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.

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.

    STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF EMLA 111 ROOTSTOCK ON GROWTH AND LEAF NUTRIENT STATUS OF EXOTIC APPLE CULTIVARS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2022-11) AMAN KUMAR; SHARMA, C L
    The present investigation entitled, “Studies on the effect of EMLA 111 rootstock on growth and leaf nutrient status of exotic apple cultivars” was undertaken at Experimental Farm of Department of Seed Science & Technology, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with six different exotic apple cultivars replicated four times. The plant spacing in bud wood bank was 2×2 m. Three plants per replication were randomly selected for recording observations on growth and leaf nutrient status of exotic apple cultivars. Among the different cultivars maximum plant spread (1.44 m2), incremental growth in tree height (62.34 cm), internodal length (4.02 cm), number of shoots per plant (10.00), shoot length (74.07 cm), annual shoot growth (36.03 cm), total number of leaves per plant (43.16), leaf chlorophyll content (2.41 mg g-1), leaf area (28.53 cm2), leaf area index (1.39) was recorded in cultivar Gala Schnico on EMLA 111. However, the maximum numbers of graftable bud sticks (25.50) were also collected in cultivar Gala Schnico on EMLA 111. Leaf N (2.16%), leaf P (0.18%) and leaf K (1.95%) was found highest in cultivar Dark Baron Gala on EMLA 111 rootstock
