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.

    GENETIC AND MOLECULAR STUDIES OF SOME IMPORTANT HORTICULTURAL AND YIELD TRAITS IN CUCUMBER (Cucumis sativus L.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2017) THAKUR, MANISHA; RAMESH, KUMAR
    ABSTRACT The present studies entitled “Genetic and molecular studies of some important horticultural and yield traits in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)” were carried out at the Experimental Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during the years 2015 and 2016. The experimental material for the present study comprised of six parents and F1 population of fifteen crosses, developed by crossing these six diverse cucumber genotypes in diallel design (excluding reciprocals). All the parents and their hybrids along with the standard check (KH-1) were planted in a Randomized Complete Block Design for their evaluation in Kharif, 2016. The observations were recorded on days to first female flower appearance, node number bearing first female flower, days to marketable maturity, fruit length (cm), fruit breadth (cm), average fruit weight (g), fruit colour, number of marketable fruits per plant, harvest duration (days), marketable yield per plot (kg) & per hectare (q), total soluble solids (oB), seed germination (%) and seed vigour index-I and II, incidence of fruit fly (%), severity of powdery mildew (%) and severity of downy mildew (%). The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits studied. Experimental results revealed that four genotypes viz., Khira-75, UHF-CUC-1, UHF CUC-2 and PI-618860 were found superior on the basis of mean performance and general combining ability studies. Five cross combinations viz., Khira-75 x PI-618860, Khira-75 x UHF-CUC-1, Khira-75 x UHF-CUC-2, UHF-CUC-1x PI-618860 and UHF-CUC-2 x PI-618860 were found best on the basis of mean performance, specific combining ability and heterosis studies. Hence, these hybrid combinations can be tested further at multiplications before releasing as a substitute of already existing hybrid varieties of cucumber in Himachal Pradesh and in India as well. Gene action studies indicated predominance of dominance effects in governing most of the traits suggesting exploitation of hybrid vigour and developing hybrids for improvement of these traits in cucumber on the basis of present studies. Hybrid purity studies revealed that one primer CSN 160 produced both the bands in parents as well as in F1 population. Validation of molecular markers was confirmed with SSR00262, SSR17922, SSR10018 and SSR01331 for earliness, peduncle length and horticulturally important traits respectively.

    GENETIC EVALUATION OF LETTUCE (Lactuca sativa L.) GERMPLASM UNDER PROTECTED CONDITIONS
    (2013) THAKUR, MANISHA; RAMESH, KUMAR
    Abstract The present investigation entitled “Genetic evaluation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) germplasm under protected conditions” was carried out at experimental farm of Department of Vegetable Science, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2011-12 and 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD with three replications. Twenty eight genotypes including check cultivars (Simpson Black Seeded and Great Lakes) were evaluated for different horticultural traits. The observations were recorded on days to marketable maturity, leaf colour, number of non-wrapper leaves, gross and net head weight, heading percentage, yield per plot, β-carotene, calcium & iron contents, seed germination, seed vigour index-I & II, 1000-seeds weight, head shape index and incidence of diseases. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among genotypes for all the characters under study. Six genotypes namely UHF-Sel.-06, UHF-Sel.-03, UHF-Sel.-01, CGN-05167, CGN-10944 and CGN-14629 gave higher yield over both the check cultivars and also performed better for other horticultural traits viz. days taken to marketable maturity, gross and net head weight, heading percentage, 1000-seeds weight, seed germination percentage, seed vigour index-I and II. Genotype UHF Sel.-07 performed better than both the checks for β-carotene and iron contents. Genotypes Sol. Let.-1, CGN-20721, CGN-05167 and CGN-14651 showed field resistance against the incidence of sclerotinia rot and gray mould diseases under protected conditions. High heritability estimates coupled with moderate genetic gain were observed for yield and other horticultural traits. Yield was positively correlated with gross and net head weight, seed germination, seed vigour index-I & II and 1000-seeds weight and also showed maximum direct effects towards yield per plot. Maximum number of genotypes viz., 10, 8, 5, 3 and 2 were accommodated by cluster-V followed III, IV, I and cluster-II respectively. Further divergence studies indicated that hybridization between cluster-I and IV in both the cases can be utilized for getting the superior recombinants in segregating generations
