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.

    EXPLORATION OF GENETIC VARIABILITY IN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.) PRESENT IN SUBTROPICAL REGION OF HIMACHAL PRADESH
    (COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE AND FORESTRY, DR Y S P UHF, NERI, HAMIRPUR, 2019-11-11) BHARDWAJ, SACHIN; DOGRA, B S
    The present investigation entitled “Exploration of genetic variability in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) present in subtropical region of Himachal Pradesh” was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur (HP) during Kharif season, 2018. Twenty genotypes including check variety Surajmukhi were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications to ascertain extent of variability, heratibility, genetic advance and gain, correlation and path coefficient analysis for yield and other horticulture traits along with the estimation of genetic divergence among the genotypes. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. Three genotypes namely LC-C-22, LC-C-17 and LC-C-8 were found to be high yielding as well as better from consumer’s point of view. They could be the promising parents for utilization in further breeding programmes. High PCV and GCV existed for marketable fruit yield per plant, Fruit length, average fruit weight, Number of marketable fruits per plant, and Number of primary branches per plant, Stem length to forking and Fruit diameter. High heritability estimates were observed for all the traits among all genotypes while high estimates of genetic gain were observed for. high for Marketable fruit yield per plant, fruit length, number of marketable fruits per plant, average fruit weight, number of primary branches per plant, stem length to forking, fruit diameter, plant height, plant spread, pedicel length, weight of 100 seeds and number of seeds per fruit. The correlation studies at phenotypic and genotypic level revealed that marketable fruit yield per plant had positive and significant association with average fruit weight, fruit length, number of marketable fruits per plant, number of primary branches and pedicel length. Path analysis revealed that average fruit weight, fruit diameter, number of marketable fruits per plant and number of primary branches had positive and direct effects on marketable fruit yield per plant. Genetic divergence studies revealed that the intra-cluster distance varied from cluster I to cluster III whereas, the inter cluster distance was maximum to the tune of between cluster II and III and therefore hybridization between genotypes of cluster II and III will be more rewarding for getting superior progenies.
