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 EXOTIC GERMPLASM OF RED CABBAGE (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2019-10) DEEP, NAYAN; KUMAR, RAMESH
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Genetic evaluation of exotic germplasm of red cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra)” was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during Rabi season, 2018-19. Twenty eight genotypes including check variety Kinner Red were evaluated to ascertain extent of genetic variability, correlations, path analysis and genetic divergence. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The observation were recorded on days to fifty per cent marketable maturity, number of non-wrapper leaves, head compactness (g/cm3), head color, head shape, gross and net head weight (g), equatorial and polar diameter of head (cm), stalk length (cm), core length (cm), yield per plot (kg) and per hectare (q) and vitamin C content (mg/ 100g). Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. Three genotypes namely EC 890012, EC 890013 and EC 890011 gave higher yield and also performed better for quality and other horticultural traits than Kinner Red. High heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance were observed for days to fifty per cent marketable maturity, stalk length and core length. Moderate to high heritability along with moderate genetic advance was observed for head compactness, net and gross head weight, polar and equatorial diameter of head, vitamin C content. Net head weight was positively associated with vitamin C content, gross head weight, polar diameter of head, core and stalk length, number of nonwrapper leaves, head compactness, days to fifty per cent marketable maturity, while it had negative significant association with equatorial diameter of head at genotypic level. Among all the traits studied, core length had maximum positive direct effect on net head weight followed by polar diameter, gross head weight, number of non wrapper leaves, vitamin C content and days to fifty per cent marketable maturity. Genetic divergence studies revealed that cluster II accommodated maximum genotypes (13) and cluster I and IV being more diverse, hybridization between genotypes will be more rewarding for getting superior hybrids and transgressive segregants
