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.

    RESPONSE OF OKRA [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench ] TO NPK FERTILIZATION AND IT’S EFFECT ON NUTRIENTS AVAILABILITY
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2021-03) SURUCHI; SPEHIA, RANJIT SINGH
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Response of okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] to NPK fertilization and its effect on nutrient availability” was carried out at the experimental farm of Department of Soil Science and Water Management, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan , (HP) during the year 2019 with the objective to study the effect of different NPK combinations on physico-chemical and microbiological properties of soil, nutrient status, growth and yield parameters of okra cv. P- 8. Research trial comprised 8 treatments, viz. T1 - Control, T2 - N (100%), T3 – N (100%) +P (100%), T4 – N (100%) +K (100%), T5 - NPK (100%), T6 - NPK (150%), T7 - NPK (100%) + FYM (100%), T8 - NPK (150%) + FYM (100%). The treatments were replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The conjoint application of NPK with FYM improved available NPK content, microbial count, growth and yield attributes of okra. Significantly maximum microbial count (56.40×106 cfu, 4.43×104 cfu and 2.92 ×105 cfu g-1 soil, respectively) and available soil N, P, K and S content (344.10, 86.99, 368.46 and 54.00 kg ha-1, respectively) were recorded with the application of NPK 150% +FYM 100% (T8) but were statistically at par with treatment T7 (NPK 100%+FYM 100%). Similarly, significantly highest plant macronutrient and micronutrient content were recorded under treatment T8. Further, growth and yield attributes were also found maximum under treatment T8 (NPK 150%+FYM (100%) leading to maximum yield (106.72 q ha-1) which was at par with treatment T7 (NPK100%+FYM 100%) which recorded 105.59q ha-1yield. Therefore, the application of NPK@100%+FYM @100% lead to improvement in soil nutrient status, microbiological properties, yield and quality of okra.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY AND LIFE FERTILITY STUDIES OF DIFFERENT POPULATIONS OF BRINJAL SHOOT AND FRUIT BORER (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2021-03) SURUCHI; SPEHIA, RANJIT SINGH
    ABSTRACT The present investigations entitled “Genetic variability and lifey of different populations of brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenee)” were carried out in the Vegetable Entomology Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP). The samples of L. orbonalis were collected from three locations of Himachal Pradesh viz., Rohru (District Shimla), Nauni (District Solan) and Rampur (District Una), two locations from Punjab viz., Phagwara (District Jalandhar) and Dindsha (District Firozpur), two locations from Haryana viz., Brass (District Karnal) and Chang (District Bhiwani) during 2019-2020. The pair-wise genetic distance of L. orbonalis populations collected from different regions of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana ranged from 0.0000 to 0.0044. The phylogenetic analysis revealed two distinct clades based on the COI gene of mitochondrial region of L. orbonalis. The population of L. orbonalis from Shimla (MW363534), Solan (MW344268), Una (MW363538), Karnal (MW363539), and Jalandhar (MW363537) were clustered together in clade I due to their close proximity, while population of L. orbonalis from Firozpur (MW363535) and Bhiwani (MW363536) were clubbed in clade II. The average nucleotide compositions were found to be adenine (30.46 %), thymine (39.57 %), guanine (14.02 %) and cytosine (15.93 %). Biological and life fertility studies of the L. orbonalis revealed that the maximum duration of pre-adult period (26.71 days) was for Shimla population followed by Solan (25.35 days), Una (24.60 days), Firozpur (23.12 days), Bhiwani (23.00 days), Jalandhar (22.64 days) and least for Karnal population (22.13 days), whereas the intrinsic rate of increase (r) was maximum for population from Firozpur (0.146) followed by Bhiwani (0.145), Solan (0.144), Shimla (0.135), Karnal (0.132), Una (0.130) and least (0.123) was from Jalandhar population.
