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 IN VITRO SHOOT REGENERATION IN CYTOPLASMIC MALE STERILE LINES OF BELL PEPPER (Capsicum annuum L.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2021-12) PRIYANKA; ANUPAMA SINGH
    ABSTRACT Capsicum is one of the most important vegetable crop. Male sterility is a desirable trait for hybrid seed production as it can reduce the cost of seed production drastically. However, maintaining CMS lines is quite difficult as it requires repeated crossing to a maintainer line. Tissue cultured male sterile line can be raised without any problem of crossing and enables to save land, time and labour. Therefore, in the present study, shoot regeneration was attempted in cytoplasmic male lines of bell pepper using different explants. Three different types of explants i.e., nodal segments, cotyledons and hypocotyls were used for in vitro shoot regeneration for male sterile and maintainer line of bell pepper and tested on various combinations and concentrations of growth regulators. Surface sterilants, bavistin (0.4%), sodium hypochlorite (0.2%) and mercuric chloride (0.1%) were found effective in surface sterilization of nodal segments. Per cent shoot regeneration was maximum with nodal explants i.e., 56.90% in male sterile and 58.30% in maintainer lines of bell pepper. The MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/L BAP and 0.5 mg/L IAA proved best for both lines while the multiplication rate was highest in MS medium supplemented with 5 mg/L BAP, 0.5 mg/L IAA and 0.1 mg/L GA3 with the multiplication rate of 1:4 and 1:3 in male sterile and maintainer lines, respectively. Shoot regeneration was also obtained from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants in MS medium supplemented with 7.5 mg/L zeatin and 2 mg/L GA3

    STUDIES ON RELATIONSHIP OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS WITH APPLE CROP PHENOLOGY IN DIFFERENT AGRO-CLIMATE ZONES OF HIMACHAL PRADESH
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2020-02) PRIYANKA; BHARDWAJ, S K
    ABSTRACT The present investigations entitled “Studies on relationship of environmental factors with apple crop phenology in different agro-climate zones of Himachal Pradesh” was conducted during the years 2016 and 2017 in the Department of Environmental Science, Dr YSP University of Horticulture and Forestry, NauniSolan HP. The field experiment was laid out in Random Block Design (Factorial) by taking apple orchards in three agro-climatic zones at four elevations viz., 1000-1400 m amsl, 1400-1800 m amsl,1800-2200 m amsl and 2200-2600 m amsl, respectively falling in three agroclimatic zones of HP. At each selected elevation five commercial growing varieties of apple namely Royal Delicious, Red Fuji, Golden Delicious, Red Chief and Gale Gala were taken. Accordingly, there were 20 treatment combinations which were replicated four timesby taking four orchards at each elevation. The trends of weather and chill units were worked out by taking 30 years data. In the apple growing districts the annual average temperature showed increasing trend in the order of 0.048oC/year (Kullu)> 0.040oC/year (Shimla)> 0.021oC/year (Kinnaur). In apple growing districts chill units decreased to the tune of 6.61 to 13.09 per year. In Shimla and Kinnaur districts of the state the apple productivityincreased at the rate of0.024 and 0.10 tons/ha/year whereas, it exhibited decreasing trend at the rate of 0.08 tons/ha/year in Kullu district. Number of Julian days taken to attain phenophases from bud burst to fruit maturity follow the order 143.8 (2200-2600m amsl) > 140.4 (1800-2200 m amsl) > 126.6 (1400-1800 m amsl) > 125.3 (1000-1400 m amsl). Apple cultivars exhibited variations in days for attaining phenophases from bud burst to fruit maturity in the range of 130.3 to 138.6 days and variety wise order was 138.6 days (Royal delicious) > 134.8 days (Red fuji) > 134.2 days (Golden delicious) > 132.2 days (Red chief) > 130.3 days (Gale gala). The phenophases (bud burst to fruit maturity) accumulated highest GDD (1215.0) at lower altitude range (1000-1400 m amsl) and lowest 1129.5 at higher altitude range 2200-2600 m amsl. The zone wise irregularity to attain the various phenological stages as per instability index was in the range of 10.8 – 15.0 %. The irregularity to attain the phenological stages was relatively less at higher altitude which followed an increasing trend with decrease in altitude range. Soil available NPK exhibited highly significant and positive correlation with productivity except lower altitude range 1000-1400 m amsl. The highly suitable areas for apple crop were predominantly at higher altitudinal areas like Bhang, Naggar, Manali and Raisan in Kullu; Kotgarh, Jubbal, Kumarsain, Chopal and Rohru of Shimla and Kinnaur district covering Sangla, Kalpa, Sharbo and Pooh. Some areas of Lahaul and Spiti such as Tabo and Kaza. The marginally suitable areas were at the elevation of 10001400 m amsl replaced by Bajaura and Bhuntar in Kullu district; Karsog, Nagwain and Jhanjheli in Manali; Theogin lower parts of Shimla and few pockets namely Salooni and Bharmaur in Chamba; Bara Bhangal area in Kangra district. The study inferred that environm
