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.

    GENETIC EVALUATION OF CHERRY TOMATO
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2021-10) BHARDWAJ, PRIYANKA; THAKUR, BHUPINDER SINGH
    ABSTRACT During the kharif season of 2020, the current research, entitled "Genetic Evaluation of Cherry Tomato" was conducted at the Regional Horticultural Research and Training Station, Bajaura, Kullu (HP). The germplasm, containing 25 genotypes, was analyzed for level of variability, heritability, genetic advance, genetic gain, correlation coefficients, direct and indirect effects of characters and genetic divergence. In RCBD, the experiment was laid out with three replications at spacing of 90 cm x 30 cm in plots measuring 2.1 m x 1.5 m. Solan Red Round was used as check variety. Based on ANOVA, significant variability was observed in all genotypes for all of the traits studied. In the current study, EC27251, EC531802, EC164658 and EC177370 performed better than other genotypes for yield and other imperative horticultural characters. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation, heritability and genetic gain were high for number of fruits per cluster and fruit yield per plant. Fruit yield per plant was positively and significantly correlated with total number of fruits per plant, number of fruiting clusters, average fruit weight, pericarp thickness and titratable acidity at both phenotypic and genotypic levels. The path coefficient analysis revealed that total number of fruits per plant had the greatest positive direct contribution towards fruit yield per plant followed by pericarp thickness, days to 50 % flowering, plant height, TSS, number of branches, titratable acidity, average fruit weight, fruit shape index and number of seeds. Mahalanobis D2 statistics grouped 25 genotypes into four clusters. The results revealed that the genotypes from cluster III & IV can result in efficient hybridization for the improvement of various horticultural attributes
