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.

    INCIDENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF FRUIT BORER, Conopomorpha litchiella Bradley (Gracillariidae: Lepidoptera) INFESTING LITCHI
    (2015) PANDAY, ASHISH KUMAR; BHATIA, R.S.
    ABSTRACT The studies on incidence and management of fruit borer, Conopomorpha litchiella infesting litchi revealed maximum incidence of the borer pest in district Kangra followed by Mandi, Sirmour, Hamirpur and Bilaspur, respectively. The bio-efficacy study in both the modules proved that the synthetic insecticides viz., lambda cyhalothrin, cypermethrin and quinalphos performed relatively better as compared to monocrotophos and chlorpyriphos in the decreasing order whereas the bio-pesticides were found to be least effective of all the three groups of insecticides included in the study. All the treatments in both the modules recorded harvest time residues below determination limit (BDL) irrespective of number of sprays and test concentrations. No phytotoxicity symptoms were recorded in any of the treatments in both the concentrations and modules. The insecticides viz., lambda cyhalothrin, cypermethrin and quinalphos were able to avoid yield loss due to fruit borer to a considerable extent and the values for the parameter varied between 81.14 and 83.05 per cent in these three most effective chemicals compared to bio-pesticides where the values were found to lie between 22.42 and 49.93 in the two modules for both concentrations used in the study. The BCR values for these insecticides were recorded to be very high (range 136.96:1 and 825.35:1) as against < 1.0-9.61:1 calculated for the three bio-pesticides included in the study.
