Highlights
Agriculture – Dr. YS Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University of Himachal Pradesh has started research on scab resistance of Himachali apples. Due to which Himachal Pradesh Dr. YS Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University has succeeded in preparing scab resistant sub-variety.
For apple, Julius Kuhn Institute (JKI) of Germany has succeeded in finding a major variety of scab resistance in Himachali apples.
This new scab resistant variety of apples is also mainly resistant to fungal diseases.
Along with this, Dr. YS Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University of Himachal Pradesh has also started its research on scab resistance of apples.
Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry has successfully succeeded in preparing a scab resistant sub-variety.
This new scab resistant sub-variety of apples will prove to be a milestone for all the horticulture and forestry farmers and gardeners of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand.

Dr. YS Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University of Himachal Pradesh, in collaboration with the Julius Kuhn Institute (JKI) of Germany, should conduct a new research in this regard by researchers so that in future only apple varieties with complete scab resistance can be imported. Needed
We have developed some new sub-varieties for their resistance to fungal diseases. Dr. YS Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University is currently doing research on these varieties.
