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 OF CULTIVARS AND SOWING TIME ON QUALITY SEED PRODUCTION IN PEA (Pisum sativum L.) UNDER PROTECTED CONDITIONS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2022-11) ANU; MANISH KUMAR
    ABSTRACT The present investigation titled “Effect of cultivars and sowing time on production in pea (Pisum sativum L.) under protected conditions” was carried out at Khaltoo research farm and laboratory of the department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2021-2022. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (factorial) with three replications while the laboratory studies were done using Completely Randomized Design having four replications. There were nine treatment combinations involving three cultivars i.e., V1 (Pusa Pragati), V2 (Pb-89) and V3 (Azad P-1) and three sowing dates viz., D1 (1st October), D2 (15th October) and D3 (1st November). As regards the cultivars, Pusa Pragati recorded minimum values for days to 50% flowering (72.11) and days to seed harvesting (149.00) and maximum values for pod length (10.46 cm), number of seeds per pod (7.49) which were at par with V2 (7.46), 100 seed weight (20.33 g) which was also at par with V2 (20.03 g), seedling dry weight (40.60 mg) and SV-II (4040.25). PB-89 recorded minimum days to field emergence (8.33), maximum number of pods per plat (18.38), pod yield (72.98 g/plant and 2.85 kg/m2), shelling percentage (55.24), seed yield (17.28 g/plant and 0.240 kg/m2), seedling length (22.67 cm) which was at par with Azad P-1 (22.34), SV-I (2261.64) which was also at par with Azad P-1 (2215.37). Maximum plant height was obtained in Azad P-1 (127.49 cm). Among different dates of sowing, 15th October sowing recorded minimum values for days to seed harvesting (155.44) and maximum values for pod length (9.40 cm), number of pods per plant (18.68), pod yield (71.69 g/plant and 2.79 kg/m2), shelling percentage (50.94), number of seeds per pod (7.39), seed yield (15.81 g/plant and 0.211 kg/m2), 100 seed weight (19.18 g) which was at par with 1st October (19.10 g), seedling length (23.07 cm) which was again at par with 1st October (22.91 cm), seedling dry weight (37.88 mg) at par with 1st October sowing date (36.86 mg), SV-I (2301.23) at par with 1st October (2280.90), SV-II (3778.96) at par with Ist October (3670.83). 1st October sowing recorded minimum values for days to 50% flowering (80.00). The interaction V2D2 (Pb-89 sown on 15th October) showed minimum days to field emergence (7.00), number of pods per plant (18.68), pod yield (102.88 g/plant and 4.01 kg/m2), shelling percentage (60.07), number of seeds per pod (8.43), seed yield (23.68 g/plant and 0.325 kg/m2), 100 seed weight (21.42 g), V3D1 recorded maximum seedling length (24.24 cm) which was statistically at par with V2D2 (23.47 cm) and maximum SV-I (2412.10) which was again at par with V2D2 (2347.25), V1D3 recorded maximum seedling dry weight (42.10 mg) which was statistically at par with V2D2 (41.52 mg), SV-I (2347.25), SV-II (4152.50). Though germination percentage showed non-significant results but maximum of 100% germination was reported in V2D2 and minimum of 98.25% in V3D3. Hence, it was concluded that treatment combination V2D2 (Pb-89 sown on 15th October) can be recommended for quality seed production of garden pea under naturally ventilated polyhouse.
