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.

    FLORAL BIOLOGY AND MANURIAL STUDIES IN CLARY SAGE (Salvia sclarea L.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2019-08) GAISINMEILU, KAMEI; SHARMA, KULWANT RAI
    ABSTRACT The present research entitled s“Floral biology and manurial studie in clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.)” were carried out in the experimental field as well as in laboratory of the Department of Forest Products, COF, UHF, Nauni, Solan (H.P) during 2017-18. In the first experiment “Study of floral biology on clary sage” was found to be herbaceous perennial, cross pollinated, aromatic herb with profusely flowering verticillasters. Roots were cymose tap root system. Stems were erect, thick, quadrangular and pubescent. Leaves of basal part were petiolate, broadly ovate shape, obtuse apex and cordate base, crenate margin, pubescent surface with dark green colour arranged in opposite and decussate manner. Inflorescence was comprised of verticillasters profusely branched spike with many bluish to purplish flowers. Flowers were hermaphrodite, zygomorphic, gamosepalous, bilipped, upper lip bilobed, lower lip trilobbed, two stamens, epipetalous, bicarpellary, syncarpous, superior, bifurcated stigma; schizocarpic nutlet fruit with axile placentation. Seed germination percentage in laboratory gave 86.67 ± 6.48 % and in open field gave 81.33 ± 2.77 %. In second experiment “Comparative efficacy of nutrient management on clary sage” the growth parameters and essential oil content (%) were investigated. In this experiment ten treatment consisting of control, NPK, FYM, vermicompost, FYM+NPK, Vermicompost+NPK, Jeevamrit (jersey), Jeevamrit (desi), Panchagavya (jersey) and Panchagavya (desi) were evaluated in RBD design with three replications in the field. The nutrient combination of Vermicompost (2 t/ha) + NPK (90:60:30 kg/ha) gave the maximum value of growth and yield parameter viz. spike length (67.30 cm), spike yield per plant (107.26 g), essential oil content (0.18%), estimated spike yield/ha (11917.68 kg/ha) and estimated essential oil yield (21.45 l/ha) which was followed by the combination of FYM (15 t/ha) + NPK (90:60:30 kg/ha). In the post-harvest soil the status of mineralizable nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic carbon were increased. Results revealed that combined application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers produced higher biomass and oil yield as compared to control and sole application. Maximum Benefit:Cost Ratio (1.69:1) was found in NPK+Vermicompost treatment followed by 1.53:1 in treatment NPK fertilizers
