Significant Research Contribution

1.

Increasing ‘O’ and ‘OO’ quality rapeseed-mustard production through on-farm demonstration and training

Dr. H.L Thakur

1997

1999

ICAR-UNDP

I) 40 demonstrations of Hyola-401, a’00’ hybrid of gobhi-sarson were conducted on farmers field.  Hyola-401 out yielded Varuna by margin of 58.9 %

2) 150 farmers from district Kangra were imparted training for production of quality gobhi-sarson

2

Biodiversity and efficacy of locally available plants / obnoxious weeds against insect-pests and diseases

Dr. Ajay Srivastava

2001

2004

Ministry of Environment and Forests

I) Efficacy of extracts 189 plants samples collected from different parts of North Western Himalayas has been tested against major diseases and insect-pests of oilseed crops.

2) The extracts of Cnicus wallichii, Eupatorium adenophorum, Ipomea cornea, Eucalyptus citroda, Ficus roxburghii, Agave americana and Thuja orientalis were found effective

 

3

Induction of resistance in mustard against Albugo candida and Alternaria brasssicae using botanical extracts and investigation of underlying biochemical mechanism

Dr. Sanjay

 Guleria

2004

2007

Department of Science and Technology

I) Aqueous   extracts of Azadirachta. indica, Agave americana, Eucalyptus. citriodora and Zanthoxylem. alatum provided 85.8-92.0% reduction in severity of white rust disease of mustard.

2) Aqueous   extracts of A. americana, Z. alatum, Aegle marmelos, Sapindus mukorossi and Terminalia belerica gave 64.9-79.9% control of Alternaria blight of mustard in pots through induced resistance.

3) Investigation of underlying mechanism of induction of resistance through botanical extracts   revealed the increase in the levels of enzymes phenylalanine  ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (PO) and content of phenolic compounds.

A biopesticide mediated value chain for clean vegetables

Dr Ashok Kumar

2008

2012

NAIP

Effective fractions of Eupatorium adenophorum and Melia azaedrach against major pathogens of Cauliflower and Pea were identified

             

5

Demonstration

and popularization of single cross maize hybrid seed production technology

Dr. K. S. Thakur

2011

2013

RKVY

Seed production of HQPM-1 was demonstrated  &  popularized among  farmers of the State

             

6

Evaluation of Indian Mustard under CRP on Agrodiversity PGR-Component-II

Dr. Adarsh Bala

2014

2016

ICAR

Identified 15 genotypes with high yield and its component traits amongst 1350 genotypes of Rapeseed–Mustard which can be  introgressed in agronomically superior mustard genotypes through appropriate breeding  programmes to enhance seed yield of  Mustard in Himachal Pradesh.

             

7

Development of module for management of yellow rust of Wheat

 

Dr. Ashok 

Kumar

 

2013

2016

ICAR

One spray either of Propiconazole, Tebuconazole or Nativo just after the appearance of disease completely checked the disease in moderately resistant variety HPW- 249. Two sprays of either of Nativo followed by Propiconazole or Nativo followed by Tebuconazole or Propiconazole followed by Tebuconazole completely checked the disease of   susceptible variety HS 240.
