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.

    RADIATION AND THERMAL USE EFFICIENCY OF PEA CROP UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2019-10) DEVI, SAVITA; JANGRA, MOHAN SINGH
    ABSTRACT A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2017-18 to the radiation and thermal use efficiency of pea crop under different environmental conditions. The experiment consist of two dates of sowing viz 1st and 15th December 2017-18 with three cultivars Azad P1, PB-89 and ESP-111under two orientations level O1 (N-S) and O2 (E-W), in the Experimental Farm under the Department of Environmental Science, College of Forestry, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. The results indicated that Azad P-1, PB-89 and ESP-111 took 113, 115 and 121 days and to 911.86, 895.10 and 986.80 °C day GDD, respectively to reach physiological maturity under first date of sowing. Similarly, for second date of sowing Azad P-1, PB-89 and ESP-111 took 109, 107 and 114 days and to 869.57, 883.13 and 978.71 °C day GDD, respectively to reach physiological maturity A significant increasing trend was observed in different thermal units viz GDD, HTU, PTU and HYTU with days after sowing for various phenophases of Pea cultivars at varying environment. The thermal units explained 65.9 per cent variation in canopy development (LAI) and 66.1 per cent variation in grain yield of Pea cultivars. Heat use efficiency with respect to pod and grain was found higher for V2 followed by V1 and V3 due to higher dry matter production under V2. It was found higher in case of earlier sown crop than late sown. A decreasing trend was observed in radiation use efficiency with delayed sown crop. Among varieties the radiation use efficiency was higher in V2 (PB-89) followed by V1 (Azad-P1) and V3 (ESP 111) in respect of row orientation, the highest radiation use efficiency was recorded in N-S as compared to E-W sown crop at flowering, pod formation and maturity. The soil temperature, temperature within canopy, evapotranspiration, LAI, HI and dry matte was higher in N-S orientation compared to E-W orientation whereas, relative humidity was higher in E-W orientation than N-S in Pea cultivars.
