These samples were analyzed and classified as per AICRP (1989) classification. In Firozpur Jhirka block, 20.24, 41.67, 3.57, 32.14 and 2.38 per cent waters were found under good, marginally saline, saline. high SAR saline and marginally alkaline categories, respectively. Whereas in Punhana block, 15.71, 32.86, 47.14, 2.86 and 1.43 per cent waters were found in good, marginally saline, high SAR saline, marginally alkali and highly alkali, respectively. The pH, EC, SAR and RSC in ground waters of Firozpur Jhirka block ranged from 7.39 to 9.17 , 0.70 to 13.70 dS m-1, 2.54 to 50.26 and 0 to 3.20 meq L-1, and in Punhana block, ranged from 7.06 to 9.60, 1.00 to15.29 dS m-1, 3.77 to 46.48 and 0 to 4.00 meq L-1, respectively. The sodium was dominant cation followed by magnesium, calcium and potassium in ground waters of both the blocks. Likewise, in case of anions, chloride was the dominant anion followed by sulphate, bicarbonate, carbonate and nitrate. The analysis of soil profile samples revealed that the lowest and highest cation exchange capacity of the soils in Firozpur-Jhirka block was observed in Pol (4.12 cmol (p+) kg-1 )and Nangal (8.07 cmol (p+) kg-1), respectively whereas in Punhana block, lowest was found in Indana (5.32 cmol (p+) kg-1)and highest in Jharokhari ( 8.17 cmol (p+) kg-1 )villages. The lowest and highest exchangeable sodium percentage in Firozpur Jhirka block was observed in Righar (6.00) and Mallahka (18.86) villages and in Punhana block ,it was found in Indana (5.06) and Hinganpur(32.75) villages, respectively. The lowest and highest soil organic content in Firozpur-Jhirka block was observed in Mallahka (0.09 %) and Mahun (0.36 % ) villages whereas, in Punhana block was found in Rahpwa (0.11%) and Laharwari (0.27%) villages , respectively. The saturation percentage of soils was lowest and highest in Pol (20.93) and Naharika (29.62) ; and in Maryka (21.15) and Bikti (27.25 ) villages of Firozpur Jhirka and Punhana blocks, respectively. The lowest ECe in Firozpur-Jhirka block was recorded in Righar (0.76 dS m-1) and highest in Gangwani (10.05 dS m-1). Likewise, in Punhana block, it was found lowest in Indana (1.26 dS m-1) and highest in Hazipur (7.96 dS m-1) villages. Highest electrical conductivity was observed in surface layers of the soil profile which gradually decreased with depth. The lowest and highest of pH of soil saturation extract in Firozpur-Jhirka block was found in Nangal (7.25) and Mahoon (8.95) villages and in Punhana block, it was found in Indana (7.38) and Maryka (8.64) villages, respectively. The mean cationic composition of soil extract in soil profile in Firozpur-Jhirka and Punhana blocks was of the order Na+>Ca2+>Mg2+.>K+ likewise, in most of the samples the mean anionic composition of soil extract was of order Cl- >SO42->HCO3->CO32- .The ground water quality map of two blocks showed that maximum area falling under poor quality water with high area under salinity hazard as compared to sodicity hazard in both blocks of Mewat district.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Organic and Liquid Manures on Growth and Yield of Urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.)

A total of 20 genotypes were taken for screening against M. vitrata (Geyer) on pigeonpea and its management. Total pod damage by M. vitrata ranged from 32.7 to 68.45 per cent. The genotypes AH10-17, UPAS-120, AL 201, AH 12-06 were found to be least susceptible (PSR-4) against M. vitrata . Maximum larval population and number of webs of M. vitrata were recorded in 41 st standardweek . Morphological characters i.e. Days to 50 per cent flowering, number of grains, pod wall thickness and days to maturity have no influence on M.vitrata susceptibility, however, pod length was found positively correlated and trichome density (type A and type C) negatively correlated with M. vitrata infestation . The biochemical characteristics of infested and healthy leaves and pods of different pigeonpea genotypes i.e. total sugars and proteins had positive effect on M. vitrata infestation, while phenols contributed negative effect. The efficacy of different management practices revealed that rynaxypyr18.5 SC, emamectin benzoate 5 SG and spinosad45 SC were found to be most effective against larval population and webs of M .vitrata where as intercropping with sorghum and Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki were found to be least effective and maximum incremental benefit cost ratio was recorded on emamectin benzoate 5 SG (12.53) while, minimum on B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki(1.22).ThesisItem Open Access Nectar secretion rhythms and foraging behaviour of honey bees in early sown rapeseed-mustard genotypes(CCSHAU, 2019) Poonam; Yadav, S.S.The present study was carried out on six early sown genotypes of rapeseed-mustard at Research Area of Oilseeds Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2018. A total of 17 insect species visited flowers of early sown genotypes viz., 9 Hymenopterans, 3 Dipterans, 4 Lepidopterans, and 1 Coleopteran. The abundance (bees/m2/5 min) of A. florea was highest (8.5) followed by A. mellifera (3.9), A. dorsata (3.6) and A. cerana (3.1). Abundance of bee species was maximum (5.6 bees/m2/5 min) in genotypes TH 68 and SANGAM. A. cerana foraged maximum number of flowers per minute (18.20) followed by A. dorsata (17.57), A. mellifera (17.32) and A. florea (6.45). Foraging rate (flowers/min) of all bee species was maximum (14.98 and 14.90) in genotypes TH 68 and SANGAM. Time spent per flower (sec) was maximum (5.3) by A. florea followed by A. dorsata (1.7), A. mellifera (1.6) and A. cerana indica (1.3). The maximum time spent per flower by all bee species (2.6) was in genotype PDZ 9. Nectar or pollen gatherers were maximum in A. dorsata (37.8% and 25.6%, respectively), while both nectar and pollen gatherers were maximum in A. cerana (45.3%). Nectar foraging, pollen foraging and both nectar and pollen foraging was maximum at peak flowering (36.0%), peak flowering (23.8%) and flowering cessation (42.9%), respectively. Out of the total foragers, top workers were maximum in A. dorsata (97.8%), while side workers were maximum in A. florea (41.0%). Based on flowering phenology, TH 68 genotype was the earliest (33.7 and 85.3 DAS) while RH 725 was the latest (39.7 and 91.7 DAS) to initiate and cease flowering.

Results revealed that pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition period ranged from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 1 to 2 days, respectively. A single female laid maximum of 65 eggs and minimum of 45 eggs (average 56.3 eggs) during her life time. and eggs were whitish and oval in shape. On lentil, the longevity of male moths ranged from 3 to 5 days (average 4.1 days) and longevity of female moths varied from 5 to 6 days (average 5.6 days). Average incubation period was observed to be from 5.18 to 5.38 days (average5.24 days). The total larval period ranged from 15 to 19 days (average 16.9 days). Average Pre-pupal period ranged from 1.9 to 2.3 days (average 2.04 days) and pupal period ranged from 12.7 to 13.9 days (average13.38 days). Average female to male sex ratio was 1.0 to 1.4 and males outnumbered the females.. Mating period of E. zinckenella varied from 43 to 63 minutes (average 51.5 minutes). Results revealed that the total life cycle varied from 37 to 45 days (average 40.9 days). Morphometric studies on Etiella zinckenella revealed that the eggs measured 0.47 to 0.57 mm in length (average 0.51 mm) and 0.30 to 0.40 mm in width (average 0.35mm). Average length of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae was observed to be 0.89, 2.83, 6.22, 11.29 and 15.33 mm, respectively and average width of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae were 0.15, 0.78, 1.49, 2.21and 2.89 mm, respectively. Average head capsule width of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th instar larvae were 0.10, 0.50, 0.82, 0.94 and 1.20 mm, respectively. On an average, male pupa measured 8.80 mm in length and measured 2.67 mm in width and female pupa measured 8.74 mm in length and measured 2.61 mm in width. Average length & width of the male and female moth was 12.20 mm and 22.09 mm and 11.34 mm and 21.13 mm, respectively. Out of the 20 genotypes screened against Etiella zinckenella at green pod stage, the infestation ranged from 2.0 to 4.0 per cent, whereas at maturity it varied from 4.0 to 24.0 per cent in different genotypes. Genotypes LL 1136, IPL 315, ,RKL 608-1, FLIPILL 6089, RKL 1-32, RKL 1003- 33D, L 4096 were charactersied as least susceptible. Morphological characters of the genotypes i.e. 50 per cent flowering , number of grains/ pod, pod wall thickness, pod length and days to maturity were evaluated and correlated with per cent pod damage at green and mature pod stage. There was positive and significant correlation between pod length and pod damage at both green & mature pod stage. Population dynamics studies revealed significant negative correlation of aphid population with the Temperature (Tmax. & Tmin.), significant positive correlation of E. zinckenella with the Temperature (Tmax. & Tmin.) and non significant correlation of H. armigera population with the abiotic factors.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on biology, varietal screening and management of pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) on mung bean(CCSHAU, 2019) Sonu Kumari; Yadav, S.S.A laboratory experiment was conducted on “Studies on biology, varietal screening and management of pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) on mung bean” at Storage Laboratory in Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, CCS HAU, Hisar during 2018-19. The biology of pulse beetle, C. chinensis was studied on mung bean variety MH 421. The study on the biology of pulse beetle, C. chinensis showed that total developmental period (egg to adult) was 32.73 ± 2.96 days. The eggs of C. chinensis were oval and planoconvex in appearance. Freshly laid eggs are smooth, translucent and white in colour. Average female and male ratio was recorded as 0.83:1.21 indicating little dominance of male over female population. Out of the ten varieties of mung bean screened for their ovipositional preference, population growth, grain loss and weight loss by the pulse beetle, C. chinensis. Pusa Ratna was the least preferred variety by pulse beetle, C. chinensis (L.) while SML 668 was most preferred variety. The population growth of C. chinensis was found highest in variety SML 668 (414.50 adults) whereas lowest was found in Pusa Ratna (251.83 adults). Pusa Ratna and Basanti had lowest grain damage (34.82 % and 36.57 %, respectively) with minimum loss in weight (15.31 % and 17.27%, respectively). SML 668 and Pusa Vishal had highest grain damage (49.04 % and 46.93%, respectively) with maximum loss in weight (30.52 % and 27.09 %, respectively).The management practices comprising seed protectants were evaluated against pulse beetle, C. chinensis. The treatment evaluated were neem oil, neem leaf powder, mustard oil, groundnut oil, turmeric powder, custard apple seed powder, mentha oil, lemongrass oil and control at the different dose per kg seed. Both neem leaf powder and neem oil were found most effective protectants resulted in highest adult moratilty (92.22 per cent and 90.55 per cent, respectively), lowest damage of grain and weight loss being 0.88 and 0.97 per cent and 0.68 and 0.73 per cent, respectively in both the treatments, followed by mentha oil (2.5ml/kg) and lemongrass oil (2.5 ml/kg). The seed germination per cent was observed to be highest in the treatment of neem leaf powder and neem oil. No adverse effect of seed protectants was observed on mung bean seed.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on efficacy and residue of Chlorantraniliprole against Helicoverpa armigera(Hubner) in tomato(CCSHAU, 2019) Soniya; Yadav, S.S.Field studies on efficacy and residue of chlorantraniliprole against Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in tomato were conducted at Research Farm, Department of Entomology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Rabi 2018-19. Results showed that larval population of H. armigera remained active in field from 9th to 21st SMW and reached to maximum (5.05 larvae/ plant) during 17th SMW. Aphid incidence was started from 9th SMW (first week of March) and reached a peak population (23.26 aphids /3 leaves) during 4th week of March (12th SMW). Whitefly and leaf miner population attained a peak population during 3rd week of April (16th SMW) and 2nd week of April (15th SMW), respectively. Correlation studies larval population exhibits a significant positive correlation with maximum (r= 0.741) and minimum temperature (r= 0.667) whereas highly significant negative correlation with morning and evening relative humidity (r = -0.798, -688), respectively. Aphid population showed a highly significant negative correlation with maximum temperature, minimum temperature and wind velocity (r= -0.874, -0.924 and r= -0.735), respectively but it was highly significantly positively correlated with morning relative humidity (r=0.796) and evening relative humidity (r=0.736). While, whitefly and leaf miner showed a significant negative correlation with morning and evening relative humidity but significant positive correlation with temperature. Results on efficacy revealed that chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC was most effective with minimum number of mean larval population which was significantly differed from all other treatment than ascending order of insecticide having larval population was indoxacarb 14.5 SC>flubendiamide 20 WG>novaluron 10 EC> lambda cyahalothrin 2.5 EC and quinalphos 25 EC. Per cent Fruit infestation data revealed that lowest fruit infestation on number basis was recorded in chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC 11.50 per cent fruit infestation which was significantly differ from all other treatments, followed by flubendiamide 20 WG and indoxacarb 14.5 SC which recorded 14.20 and 14.75 per cent infestation, respectively. Dissipation of chlorantraniliprole in tomato fruits followed first order kinetics with half-life period of 1.57 and 1.98 days at single (30 g.a.i./ ha) and double doses (60 g.a.i./ ha) respectively. Chlorantraniliprole applied at 50% fruiting stage, residues reached to LOQ (Limit of Quantification) of 0.01 after 10th and 20th day at single (T1) and double doses (T2) respectively with no residue in soil collected at time of harvest in both doses. MAJORThesisItem Open Access Studies on varietal screening, biology and management of rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on stored wheat(CCSHAU, 2018) Rohit Kumar; Yadav, S.S.The studies on rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) with reference to biology on wheat variety WH1105, screening of 15 different varieties of wheat and management through seed protectants were carried out at Storage Entomology Laboratory, Department of Entomology, CCS HAU, Hisar during 2017. Studies on biology of S. oryzae revealed that the eggs of this species were spherical with one end pointed and another rounded, translucent and white in colour and laid singly. The average incubation period of eggs was 5.14 days. There were four larval instars and grubs were apodous, stout, short and yellowish-white in colour with brown-coloured head and pupa was soft, exarate and white to yellowish-white in colour. The average larval and pupal period varied from 28.20 to 32.20 days and an average of 29.72 days under laboratory conditions. Adult male and female lived for 32.28 and 38.46 days, respectively. The average total life cycle of S. oryzae was observed as 34.88 days. The average fecundity was recorded as 189.90 eggs per female. The oviposition period was observed as 24.80 days. Average male and female ratio was recorded as 1:1.19 indicating little dominance of female over male population. Studies on varietal screening revealed that none of the wheat variety found free from infestation of S. oryzae. However, varieties WH283, WH711, DBW17, WH1080, and WH157 were found moderately preferred. Varieties WH-2967, WH542, WH1025 and were found less preferred. Varieties WH1105, WH1124, WH1142, and C306 were least preferred and WH147 was found to be most preferred as the number of eggs, number of adults emerged, grain damage and weight loss was maximum followed by DPW62150 and PBW343. Studies on efficacy of seed protectants revealed that all the seed protectants resulted in significant difference in their effectiveness against S. oryzae. However, neem seed kernel powder, neem oil and custard apple seed powder were found very effective in controlling rice weevils followed by mustard oil, groundnut oil, mustard oil + turmeric powder and groundnut oil + turmeric powder whereas saw dust was found least effective as seed protectant followed by turmeric powder. No adverse effect of these seed protectants was observed on the germination of wheat seed at different intervals whereas the germination was observed to be maximum in the treatment of neem seed kernel powder and neem oil.
