    Nitrogen scheduling in different cultivars of basmati rice under direct seeding conditions
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Mohinder Singh; Yadav, Dharam Bir
    The investigation entitled “Nitrogen scheduling in different cultivars of basmati rice under direct seeding conditions” was carried out at Regional Research Station, Karnal of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif season of 2014 and 2015. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatments included four basmati rice cultivars viz. PB-1121, PB-1509, PB-1 and HB-2 as main plots. Sub plot treatments included N at 90, 100 and 110 kg ha-1 with 3 splits (0, 15 and 50 DAS) or 4 splits (0, 20, 40 and 60 DAS) of application with 11.5 kg N ha-1 as basal dose and remaining in equal splits. Cultivar HB-2 recorded highest growth parameters, yield and yield attributes which was statistically at par with PB-1121 but superior than PB-1 and PB- 1509. The plant height, dry weight accumulation, CGR, LAI, LAD, number of effective tillers, grains/panicle and grain yield of all the basmati rice cultivars increased with increase in N levels and number of splits. The grain yield at 110 kg N ha-1 with 4 splits (49.8 q ha-1) increased by 18 % over 90 kg N ha-1 with 3 splits (42.2 q ha-1). The maximum total N uptake (82.4-82.6 kg ha-1), P (26.3-27.8 kg ha-1) and K (120.5-125.2 kg ha-1) was recorded with 110 kg N ha-1 in 4 splits. Maximum net returns (Rs.18547-Rs.19948) and B-C ratio (1.23-1.25) was recorded with 110 kg N ha-1 with 4 splits. Application of 110 kg N ha-1 in 4 splits at 0, 20, 40 and 60 DAS was found to be the best N schedule for these basmati cultivars.

    Survey for quality wheat in three major cropping system zones of Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Mohinder Singh; Dahiya, S.S.
    Survey for quality wheat in three major cropping system zones in Haryana” comprising 972 farmers in three cropping systems viz. bajra-wheat, cotton-wheat and rice-wheat at 54 locations (villages) of Haryana was conducted to assess the knowledge, practices and attitude of farmers towards quality wheat production. The results of study indicated that 25 percent of farmers were educated upto primary and 74% had joint families. Most of the farmers (72.1 percent) accomplished timely wheat sowing and only 21.7 percent were aware about recommendation of fertilizers and 39.2 percent farmers reported that there was no change in wheat yield. The cropping system, time of sowing, irrigation, nitrogen and seed rate influenced the grain yield. The luster of grains was significantly affected by cropping systems. Protein content wheat grains produced from bajra-wheat cropping system was significantly higher than cotton-wheat and rice-wheat. Protein content was found to be influenced significantly by cropping system, time of sowing, nitrogen doses and seed rate. Rice-wheat and cotton-wheat cropping systems were high yielding zones and bajra-wheat cropping system produced better quality of wheat grains than rice-wheat and cotton-wheat cropping systems.
