2) Propagation of walnut through chip budding: Chip budding during last week of May to mid of June was recommended for the propagation of walnut as it resulted in highest (92%) bud take success.
3) Production of nursery plant of apple in a year: For the production of apple nursery in one year under protective conditions, seeds are put in alternate
layers of moist sand for stratification (60-70 days at 3-5 0C) in Mid-December. The stratified seeds are sown in well prepared nursery beds in polyhouse during Mid-February. The seedling rootstocks attain bud able size
in July and budded with chip method. Chip budding done in first to second week of July gave 94 to 99 per cent bud take success, with good growth of
budded plants and 90-94 per cent plants become saleable in a year.

4) Microbial Consortium for hardening of air-layered litchi saplings: Dipping of air-layered (guttee) litchi saplings before transplanting in the mixture of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi+ Azotobacter chroococcum + Metarrhizium (2:1:1) for 10-15 minutes for hardening in nursery beds in September-October. This technique can be used for better rooting and
establishment of the layered guttee in soil.
5) PGPR consortium for strawberry runner production: Root inoculation
(dipping) of saplings for 10-15 minutes with PGPRs consortium (1:4) in water at the time of transplanting in nursery beds increased fruit yield and runner production.
6) Specialty foliar fertilization in apple: Foliar spray of water soluble NPK fertilizers in full bearing apple trees at fifteen days interval. Spray the trees
with water soluble NPK fertilizers (19:19:19, 13:0:45, 0:0:50) at 0.25 per cent concentration (500 g in 200 litre of water) at growth stages namely, (i) vegetative (half inch green leaf stage), (ii) flowering (pink bud) (iii) fruit set to
fruit development along with 62.5% of RDF of traditional soil fertilization. Using of speciality foliar fertilization has saved 37.5% of traditional soil NPK fertilizers with improved fruit yield and quality.
7) Use of CPPU for the enhancement of fruit: Size and quality of kiwifruit Manual fruit thinning by retaining 6 fruits/ shoot along with dipping in CPPU @5 ppm two weeks after petal fall is effective in enhancement of kiwifruit yield, size and proportion of ‘A’ grade fruits.
8) Technology for Year Round Production of Tomato in the Polyhouses:
Low cost Plastic Greenhouse with natural Ventilation 3-4 times more productivity than open cultivation
Superior quality of the produce Growing media Soil: FYM/Compost: Sand (1:2:1)
Naveen 2000+ and Amisha (Large Fruited) BSS-366 (Cherry type) Training: 2-4 stems
Two crops in a year
36
9) Seed coating and pelleting in vegetable and spice crops: Seed Coating and Pelleting machine is installed in the department of Seed Science and Technology which is used to perform coating and pelleting in seeds of
vegetable and spice crops with pesticides, polymers, bio-agents, nutrients etc. which results in increased seed storage, germination, health and vigour
10) Plug technology for propagation in Carnation: Round the year carnation
cuttings in plugs can be prepared under Solan- Nauni conditions. About 8-
10 cm long herbaceous stem cuttings treated with NAA 500 ppm and planted in a medium consisting of cocopeat or cocopeat + sand The cuttings in plug trays are placed for rooting under trenches. The plugs have better
adaptability as compared to conventional technology.
11) Dehydration and value-addition of flowers:
Drying of flowers and making value added products like flower arrangements, flower sticks, rakhi, mirrors, bouquet, wall pictures, wall
decoration, pine cone birds etc from a large no of ornamental flowers, native flowers, agricultural crops and wastes has been standardized.
Drying Technology: Ornithogallum, Gomphrena, Lagurus, Brija, Bromus,
Maize spathe, Pennistum, Sorghum, Pine cones and Anaphalis. Dyeing Technology: Lagurus, Brija, Bromus, Maize spathe, Pennistum,
Sorghum and Anaphalis.
12) Lettuce production under Nutrient Film Technique in hydroponics:
The Nutrient Solution can be prepared with commonly available fertilisers viz. 19:19:19 (587gm), urea (1400gm) and MOP (1200gm) for 500 sq.m. area for 3 crops of lettuce (mid-Nov to mid-Mar). The fertilizers,
37
accordingly are to be mixed in the mixing tank. The nutrient solution under hydroponics should be circulated daily for about one hour a day. Spray of 5% Jeevamrut (5ml/100ml) is to be done fortnightly. pH of the
solution should be maintained 5.5-6.5 and EC of the solution 1.5-2.0 dS∙m-1. If pH is less than 5.5 NaOH 25ml/500L should be added if pH is more than 6.5 concentrated Nitric acid 5ml/500L should be added. If EC
of the solution is less than 1.5-2.0 dS∙m-1 nutrient solution to be added and if it is more than 1.5-2.0 dS∙m-1 water to be added to the solution.
Note: To run nutrient solution use square or circular PVC channel/ pipes. Keep these channels/pipes with 2 % slope so that nutrient solution can run properly into the channel/pipes.
13) Meadow orcharding in guava: Production Technology of guava cultivar Lalit under meadow orcharding has been developed by managing the plant
canopy. Traditional system of guava cultivation often poses problem in attaining desired levels of productivity. To improve the existing production system besides increasing productivity, meadow orcharding technique is
essential to facilitate enhancement of productivity of quality fruits. In this the field planting is done at a spacing of 2.0 x 2.0 m accommodating 1000 plants per acre and the framework of the plant is maintained through
periodic training and pruning. Toping of the trees is carried out after 2 months of planting at a height of 30 cm from ground level. The number of
shoots starts appearing below the cut ends but only 3-4 shoots are retained. These shoots are pruned after 3-4 months of their emergence up to 50% of their total length. Again multiple shoots emerge below the cut ends and these
are further pruned after 3-4 months by retaining 50% of their length. The trees are maintained the same way year after year.
14) Raising of cucurbits seedlings in polytubes for off-season production:
Techniques for raising cucurbit crops viz. cucumber, bottle gourd, bitter
gourd and summer squash using polytubes were standardized for taking an early crop during off-season. The agro climatic conditions of low hills and
valley areas are such that the temperature starts rising from February onward, thus making conditions conducive for cultivation of various vegetables in early summer. A mixture comprising soil, sand and FYM or
compost (2:1:1) is prepared and the cucurbits seeds are sown in the poly tubes during the month of January. These are kept under protection in poly tunnels and saplings ready for transplanting in the month of February. After
demonstrations hundreds of farmers now grow their own seeds in poly tubes for further planting during early season. The farmers get an early produce of
the above crops in the month of April–June and benefited by selling the produce during off-season.
15) Katha and Cutch: Technology for extraction of Katha and Cutch has been standardized and maximum Katha and Cutch contents have been recorded
38
in the progeny of Nurpur provenance of Khair. The technology developed has been transfer to the farmers and end users.
16) Successful domestication of Swertia chirayita: A high value endangered
temperate medicinal plant which finds use in traditional therapies. The
species is valued for its bitter principles as hepatic stimulant, blood purifier, tonic etc. and its cultivation technology has been developed and given to the
farmers.
