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.

    EFFECT OF FOLIAR SPRAYS OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE, PUTRESCINE AND SALICYLIC ACID ON YIELD, FRUIT QUALITY AND SHELF LIFE OF PEACH [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch.]
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2023-10-07) BHARTI; VISHAL S RANA
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Effect of foliar sprays of Calcium Chloride, Putrescine and Salicylic acid on yield, fruit quality and shelf life of peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch.]”was carried out in the experimental block of the Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni - Solan (Himachal Pradesh) during the year 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (Factorial) consisting of ten treatments, replicated thrice. The treatments namely; Calcium Chloride, Salicylic acid and Putrescine were applied at pit hardening stage, 2 weeks before harvest and 1 week before harvest, respectively. The treatments were T1 : Calcium Chloride 1.0%, T2 : Calcium Chloride 1.5%, T3 : Calcium Chloride 2.0%, T4 : Salicylic acid 2.0 mM, T5 : Salicylic acid 3.0mM, T6 : Salicylic acid 4.0mM, T7 : Putrescine 2.0mM , T8 : Putrescine 3.0mM, T9 : Putrescine 4.0mM and T10: control (water spray). The results from the present investigation revealed that Calcium Chloride @ 1.0% and Putrescine @ 2.0mM significantly increased yield and physico-chemical characteristics of the fruits. However, the application of Calcium Chloride @ 2.0% also exhibited better storage performance and shelf life of fruits during 9 days of storage. Thus, the application of Calcium Chloride @ 1.0-2.0% can be used for enhancement of yield, quality and shelf life of fruits. Among two cultivarsunderstudy, Redhaven performed better than the Glohaven in terms of yield, fruit quality and shelf life.

    “Stability analysis of resin yield of natural regenerated Pinus roxburghii Sargent
    (2013) BHARTI; GUPTA, R.K.
    ABSTRACT The present study entitled “Stability analysis of resin yield of natural regenerated Pinus roxburghii Sargent” was undertaken in the Department of Basic Science, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan 173230 (H.P.) during 2012-2013. Secondary data on resin yield for 145 trees for seven years from 2005-2011 were taken and the data were subjected to the stability analysis. Wricke model (1962), Finlay and Wilkinson’s (1963) and Eberhart and Russell’s (1966) were used to identify stable diameter class. Diameter classes 35-40 cm and 40-45 cm were found to be most stable diameter classes by using all stability models. 145 trees were divided into seven diameter classes. Lognormal and gamma probability distributions were tried to find out the number of trees in each diameter class and both distributions were statistically fitted with observed diameter distribution, however resin yield showed behavior of lognormal distribution.
