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.

    EFFECT ON GROWTH OF PEA SEEDLINGS BY PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZING Rhizobium leguminosarum
    (2009) AHLUWALIA, NEHA; SHIRKOT, C.K.
    ABSTRACT Rhizobium leguminosarum isolated originally isolated from root nodules of pea was tested for its ability to solubilize tricalcium phosphate (TCP). This strain showed solubilization on Pikovaskaya’s agar medium with 1.38 solubilization index and solubilized a substancial amount of TCP 785 mg/ml in PVK broth. Among the carbon sources, mannitol was found to be best carbon source with yeast extract as bets nitrogen source showing maximum P-solubilization 787.00 mg/l and 797.30 mg/l and % growth inhibition 41.10 and 40.12 percent against Fusarium oxysporum. While 28 ºC temperature, 7.5 pH, 72 h incubation period and 0.5 % TCP concentration were found to be best for the growth and P-solubilization by Rhizobium leguminosarum in yeast extract mannitiol broth. Concurrent production of IAA, siderophore, antifungal activity along with phosphorus solubilization revealed its plant growth promoting potential. Seed treatment with charcoal based culture of Rhizobium leguminosarum with TCP amendment increased the germination percent of pea seeds under growth chamber as well as in net house conditions. Among different TCP concentration 262 mg/ 2 Kg of soil showed maximum shoot length, root length, shoot dry weight and root dry weight. Thus the ability of per forming multifarious activities in tandem suggesting Rhizobium leguminosarum a novel strain for plant growth promotion and has significance to develop cost effective ecofriendly sustainable system in the management of environmental and agriculture problems.
