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.

    STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF PLANT GROWTH PROMOTING RHIZOBACTERIA ON WHEAT (Triticum aestivum)GROWING IN MID HILL ZONE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2019-04) KUMAR, VIJAY; SHARMA, NIVEDITA
    ABSTRACT The present investigation was an attempt made for the isolation and identification of most potent PGPR and to test their efficacy for plant growth promotion of Triticum aestivum. In total 73 bacterial isolates were isolated from six different sites of Solan and Sirmour district. All isolates were screened out for multifarious plant growth promoting traits viz. phosphate solubilization, siderophores, protease, chitinase, cellulase, production of HCN, ammonia and plant growth regulators. Out of total 73 isolates, 60 isolates were positive for P-solubilization, 61 produce siderophore, 62 were positive for protease, 6 were positive for cellulase and 15 were positive for chitinase production, Only 13 showed HCN production and all the isolates showed ammonia production. Three potential PGPR i.e. Dh-7, Kn-7 and De-21 were selected based on criteria of total PGP potential and examination of individual PGP attribute. These isolates were identified as De-21 Pseudomonas putida |MH362752|, Kn-7 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia |MH362753| and Dh-7 Bacillus pumilus |MH362754| by 16S rRNA gene technique. These screened isolates were further examined for the production of plant growth regulators viz., auxins was recorded in the range of 24-64 µg/ml, gibberellins production was found in the range of 110-550 µg/ml, whereas cytokinins production was in the range of 120-370 µg/ml. All the three screened isolates were selected for the net house and field trial at Dharja and Damrog. Treatments of individual strains and their consortia have different effects on the various plant growth promoting parameters. The germination percentage of seeds in net house was recorded 100 % in most of treatments except i.e 95.33% in Kn-7+De-21 with 50% NPK and 96.33% in Dh-7+De-21 with 50% NPK. The maximum shoot height i.e 19.83 cm, chlorophyll ‘a’ content 0.138 mg/g, chlorophyll ‘b’ content 0.264 mg/g and total chlorophyll content 0.386 mg/g were observed under net house conditions.The seeds germination percentage was recorded 100% in each treatment along with control plants (without PGPR inoculations) at both the site except control plants with 50% NPK (95%) at Dharja. The maximum shoot growth i.e 34.13 cm was noticed at Dharja and 24.04 cm was recorded at Damrog. The maximum number of leaves 19 were recorded at Dharja and 18 were recorded at Damrog site. The highest tiller number was recorded 7 per plant at Dharja while it was highest i.e 5 per plant at Damrog site. The maximum size of spike i.e 4.90 cm and 4.40 cm was found at Dharja and Damrog respectively. Maximum grain yield was found in consortia of three isolates with 100% NPK (208.76 gm) with an increase of 47.18% increased closely followed by consortia of three isolates (208.56 gm) with 47.13% increase over control plants. On the basis of these findings, consortia of three isolates (Pseudomonas putida De21, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Kn-7, Bacillus pumilus Dh-7) with 100% NPK was found to be the best treatment among closely followed by consortia of three isolates without any chemical fertilizer. Thus consortia of potential PGPR strains could be used as biofertilizer for sustainable cultivation of Triticum aestivum of which could be helpful in its cultivation. The growth promotion in the various plant parameters of wheat with consortia treatment over control (without PGPR inoculation) have successfully fulfilled the main objectives of this study.
