The present study was conducted at Hill Agricultural Research and Extension centre, Kullu, in mid-hill sub-humid zone of Himachal Pradesh in order to investigate the effect of organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management practices on soil microbial properties. The microbial count was found maximum (6.5 X 105 cfu/ml) in organic plot and minimum (2.6 X 105 cfu/ml) in inorganic.

Palynological studies of pollen loads were carried out to determine the pollen sources for bumble bees under mid-hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh during 2016. The pollen loads were collected from queens and workers of B. haemorrhoidalis captured with the help of an insect net and then were released.

Bacterial canker of tomato caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) causes significant yield losses on tomatoes. It is newly observed bacterial disease in mid hills of Himachal Pradesh, India. Few or less work has, therefore, been done on this disease in the state. This study was conducted to find optimum growth conditions for the bacterium. Under present investigations, five isolates of Cmm were thus isolated and maintained in pure cultures.

Wild pomegranate is one of the important cash crop tree species of the mid-hill zone of western Himalayan region. A multistage random sampling technique was used for the selection of the respondents. The analysis was based on data based on survey of 50 farm households. Highest efficiency of channel-A was observed (271.73) but the volume transacted was very less (5 %) and high quality produce was traded through this channel.

The nature and magnitude of genetic divergence was estimated in 35 genotypes of tomato using Mahalanobis D2 – statistics. The genetic material revealed considerable amount of diversity for all the characters investigated. All the genotypes were grouped into 4 clusters. Maximum number of genotypes was accommodated in cluster III.

A study was carried out for three years at Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan to evaluate the effect of different sowing methods and plant densities on oil yield of Tagetes minuta. Different planting methods i.e. broadcasting and seedling planting with varying plant densities S1 (30 x 15cm), S2 (30 x 30cm), S3 (30 x 45cm), S4 (45 x 45cm) and S5 (45 x 60cm) were evaluated under RBD Factorial design. The leaves biomass (pre-flowering stage), flower biomass and leaf + flower biomass (full bloom stage) yielded maximum oil at S3 (30 x 45cm) spacing.

A study on the manurial quality of enriched organics was conducted in the research farm of CSKHPKV, Palampur (Himachal Pradesh) falling under wet temperate mid hill climatic condition for two years. Two organics namely farmyard manure and compost (prepared from locally available plant biomass comprising of clippings of Lantana camara and Eupatorium spp) were enriched with indigenous Jhamarkotra Phosphate Rock (JPR-A) containing 8.1% P in the clay lined pits of 1 m3 size.

The impact of mountain cropping systems on soil properties, nutrient availability and soil carbon sequestration potential was studied during the years 2014 and 2015 in mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh. The four commonly occurring cropping systems namely vegetable, fruit, cereal crop and agroforestry were selected. Barren land in the region was considered as control. In total, there were five treatments which were replicated six times under randomized block design.

Forty five linseed genotypes were subjected to study the interrelationship among the traits at the Experimental Farm of the Department of Crop Improvement, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, during rabi 2015-2016. The genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficient obtained between different traits was similar in direction, while in magnitude, genotypic correlation was higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlations for most of the traits.

The present study was carried out in a continuing experiment at the Bhadiarkhar farm of the CSK HPKV. Eight cropping sequences [C1- ‘rice – wheat’, C2- ‘rice – pea – summer squash’, C3- ‘okra – radish – onion’, C4- ‘turmeric – pea – summer squash’, C5- ‘rice – lettuce – potato’, C6- ‘rice – palak – cucumber’, C7- ‘rice – broccoli – radish’, C8- ‘colocasia – pea + coriander’] were evaluated during 2016-17. There were 24 weed species which invaded different cropping systems. During kharif, Ageratum sp. (28%), Cynodon dactylon (20%) and Commelina benghalensis (19%) were the predominant weeds.

A substantial parameter that links plants to the soil is microbial biomass. Measurement of the biologically-active fractions of the soil organic matter, is a good way to quantify the quality of the soil. In the study, the impact of canopy and seasonal dynamics on different forest soil microbial community composition in Mid Hills of Himachal Pradesh were investigated in the forest floor under a stand of five forest ecosystems. Soil samples were collected from the organic layer and topsoil.

Incidence of the bean bug Chauliops fallax Sweet and Schaeffer (Hemiptera: Malcidae) was recorded on soybean and pulses grown during Kharif at five different locations under low and mid hills of Himachal Pradesh during 2016. Its incidence varied from 0.20 to 28.8 bugs per 10 plants on soybean and pulses at different locations.

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2013 and Kharif 2014 on sandy loam soil to study the effect of vegetative barriers and improved forage species on growth and productivity of degraded grasslands under mid hill sub temperate conditions of Himachal Pradesh. Napier bajra hybrid (Pennisetum purpureum L. x P. Americanum L.) as vegetative barrier produced significantly taller plants as compared to setaria grass planted as vegetative barrier.

Twenty pomegranates (Punica granatum L.) germplasms were studied under midhill conditions of Himachal Pradesh at the Experimental farm of Fruit Science, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan during 2013 in ten year old plants. Dewey recorded maximum plant height (3.18 m) and Trunk girth (96.09 mm) whereas maximum plant spread in N-S direction (2.65 m) and plant spread in E-W direction (2.54 m) was recorded in Loulou and Green Globe, respectively. Leaf area was maximum (27.75 cm2 ) in Green Globe. Fruit yield were recorded highest (13.6 kg) in Green Globe.
