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 TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum L.) GERMPLASM FOR YIELD AND QUALITY TRAITS
    (COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE AND FORESTRY, DR Y S P UHF, NERI, HAMIRPUR, 2019-11-14) KASHYAP, ACHAL; KUMAR, DHARMENDRA
    The present investigation entitled “Genetic evaluation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) germplasm for yield and quality traits” was conducted at the experimental farm of RHR&TS, Jachh, Kangra, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during the year 2018. Twenty five diverse genotypes of tomato comprising of eleven varieties, ten exotic lines and three local collections along with one standard check Solan Lalima were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications to ascertain extent of variability, heritability, genetic advance and gain, correlation and path coefficient analysis for yield and other horticultural traits along with the estimation of genetic divergence among the genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. On the basis of overall performance, EC-802557, LC-2 and Arka Alok were found superior for marketable fruit yield and other important horticultural traits. They could be the promising parents for utilization in further breeding programmes. The estimates of PCV and GCV were high for marketable fruit yield per plant, number of locules per fruit, average fruit weight, harvest duration, shelf life and number of fruits per cluster. High heritability estimates were observed for all the traits among all genotypes while high estimates of genetic gain were observed for marketable fruit yield per plant, average fruit weight, harvest duration, shelf life, number of fruits per cluster, number of locules per fruit, number of fruits per plant, fruit breadth, pericarp thickness, number of fruit cluster per plant, fruit length and plant height. The correlation studies revealed that marketable fruit yield per plant had positive and significant correlation with fruit length, fruit breadth, average fruit weight, number of fruit clusters per plant, number of fruits per plant, number of locules per fruit, harvest duration, shelf life, pericarp thickness and total soluble solids. The path coefficient analysis revealed that maximum positive direct effect towards marketable fruit yield per plant was contributed by average fruit weight followed by fruit length, number of locules per fruit, fruit breadth and total soluble solids. Under genetic divergence studies, 25 genotypes were grouped in to five clusters and maximum inter cluster distance was recorded between cluster I and IV and lowest was observed between cluster I and V. Therefore, hybridization among the genotypes of cluster I and IV can be utilized to obtain superior hybrids or recombinants in later segregating generations.
