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.

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.

    (UHF,NAUNI,SOLAN, 2010) ABUBAKAR, AZIZ REHMAN; MEHTA, KULDEEP
    ABSTRACT The present experiment was laid out in the experimental orchard of the Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni-Solan (H.P). The experiment consisted of 19 treatments with three replications laid out in Randomized Block Design. The biostimulants applied were Vipul (5 ml/l, 10 ml/l, 15 ml/l), Cytozyme (1 ml/l, 2 ml/l, 4 ml/l), Homobrassinolides (0.5 ml/l, 1 ml/l, 1.5 ml/l), Biozyme (1 ml/l, 2 ml/l, 3 ml/l), Vipul + Homobrassinolides (0.5 + 5 ml/l, 1 + 5 ml/l, 1.5 + 5 ml/l, 5 + 0.5 ml/l, 5 + 1 ml/l, 5 + 1.5 ml/l) and control. The results revealed that plant biostimulants significantly improved plant growth, fruit set, yield, fruit quality, flowering and return bloom and reduced flower drop, fruit cracking and fruit drop. However, the effect of biostimulants on rind thickness was not significant. The highest canopy volume and highest increase in trunk girth, leaf area, yield/plant, fruit length, diameter, weight, volume, rind: rag: aril ratio, total and reducing sugars, sugar acid ratio, juice content, flowering and minimum rag percentage, non-reducing sugars, titratable acidity, fruit cracking and fruit drop were recorded in trees treated with Cytozyme 4 ml/l. The highest total chlorophyll content, TSS, return bloom and intensity in ground and over colour were observed with the application of Vipul 15ml/l, whereas the highest fruit set and minimum flower drop were recorded with Vipul + Homobrassinolides 1.5 + 5 ml/l.
