20%) + Lolium perenne (20%) + Agrostis stolonifera (20%). Minimum diseases and insect-pest incidence was observed in a treatment of Cynodon dactylon. Turf grass mixture containing 50% Agrostis stolonifera + 20% Festuca rubra + 20% Lolium perenne + 10% Cynodon dactylon performed the best and was most presentable throughout the year.
