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.

    STUDIES ON THE INTEGRATED USE OF NITROGEN AND POTASSIUM FERTIGATION WITH BORON SPRAY ON SEED YIELD AND QUALITY OF ONION (Allium cepa L.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2018-05) HIMANGINI; KANWAR, H.S.
    ABSTRACT The present investigation, “Studies on the integrated use of Nitrogen and Potassium fertigation with Boron spray on seed yield and quality of Onion (Allium cepa L.)” was carried out at the Pandah experimental farm and laboratory of the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan-173230 (H.P.) during two consecutive years (2014-15 and 2015-16). One experiment was laid in field in Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with 20 treatments and three replications. Disease free, healthy, uniform sized bulbs of about 60-65 g in weight were selected and were planted at a spacing of 45 x 30 cm in 60 plots of 1.5 m X 1.2 m. Three fertigation levels with 10 different combinations along with 0.1% Boron foliar spray were tried. Second experiment was laid out in laboratory in Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) with 20 treatments and four replications. The effect of NK treatment and Boron spray on plant and seed quality attributes and its effect on storage quality of seeds for 8 months were observed and recorded. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the treatment combinations for all the characters studied. Non significant differences of available soil NPK, soil pH, organic carbon (%) and soil electrical conductivity. The fertigation treatment combination of N100K100 along with Boron (@ 0.01%) foliar spray before flowering performed well for all the plant and seed quality attributes. Therefore, can be recommended for commercial seed production of onion.
