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.

    VARIABILITY STUDIES IN BOMBAY EBONY (Diospyros montana Roxb.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2021-10) SAINI, PRATIKSHA; SAINI, PRATIKSHA; ANITA KUMARI; ANITA KUMARI
    ABSTRACT The present study was confined to 19 mother trees of Diospyros montana Roxb. distributed in Solan districts of Himachal Pradesh. Mother trees were selected from Nalagarh and Baddi area of Solan district. Variation in fruit, seed and seedling traits were studied by collecting fruits of this species in the month of Feb- March (2020). Repeatability coefficient was recorded maximum for seed length. GCV, PCV and heritability was recorded maximum for germination percent. There was large variation in tree phenotypic characters, fruit and seed traits. The maximum fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width and germination percent was recorded for M5 and M7. Seedling parameters were recorded maximum for M7. Great variation was recorded for wood parameters. Maximum specific gravity was recorded for M7 and M2, fiber length and fiber diameter was recorded for M8 and M19 and holocellulose content was maximum for M15. Maximum moisture content showed significant correlation with specific gravity and alcohol- benzene extractives. Fiber length is correlated with fiber diameter. Seventy three point thirty nine percent of total variation was explained by three components for leaf, fruit and seed characters and 89.88% of variation was showed by five PCA for wood parameters
