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 ON REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY AND YIELD ASSESSMENT OF Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench UNDER MID HILL CONDITIONS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2016) CHAUHAN, ARTI; RAINA, RAVINDER
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled: “Studies on reproductive biology and yield assessment of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench under midhill conditions” was carried out at the experimental farm of Department of Forest Products, Dr Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, during the years 2015 and 2016. In the first experiment “Morphological studies” revealed the plants to perennial herb producing ovate to ovate lanceolate leaves and flowering shoots bearing capitula. Capitula were with neutral rays and bisexual disc florets. Roots were fibrous and mostly rhizomatous. In the second experiment “Phenological studies” revealed flowering duration during March to September with peak in June-July. After final seed setting, the plants undergo senescence becoming underground throughout the winter season. In the third experiment “Pollination studies” revealed the species to be allogamous with complete failure of autogamy. In the fourth experiment “Meiotic studies” revealed the species to be depend with 2n=22 chromosome with normal meiosis. In the fifth experiment “Effect of plant density and fertilizer doses on growth and yield” revealed maximum plant height, aerial biomass, number of floral heads and root biomass in twelve months after transplantation and best combination S3F1 with 15.00 g of dry root yield per plant.
