Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar
Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

ThesisItem Open Access Sensitivity analysis of basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) to weather parameters using WOFOST model(CCSHAU, 2018) Gujjar, Ravi; Dagar, C.S.The experiment entitled “Sensitivity analysis of Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) to weather parameters using WOFOST model” was conducted at the research farm of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Rice Research Station, Kaul (Kaithal), Haryana. The treatments included three dates of transplantingviz.2nd fortnight of June, 1st fortnight of July and 2nd fortnight of July in the main plots and four cultivars namely CSR-30, PB-1121, PB-1 and Haryana Basmati-2 in the subplots, resulting in 12 treatment combinations. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with each treatment replicated four times. The crop was raised with recommended package of practices. Among the different transplanting environments, Early transplanting i.e. 2nd fortnight of June took more number of days to attain physiological maturity as compared to delayed transplanting. Among the varietiesCSR-30 took maximum number of days to attain physiological maturity followed by HB-2, PB-1121 and PB-1. The early transplanted crop took more number of days to attain maturity and accumulated higher growing degree days. Among the varieties the maximum growing degree days (2631 °C days) were accumulated by CSR-30 followed by variety Haryana Basmati-2 (2537 °C days), PB-1121(2517 °C days) and PB-1(2480 °C days) to reach physiological maturity. Similar trend was also observed in case of HTU, PTU accumulation. The crop transplanted during 1st fortnight of July utilized thermal time more efficiently with highest HUE followed by 2nd fortnight of June and 2nd fortnight of July transplanted crop during the growing season. Higher HUE was recorded in variety CSR-30 followed by variety, Haryana Basmati-2, PB-1121 and PB-1during crop season. Highest grain yield was recorded by crop transplanted during 2nd fortnight of June followed by 1st fortnight of July and 2nd fortnight of July and among the varieties, the grain yield of Haryana Basmati-2 was highest followed by PB-1121, PB-1 and CSR-30. The WOFOST model was validated by using previously calibrated coefficients and the model simulation for phenology, grain yield and maximum LAI was within acceptable limit except straw yield. The sensitivity analysis of rice to weather parameters was also carried out using the WOFOST model by altering the weather parameters in weather input file of the model. It was found that the crop phenology is more affected by the minimum temperature alteration by +2 °C and the yield and LAI of delayed transplanted crop was more affected by the sunshine hour‟s variation.ThesisItem Open Access Evaluation of crop-weather relationships in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under varying growing environments(CCSHAU, 2018) Chhabra, Karan; Raj SinghField experiment entitled “Evaluation of crop-weather relationships in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under varying growing environments” was conducted during rabi season (2016-17 and 2017-18) at research farm, Department of Agricultural Meteorology, CCS HAU, Hisar located at 29° 10´ N latitude, 75° 46´ E longitude and 215.2 m altitude. The experiment was put in a split plot design and comprised of four sowing dates (main plot treatments) viz. D1- 3rdNovember; D2- 18thNovember; D3- 3rd December and D4- 19th December; four sub plot treatments comprising four different varieties viz. V1 (BH 393), V2 (BH 902), V3 (BH 946) and V4 (BH 885) during crop season 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively with three replications. Crop growth and development i.e. the phenology, plant height, no. of tillers, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation and its partitioning were higher in D1 and V4 under different growing environments and varieties. Among all the treatments, D1 observed higher grain (64.0 qha-1) and biological yields (137.5 qha-1) during crop season 2016-17. However, the highest grain (59.0 qha-1) and biological (131.5 qha-1) yields were observed in D1 and were lowest in D4 among all different dates of sowing during crop season 2017-18. The highest grain and biological (57.2 and 134.6 qha-1during crop season 2016-17) and (52.5 and 130.2 qha-1during crop season 2017-18) were observed in V4, respectively showed statistically significant results and maximum soil moisture content was recorded in D1 from before sowing to harvest at after second irrigation during both the crop seasons. Almost all the varietal treatments showed statistically non-significant results except V2 (BH 902) at before sowing to harvesting in before and after irrigation during both the crop seasons. Among different growing environments, significantly higher morning soil temperature was observed in D1 at 5 and 15 cm depth and lower was in D4 at 5 and 15 cm depth from seeding to tillering phase during both the crop seasons. Among varying growing environments, the higher chlorophyll content was significantly recorded in D1as compare to other dates of sowing, highest incident PAR observations were recorded in D4 sown crop at 45 DAS, LAImax and crop maturity phase, respectively during both crop seasons. Among varieties during both crop seasons at 45 DAS, LAImax and crop maturity stage V4 (BH 885) variety received higher intercepted radiation. All the agrometeorological indices, the higher AGDD, AHTU, APTU, ARTD, HUE and RUE were consumed by D1 among different growing environments at different phenophases during both the crop seasons with some exceptions than other treatments. Among varieties, the highest AGDD, AHTU, APTU, ARTD, HUE and RUE were observed in V4 (BH 885) from emergence to physiological maturity. Among micrometeorological parameters, the absorbed PAR of radiation was higher in D1 under different growing environments and was maximum in V4 (BH 885) under varying growing barley cultivars at booting phase during both crop seasons. Among different growing environments, the net radiation was higher at anthesis. The soil heat flux was higher at physiological maturity and the minimum soil heat flux was observed at anthesis and at booting. The latent heat of vaporization was higher at anthesis. The sensible heat flux was highest at physiological maturity during and at jointing, respectively during two year study. The higher canopy temperature Tc was observed at hard dough stage during two year study. The differences between canopy and air temperature (Tc-Ta) were highest at hard dough stage and it was lowest at anthesis. The temperature profiles were inversed throughout the day within the canopy. Over the top of the crop canopy the temperature profile was lapse. The relative humidity profiles were lapse inside the crop canopy throughout the day but profiles were near iso-humic at 9:00 hours at different growth stages during both crop seasons.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on climatic parameters influencing milk production in cattle(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 2003) Kathilankal, James C; Bishnoi, O.
