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.

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.)

    EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OFANGULAR LEAF SPOT OF FRENCH BEAN CAUSED BY Phaeoisariopsis griseola (Sacc.) FERRARIS
    (2012) ADIKSHITA; KANSAL, SANDEEP
    Abstract Angular leaf spot caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola (Sacc.) Ferraris is one of the most important foliar disease of French bean in mid hills of Himachal Pradesh. Survey and surveillance studies conducted in the present investigation revealed that the disease occurred in moderate to serve form in different French bean growing localities of Solan, Shimla and Sirmour districts of Himachal Pradesh. Temperature of 25°C was found optimum for conidial germination and the relative humidity 95 percent with 24 h of leaf wetness period favoured the disease development under controlled conditions. The epidemiological studies conducted under field conditions revealed that moderate temperature (23 ± 2°C) and high humidity (>90%) prevailing during the rainy season found to be congenial for the rapid disease progression. The in vitro evaluation of fungicides indicated Sectin (fenamidone 10% + mancozeb 50% WG) and Index (mycobutanil 10% WP) as potent growth inhibitor of P. griseola while amongst the botanicals, garlic and neem extracts were most promising. Amongst the different fungal antagonist evaluated in in vitro studies Trichoderma harzianum proved most inhibitory to P. griseola while testing their antagonistic efficacy through dual culture or through its toxic substances. The integrated management studies conducted under field conditions revealed that treatment consisting of seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum @ 0.5% and Sectin @ 0.3% followed by pre-sowing soil application of T. harzianum @ 2.5 kg/50 kg FYM/ ha and four periodic sprays of Sectin @ 0.2% at 15 days interval started with the appearance of disease proved most efficacious in limiting the angular leaf spot disease and enhancing the green pod yield.
