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.

    EFFECT OF IBA CONCENTRATIONS AND GROWING MEDIA ON GROWTH AND ROOTING PERFORMANCE OF APPLE ROOTSTOCK BUD 9
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2012-12) AMANDEEP; SHARMA, C L
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Effect of IBA concentrations and growing media on growth and rooting performance of apple rootstock Bud 9” was undertaken at Pandah Experimental Farm of Department of Seed Science & Technology, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry Nauni, Solan H.P. during 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Complete Block Design (Factorial) with twelve treatment combinations replicated thrice, comprising of three IBA levels (0, 2000 and 2500 ppm) and four growing media (soil, sawdust, crop residue and FYM). Among different levels of IBA, the treatment IBA @ 2500 ppm recorded length of daughter shoot (137.26 cm), diameter of daughter shoot (10.41 mm), number of leaves (76.40), leaf area (44.99 cm2), leaf chlorophyll content (2.01 mg g-1), fresh weight of daughter shoot (118.65 g), dry weight of daughter shoot (61.66 g), per cent rooted shoots (73.98 %), average number of roots (10.85), longest root (27.95 cm), shortest root (6.85 cm), average root length (26.38 cm), root diameter (1.66 mm), fresh weight of roots (69.04 g), dry weight of roots (38.95 g), root: shoot ratio (0.61) and total biomass of rooted shoot (100.61 g). Among growing media, sawdust resulted in maximum length of daughter shoot (118.12 cm), diameter of daughter shoot (10.39 mm), number of leaves (74.10), leaf area (39.59 cm2), fresh weight of daughter shoot (117.16 g), dry weight of daughter shoots (62.41 g), per cent rooted shoots (67.73 %), average number of roots (10.14), longest root (27.51 cm), shortest root (6.55 cm), average root length (27.31 cm), root diameter (1.86 mm), fresh weight (66.41 g) and dry weight of roots (35.94 g), total biomass of rooted shoot (98.35 g). The interaction of IBA @ 2500 ppm + sawdust had exhibited maximum length of daughter shoot (143.73 cm), diameter of daughter shoot (12.12 mm), number of leaves (79.16), leaf area (48.18 cm2), fresh (143.50 g) and dry weight of shoots (74.50 g), per cent rooted shoots (76.23 %), average number of roots (13.16), longest root (32.11 cm), shortest root (9.11), average root length (32.16 cm), root diameter (2.34 mm), fresh weight of roots (86.16 g), dry weight of roots (50.50 g) and total biomass of rooted shoot (125.00 g

    DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF APPLE-WHEY BASED LOW CALORIE FUNCTIONAL BEVERAGES
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2017-12) CHOUDHARY, RICHA; SHARMA, RAKESH
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled, “Development and evaluation of apple-whey based low calorie beverages” was conducted to evaluate the suitability of incorporation of whey in apple juice and replacing sugar sweetness with the sweetness of non-nutritive sweeteners viz. sweetos and sucralose for preparing low calorie functional beverages. Blending of apple juice with whey up to a level of 25% did not affect the sensory quality of apple juice. Therefore, the beverage prepared by using 75 per cent apple juice + 25 per cent whey with 130B TSS was selected on the basis of better sensory characteristics. Further, blending has also increased the protein content (0.29%) and calcium content (15.64mg/100mL) in the resultant beverage. In order to enhance the overall acceptability of apple-whey beverage, various herbs and spices extracts such as mint leaves, cumin, cumin + mint leaves and jaljeera extract were tried at different concentrations viz. 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 per cent. The beverage prepared with 2.5 per cent jaljeera extract was found to be best with improved sensory, nutritional and medicinal properties followed by that prepared with 2.0 per cent cumin extract. Herbal apple-whey beverage so developed contained higher ascorbic acid (10.57 mg/100g), total phenolics contents (37.86 mg/100g), antioxidant potential (40.34 per cent) and showed strong antimicrobial activity against E coli. compared to apple-whey beverage (without spice extract). Among nonnutritive sweeteners, use of sweetos at 75 per cent and sucralose at 100 per cent level of sucrose substitution was optimized to prepare apple-whey based low calorie beverages. Furthermore, sweetos has also increased the fructo-oligosaccharides content of the beverage from 0.04 to 1.59 per cent. The storage study indicated that the beverages showed changes in their various physico-chemical and sensory attributes when stored at ambient temperature (12-25oC) whereas, these changes were negligible under refrigerated temperature (4-7oC) during storage up to 60 days. The apple-whey beverages prepared with 75 per cent sweetos and 100 per cent sucralose showed 40.54 Kcal/100g and 32.22 Kcal/100g energy value and as such brought about 19.6 per cent and 35.75 per cent reduction in calories over 100 per cent sucrose sweetened beverage, respectively. Overall, the results of present investigation provide an effective way of delivering health benefits of both apple juice and whey to the consumers in the form of a palatable and nutritious beverage with reduced energy value. Hence, their availability in the market will definitely benefit the health conscious people.
