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 LIFE AND FERTILITY TABLES OF Meloidogyne incognita ON DIFFERENT VEGETABLE CROPS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2017-11) RASNA, DEVI; SHARMA, G.C.
    ABSTRACT The present investigation on “Studies on life and fertility tables of Meloidogyne incognita on different vegetable crops” was carried out during 2015-2016 in the Department of Entomology, Dr. Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. Five different vegetable crops viz. tomato, cucumber, okra, French bean and cauliflower were selected for the studies and were carried out under room and controlled temperature conditions (28.8±2.4°C and 25.0±1°C, respectively). Results revealed that at constant temperature, the total developmental period of the nematode was 30, 32, 26, 32 and 25 days on tomato, cucumber, okra, French bean and cauliflower, respectively, while at room temperature it was 34, 23, 27, 31 and 27 days, respectively. Significant variation in the fecundity of M. incognita was found on five vegetable crops. It was found to be highest on cucumber (869.45 eggs/ female) and minimum on cauliflower (348.69 eggs/ female) at constant temperature, while at room temperature maximum on tomato (902.83 eggs/ female) and minimum on okra (272.55 eggs/ female). Maximum time to complete one generation by the nematode was on tomato (26.35 days), while the minimum time was taken on okra (12.38 days).Under room temperature the maximum generation time was on tomato and minimum on cucumber. At constant temperature, the nematode took 4.85, 2.89, 4.23, 3.24 and 3.59 days to double itself on tomato, cucumber, okra, French bean and cauliflower, respectively, while under room temperature it was 3.19, 2.97, 4.78, 3.30 and 4.36 days respectively. At constant temperature, the true intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and the finite rate of natural increase ( ) were maximum in cucumber and tomato, respectively, while they were minimum in vice versa parameters. However, under room temperature the above two parameters were highest in cucumber (0.23) and okra (1.93), respectively, while minimum in okra (0.145) and cucumber (1.46), respectively.

    STUDIES ON PREDACIOUS NEMATODE (ORDER: MONONCHIDA JAIRAJPURI, 1969) ASSOCIATED WITH FLOWER CROPS UNDER PROTECTED CULTIVATION IN DISTRICT SOLAN (HP)
    (2013) RASNA, DEVI; SHARMA, G.C.
    ABSTRACT The present investigations were carried out during the period of research on “Studies on predaceous nematode (Order : Mononchida Jairajpuri, 1969) associated with flower crops under protected cultivation in district Solan (Himachal Pradesh)”. Four mononchids viz; Mylonchulus (M. brachyuris), Iotonchus (I. monhystera), Mononchus (M. truncatus) and Clarkus (C. papillatus) were found harbouring the rhizosphere of flower crops (carnation, rose and chrysanthemum), along with plant parasitic nematodes namely; Meloidogyne (M. incognita J2), Helicotylenchus (H. dihystera), Tylenchorhynchus (T. mashhoodi), Pratylenchus (P. coffeae) and Paratylenchus (P. curvitatus). Among the mononchids, maximum incidence was of Mononchus (in 35%), followed by Mylonchulus (33%), Iotonchus (25%) and Clarkus (2%). Highest population was recorded for the Mylonchulus (400/ 200 cc soil), followed by the Iotonchus and the Clarkus (180) while it remained minimum for the Mononchus (120). With highest average population of 54.90, Mylonchulus dominance the other mononchids. There was recorded –ve correlation between predatory and plant parasitic nematode populations in all the localities surveyed/ sampled. Although, overall results showed positive correlation between mononchid population and edaphic factors viz; pH, moisture, temperature and organic carbon, on the nematode population was more pronounced due to moisture and organic carbon. Too acidic soils (within a pH range of 3.69-5.73) were found free from the mononchids , while proportionate increase in their populations were observed within a pH range of 5.78-6.58. However, after 7.0 pH there was again recorded gradual decrease in the population.
