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.)

    GENETIC EVALUATION OF CHILLI GENOTYPES FOR HORTICULTURAL TRAITS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2019-10) GARIMA; VIKRAM, AMIT
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Genetic evaluation of chilli genotypes for horticultural traits” was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, (HP) during kharif season of 2018. Twenty-one genotypes including check variety DKC-8 replicated thrice were evaluated for yield and other horticultural and biochemical traits to select the superior genotype. The experiment was laid out in RCBD in plots of size 2.25 m × 1.80 m. The genotype UHF-CHI-13 performed best in terms of yield and other horticultural traits over standard check variety. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation, high heritability coupled with high genetic gain was observed for number of green fruits per plant, number of red fruits per plant, average green fruit weight, average red fruit weight, green fruit length, red fruit length, green fruit breadth at the middle, red fruit breadth at the middle, green fruit yield per plant, fresh ripe yield per plant and total capsaicinoids content in green chilli and dry chilli. Correlation and path analysis when viewed together revealed the importance of number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, fruit length, fruit breadth and plant height on total fruit yield per plant at green and red fruit stage independently.
