ThesisItem Open Access Integrated nutrient management in pearl millet-mustard cropping sequence in South-West Haryana(CCSHAU, 2005) Satyajeet; Nanwal, R.K.A field experiment entitled, “Integrated nutrient management in pearl millet-mustard cropping sequence in South-West Haryana” was conducted during the year 2003-04 and 2004-05 at Research Farm of Regional Research Station, Bawal, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four pearl millet verities viz. HHB-117, HHB-94, HC-10 and HC-20 in main-plot and eight fertility levels viz. control, 75% RD (recommended dose), 100% RD, Vermicompost @ 5 tonnes ha-1, 75% RD + vermicompost, 100% RD + vermicompost, 75% RD+ vermicompost + biofertilizer and 100% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer in sub-plots having three replications. Different treatments were tried -99- -99- during kharif season while in rabi season only residual effect on succeeding mustard (variety, RH-30) crop was seen. Hybrids HHB-117 recorded highest growth, yield attributes and yield over rest of the varieties. Among fertility levels, 100% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer exhibited highest growth characters, yield contributing characters, grain and stover yields. The pooled grain yield was recorded highest with 100% RD in conjunction with vemicompost and biofertilizer (19.54q ha-1). Application of 100% RD and 75% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer also gave comparable yields. In pearl millet crop NPK concentration in grain and stover, uptake and total uptake was higher in integrated nutrient management treatments as compared to inorganic fertilizers. In mustard crop, different varieties of pearl millet failed to record significant residual effect among themselves in terms of yield attributes and yields of mustard. Application of inorganic nutrients integrated with organic fertilizers to pearl millet crop left behind sufficient residual effect, which tended significant increase in yield attributes and yields of mustard across the years as well as in the pooled data of two years. The EC, pH, organic carbon, available NPK and micronutrients in soil were improved after the crop sequence in the treatments where inorganic fertilizers were blended with organic sources in pearl millet crop. Mean maximum net return (Rs. 20756 ha-1) and mean B:C ratio (1.64) were obtained with 100% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer closely followed by 100% RD + vermicompost.ThesisItem Open Access Compactability Behaviour Of Soils Under Different Cropping Sequences(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University; Hisar, 2005) Dinesh Kumar; Phogat, V.

L.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Epidemiology and Management of root-rot of clusterbean(CCSHAU, 2005) Shekhar Kumar; Sher SinghRoot-rot complex in clusterbean caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola, Fusarium solani and Sclerotium rolfsii is a major disease of clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub] in Haryana. The inoculum age of 7 days old culture, inoculum density of 50g/kg soil, soil temperature of 30oC, soil moisture of 30 per cent water holding capacity (WHC) and soil pH of 6.0 were found to be optimum for disease development in three varieties, viz. FS-277, Pusa Nav Bahar (PNB) and HG-75. Garlic extract at 20 per cent concentration was found most effective against root-rot complex which showed maximum inhibition of the pathogen, i.e., 90.25 per cent under laboratory conditions. Under screenhouse conditions garlic extract at 20 per cent concentration in HG-75 was found most effective against the pathogens which exhibited minimum seedling mortality (4.75%). Trichoderma harzianum was found an effective antagonist against root-rot complex which showed maximum inhibition of the pathogen, i.e., 73.77 per cent under laboratory conditions. Under screenhouse conditions Trichoderma harzianum in HG-75 was found most effective against the pathogens which exhibited minimum seedling mortality (5.50%). Among organic amendments mustard residue and vermicompost when applied in combination @ 5g/kg soil resulted in maximum disease control, i.e., 11.75 per cent seedling mortality in HG-75.ThesisItem Open Access Development And Standardization Of Modular Multimedia Package For Social Empowerment Of Women(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University; Hisar, 2005) Bishnoi, Anupama; Sethi, NishiThesisItem Open Access Genetic variability among the accessions of Sesbania species for morphological and biochemical markers(CCSHAU, 2005) Poonam Rani; SubhadraField experiment and isozymic analysis on 40 accessions of Sesbania were carried out with the objectives: (i) to estimate variability among accessions of Sesbania using various isozymes and morphological markers and (ii) to establish relationship among accessions using these parameters. The accessions were grown in randomized block design with three replications. The observations were recorded on 15 variables viz., plant height (at 20 and 60 days after sowing, and at maturity), green biomass, dry weight, number of root nodules, fresh weight of root nodules, leaf length, leaves per plant, leaflets per leaf, number of pods per plant , pod length, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight and seed yield per plant. Significant genotypic differences were observed for all the 15 morphological characters. Accession EC 493668 (T21) from Australia was identified for its direct exploitation as a cultivar. Seed yield showed positive correlation with number of pods, number of seeds per pod, pod length, leaf length and plant height at maturity. Weight of root nodules, number of pods and pod length showed high positive direct and indirect effects contribution towards their correlation with seed yield. Seed yield and its components showed medium to high heritability and genetic advance. UPGMA method with Euclidean distances based on agromorphological traits grouped accessions into seven clusters. Accessions T3 from cluster 1 and T24 from cluster 7 were recommended for hybridization programme for improvement of grain yield. Cluster 7 showed high inter cluster distance from clusters namely cluster 2, 3 and 4. The accessions were fingerprinted for 6 isozyme systems (acid phosphatase, amylase, catalase, glutamate dehydrogenase, peroxidase and malate dehydrogenase) and grouped the accessions into 11 clusters. Malate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase exhibited maximum unique isozymic patterns i.e. 38 and 31, respectively followed by acid phosphatase, amylase, peroxidase and catalase. None of the enzyme system could alone distinguish all the accessions individually, however, a combination of any of the two enzyme systems may be used to distinguish all 40 accessions uniquely. Majority of accessions of S. rostrata were grouped together in one cluster in both agromorphological and isozymic data analysis. Both analyses indicated that geographical diversity is important but not the sole factor determining the genetic diversity.
