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.

    STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF ORGANIC MANURES, FERTILIZERS AND TIME OF HARVESTING ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF LEMON GRASS (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2023-01) PATYAL, SHREYA; BHARDWAJ, RAVI
    ABSTRACT The present research entitled “Studies on the effect of organic manures, fertilizers and harvesting schedules on growth and yield of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf)” were carried out in the experimental field as well as in laboratory of Department of Forest Products, COF, UHF, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2021-22. Morphological studies revealed that Cymbopogon citratus was found to be a tall, perennial aromatic grass which grows upto a height of 19.69 cm to 131.93cm. The stem was erect, smooth, cylindrical in shape, swollen node and dark purple ring at vegetative stage, turning into green yellowish on flowering stage. The roots were adventitious, pale yellow in color. Leaves were slender, blade like, long, linear, tapering at both ends and glaucous moderate green in color. The inflorescence was large and the florets were arranged alternatively on the central axis. A spikelet consists of two bracts at the base called glumes. The glumes were placed one above the other on the opposite sides. The lower one is known as the first glume, while the higher one is known as the second glume. The flower is bisexual and floret was made up of two bracts, one on the outside called the lemma and the other on the inside called the palea. With regard to effect of organic manures, fertilizers and harvesting schedules on growth and yield , the results revealed that the combined application of Jeevamrit + NPK (60:45:45 kg/ha) gave the maximum value for plant height (87.00 cm), no. of leaves per plant (136.89), plant spread (70.87 cm2), fresh herbage weight per plant (262.32 g), dry herbage weight per plant (146.47 g), estimated fresh herbage yield (103.79 q/ha), estimated dry herbage yield (54.93 q/ha), essential oil content (0.50%), oil yield (52.45 l/ha). When plants were harvested after 90 days. Highest benefit cost ratio (1.57) was recorded with the application of treatment (jeevamrit + NPK) and minimum B:C ratio was recorded in T1 (0.10) i.e control.
