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.

    VARIATION STUDIES IN Ulmus villosa BRANDIS
    (2012) THAKUR, SAPNA; THAKUR, I.K.
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Variation studies in Ulmus villosa Brandis” was carried out at the experimental field of Department of Tree Improvement and Genetic Resources during 2010- 12. Seeds were collected from five mother trees each at six seed sources and progenies were raised to study the extent and pattern of variation with respect to growth and biomass characters. However, the wood samples were collected from selected trees for studying wood characters. Site S4 (Jagoti) exhibited outstanding performance for the growth and biomass characters of progenies followed by S1 (Jadh) and S5 (Katouch), whereas S3 (Jhidi) showed the lowest values for these characters. Site S6 (Andhra) trees exhibited outstanding performance for wood characters followed by S4 (Jagoti) trees. High heritability with moderate genetic gain was observed for collar diameter followed by plant height and petiole length among growth and biomass characters and high heritability with moderate genetic gain was recorded in wood density among wood characters. Highly significant and positive genotypic and significant phenotypic correlation were observed for height and diameter, fresh shoot weight and fresh root weight and dry shoot weight and dry root weight. RAPD pattern was studied using 10 primers all of which showed amplification. Fifty seven scorable bands were identified in the range size of 147.10 bp-2901.97 bp. The dendrogram generated using RAPD markers showed Jugahan-T3 as most divergent. Maximum similarity of 70 percent was observed between Jagoti-T3 and Jagoti-T2.
