<div>The present study was conducted at the different market yards of Shimla and Kinnaur District to find the arrival of apples in the different markets. The study will give us an understanding of the changing trends in different markets. For conducting the research data from six years (2014-19) for Apple arrival were collected from the different market_yards (Shimla, Chopal, Theog, Kharapathar, Rampur, Rohru, Parala, Narkanda, Nerwaand been analyzed with the help of descriptive_and regression analysis which_had revealed that the Apple arrival in Shimla_market yard is showing low growth trend in comparison to the other market Yards (Parala, Rohru, Kharapathar) which are showing high growth trend. The relative value of the Kharapathar market is the highest, therefore, one can predict that by 2023-24 Apple&rsquo;s arrival in the market will reach 631061 boxes_which is very high from the current average of 88571_boxes hence will make it the fastest-growing market yard for Apple selling with the growth rate of 612.49 per cent.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The study was conducted to survey and collect various French bean genotypes from the main hot spot regions of Himachal Pradesh like Shimla, Chamba, Sirmour, Kullu, Kinnaur and some areas of Mandi and Solan district. Different bean genotypes were collected in a 15-day exploration trip from various geographical regions. The collected seed samples were evaluated and characterized for intra-specific seed morpho-metric characteristics like seed coat colour, hilum colour, seed shape, hypocotyls pigmentation, cotyledon colour pubescence on hypocotyls, 100 seed weight (g), seed length (mm) and seed width (mm). The evaluated genetic material was then deposited in the short term seed bank of Department of Seed Science and Technology UHF Nauni for future correspondence. The genetic diversity found among the landraces is of great importance in the utilization of the species for food and nutrition and more importantly for genetic improvement. The study would prove a basic primary step in germplasm recognisition activity for future breeding programmes and will project the local available genetic footprints to entire agro associated enterprises for necessary consideration.</div>
