ThesisItem Open Access A Study of Opinion Leadership Pattern Among Farmers in Haryana(College of Basic Sciences and Humanities Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 2003) Bala, Neeru; Dahiya, SushilaThesisItem Open Access Agro physiological traits for drought tolerance in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)(CCSHAU, 2013) Yadav, Arvind Kumar; Anil KumarThe present experiment entitled, “Agro physiological traits for drought tolerance in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)” was conducted at Research Farm Area of Crop Physiology, Department of Agronomy, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif seasons of 2011 and 2012. The performance of four genotypes viz., HHB 67 ‘Improved’, HHB 197, HHB 223 and HHB 234 were tested under two environments (rainfed and irrigated) in factorial randomized block design with three replications. All the phenological events except days taken to emergence and five leaf stages were early under rainfed condition than irrigated situation. Among the genotypes, HHB 67 ‘Improved’ was earliest to reach various phenophases than all other genotypes. The growth parameters i.e., plant height (cm), total number of tillers plant-1, dry matter accumulation (g plant-1), leaf area and crop growth indices (LAI, LAD, NAR and CGR) were significantly higher in the irrigated condition than rainfed environment. All the growth parameters (plant height, total number of tillers plant-1, dry matter accumulation plant-1 and leaf area) were significantly higher in genotype HHB 223 under irrigated condition, whereas under rainfed environment these values were better in the genotype HHB 234. Root length was observed deeper under rainfed environment, whereas root biomass was more under irrigated condition. The longer root and higher biomass were noticed in the genotype HHB 234 under rain fed environment whereas under irrigated condition these were more in the HHB 223 and HHB 197. Plant water relation studies showed more values of leaf water potential and relative water content (%), thereby resulting in cooler canopy under irrigated condition than rainfed situation and genotype HHB 234 had reflected more values of these traits and proved to be best yielder under the rainfed environment. Under irrigated condition, genotype HHB 223 had exhibited better plant water status and it was ultimately reflected in terms of yield also. Grain yield and its attributes (earhead bearing tillers, earhead length, earhead girth and test weight) were significantly better under irrigated condition than rain fed situation. The genotype HHB 223 recorded higher number of tillers, earhead length, earhead girth, test weight and grain chaff ratio, grain, stover and biological yields under irrigated condition whereas under rainfed condition, these were higher in genotype HHB 234 as compared to other genotypes. Zinc and iron content were significantly more under rainfed situation than the irrigated condition and genotype HHB 67 ‘Improved’ had the maximum zinc and iron content in the grain to other tested genotypes.ThesisItem Open Access Agro-physiological evaluation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under soil moisture stress(CCSHAU, 2019) Reeta; Parveen KumarThe present study entitled “Agro-physiological evaluation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under moisture soil stress. ” was conducted at Drought plot area, physiology lab, Agronomy Research Area, CCSHAU,HISAR during rabi 2017-18 with the objective to study the effect of soil moisture conditions on growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient uptake, physiological parameters and economics of various chickpea genotypes. In the two main plots three replications of six genotypes were sown. In one plot two irrigations was applied one at pre-flowering stage and other at pod development stage. The environments and chickpea genotypes show significantdifference in respect of various phenological events (except emergence) viz. 50 per cent flowering, 50% pod development and physiological maturity. More number of days was taken in irrigated environment to attain various phenological stages as compared to rainfed environment. The growth parameters viz. plant height, dry matter accumulation and leafarea per plant, yield attributing characters [no. of branches, no. of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, seed yield (kg ha-1), straw yield (kg ha-1) and biological yield differed significantly among differenttreatments. H 13-36 genotype was significantly superior in terms of growth and yield and its attributes in comparison to other genotypes. The number of nodules and dry weight of nodules was significantly higher in case of irrigated environment and physiological parameters viz. canopy temperature, chlorophyll content, leaf water potential and relative water content different significantly in both the environments. In irrigated environment higher gross return (₹97958), net returns (₹45970) and B:C (1.88) as compared to rainfed environment. Soil moisture content show continuous decrease in rainfed environment. Consumptive use of water and water use efficiency were higher in case of irrigated environment.ThesisItem Open Access Agro-physiologlcal responses of wheat genotypes to different environments under late sown condition(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 2001) Kumar, Praveen; Kumar, AshokThesisItem Open Access Agronomic and Physiological responses of wheat genotypes to desiccant spray under irrigated field condition(Department of Agronomy Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1997) Tyagi, Pawan K.; Singh, D. PThesisItem Open Access Agronomic bio-fortification of pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) through integrated nutrient management(CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-05) Arun; Parvinder KumarThe present investigation entitled “Agronomic bio-fortification of pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) through integrated nutrient management” was carried out at the Research Farm Area, Department of Agronomy, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Kharif 2022 containing 12 treatments i.e. T1: Control, T2: RDF (156.25:62.5:0) kg ha-1 N:P:K through inorganic source, T3: RDF + BIOMIX, T4: 50% RDN through inorganic source + 50% RDN through FYM + BIOMIX, T5: 50% RDN through inorganic source + 50% RDN through Vermicompost + BIOMIX, T6: 75% RDN inorganic source + 25% N through FYM+BIOMIX, T7: 75% RDN inorganic source + 25% N through vermicompost + BIOMIX, T8: RDF + 25 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 (soil application), T9: RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 (foliar spray) at 25 DAS, T10: RDF + 0.5% FeSO4 (foliar spray) at 25 DAS, T11: RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 at 25 DAS, T12: RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 + BIOMIX. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications. The crop was sown on 12 July, 2022 using pearl millet hybrid „HHB 67 improved‟. Among the treatments T12 (application of RDF (156.25 N, 62.5 P2O5 Kg ha-1) + foliar spray of 0.5 % solution of each ZnSO4 and FeSO4 at 25 DAS + BIOMIX) closely followed by treatment T11 (RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 at 25 DAS) was recorded with significantly higher grain yield (3002 kg ha-1), protein content (11.59 %), zinc content (67.47 ppm), iron content (73.48 ppm), net returns (₹ 25,716) and B:C (1.44), which were 7.1, 2.6, 5.7, 2.9, 9.4 and 4.3 per cent higher over RDF (156.25 N, 62.5 P2O5 Kg ha-1) might be due to significantly higher growth parameter viz., plant height (191.67 cm), leaf area index (2.67), number of effective tiller plant-1 (4.05), ear head length (23.37 cm), test weight (10.90 g). So, to get higher yield, economic return and better quality, pearlmillet growers may go for integrated nutrient management using RDF (156.25 N, 62.5 P2O5 Kg ha-1) + foliar spray of 0.5 % solution of each ZnSO4 and FeSO4 at 25 DAS + BIOMIX.ThesisItem Open Access Agronomic evaluation of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under different crop geometry(CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-07) Yadav, Muskan; Pattam KeerthiA field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2022-23 at Research farm, Department of Agronomy, CCS HAU, Hisar, to study effect of different crop geometry and varieties on Indian mustard. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. It consist of four spacings (30 x 15 cm, 30 x 20 cm, 45 x 15 cm and 45 x 20 cm) and four varieties/genotypes (RH 725, RH 749, RH 1424 and RH 1974.The plant height, LAI, dry matter accumulation and dry matter partitioning significantly increased with increase in spacing maximum was recorded with spacing 45 x 20 cm however, CGR decreased with increase in spacing. Among yield attributes viz., number of siliquae per plant, number of secondary and primary branches, test weight, number of seed per siliqua, seed yield per plant and siliqua length got increased with increase in spacing. Seed yield with 45 x 20 cm increased by 15 %, 12 % and 2 % over 30 x 15 cm, 30 x 20 cm and 45 x 15 cm respectively. Among varieties, genotype RH 1974 recorded highest seed yield which was 30 %, 23 % and 10 % higher than RH 749, RH 725 and RH 1424, respectively along with plant height, LAI, CGR, dry matter accumulation and yield attributes.Physiological parameters viz., relative water content, chlorophyll index, canopy temperature and canopy temperature difference were also more favorable with spacing 45 x 20 cm and genotype RH 1974. Oil content and oil yield also increased with increase in spacing, maximum oil content was recorded with spacing 45 x 20 cm and genotype RH1974. Maximum gross, net returns and BC ratio were recorded with spacing 45 x 20 cm (Rs 112483/ha, Rs 53631/ha, 1.91 respectively). Among genotypes/varieties gross income (Rs 120511/ha), net returns (Rs 61455/ha) and BC (2.04) ratio was maximum with genotype RH 1974 because of higher seed yield.ThesisItem Open Access Agronomic management for maximising the productivity of late sown wheat(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University hisar, 2022-07) Malik, Sintu; Pawan KumarA field experiment entitled “Agronomic management for maximising the productivity of late sown wheat” was conducted during Rabi season (2018-19 and 2019-20) at research farm, Department of Agronomy, CCS HAU, Hisar. The experiment consisted of six varieties in main plots i.e. WH 1124, WH 1105, HD 3059, HD 2967, WH 1021 and HD 3086, six seeding treatments in sub plots (T1- recommended seed rate (100 kg ha-1), T2- 25% higher seed rate (dry) than recommended with 18 cm row spacing, T3- 25% higher seed rate (dry) than recommended + reduced row spacing (15cm), T4- 25% higher seed rate (soaked) than recommended + reduced row spacing (15cm), T5- 25% higher seed rate (soaked) than recommended + reduced row spacing (15cm) + 25% higher NPK than recommended, T6- 25% higher seed rate (soaked) than recommended + reduced row spacing (15cm) + 25% higher NPK than recommended + 2.5% urea + 0.5% ZnSO4 spray at anthesis). The 36 treatment combinations were tested in split plot design with three replications. Based on research investigation, it was found that that HD 3086 and WH 1124 were best varieties for late sowing with T6 (25% higher seed rate (soaked) than recommended + reduced row spacing (15cm) + 25% higher NPK than recommended + 2.5% urea + 0.5% ZnSO4 spray at anthesis) seeding treatment being significantly at par with T5 (25% higher seed rate (soaked) than recommended + reduced row spacing (15cm) + 25% higher NPK than recommended). Among the varieties, WH 1124 recorded maximum plant height whereas, other growth parameters, NPK content and uptake were recorded maximum with HD 3086 variety and lowest with WH 1021.The straw yield and biological yield (69.7 and 117.3 q ha-1) was observed highest during 2018-19 compared to 2019-20 where it was recorded maximum with HD 3086 (68.5 and 118.4 q ha-1). Highest net returns were obtained under variety HD 3086 (₹. 50047 and 53293) with B:C of 1.86 and 1.89, respectively, which was statistically at par WH 1124. In case of seeding treatments, T6 recorded highest yield and yield attributes which were found at par with treatment T5.ThesisItem Open Access Agronomic studies on spring maize (Zea mays L.)(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1996) Singh, Devender; Tyagi, R. CThesisItem Open Access Agronomical management of late sown wheat(CCSHAU, 2009) Asha Ram; Pannu, R.K.The field experiment entitled, “Agronomical management of late sown wheat” was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during rabi season of 2007-08. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design. There were ten treatment combinations namely :(T1 )-dry seeding on15th December followed by irrigation, (T2)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed on15th December followed by irrigation, (T3)-dry seeding with 25% higher seed rate on15th December followed by irrigation, (T4)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed with 25% higher seed rate on15th December followed by irrigation, (T5)-dry seeding on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T6)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T7)-dry seeding with 25% higher seed rate on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T8)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed with 25% higher seed rate on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T9)-dry seed sowing on 1st January after pre sowing irrigation on 15th December and (T10)-soaked seed sowing on 1st January after pre sowing irrigation on 15th December. The treatment T4 observed with highest number of seedling emergence and minimum number of seedling was found in T5. The days taken to attainment of heading, anthesis and physiological maturity were recorded significantly higher in 15th December sown treatments as compared to 1st January sown treatments. The dry matter accumulation, LAI, LAD and CGR were recorded significantly higher in T4 than all other treatments. Among the yield attributing characters number of effective tillers/mrl was found highest in T4 followed by T3 and minimum in T5. But, among all the treatments T4 observed with significantly higher grain yield (4196 kg/ha) and biological yield (10359 kg/ha). Significantly lower grain (2885 kg/ha) and biological yield (7426 kg/ha) were observed in T5 as compared to all other treatments except T6 with which it was found statistically at par. The LAI, LAD, CGR, RGR and NAR have shown highly significant and positive correlation among themselves and with grain yield. Among the yield attributes number of effective tiller/mrl had significant association (r = 0.97) with grain yield, biomass yield and straw yield of wheat also had significant positive association (r = 0.99).ThesisItem Open Access Agrononlic and Physiological responses of wheat genotypes to desiccant spray under irrigated field condition(College of Basic Sciences and Humanities Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1997) Tyagi, Pawan K.; Singh, D.
