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.

    Response of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) varieties to different irrigation levels and anti-transpirants
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-10) AJEEJ, TAMBOLI YASIR; Yadav], J. S.
    The present study entitled “Response of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) varieties to different irrigation levels and anti-transpirants” was conducted on loamy sand soil during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Regional Research Station, Bawal, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Twenty-four treatment combinations comprising of three levels of irrigation viz., Control (I1), One irrigation at 40 DAS (I2), Two irrigation at 40 and 75 DAS (I3), two varieties viz., RH-725 (V1) and RH-749 (V2) and four levels of anti-transpirants viz., Control (A1), PMA @ 250 ppm at 45 and 90 DAS (A2), kaolin 6 % at 45 and 90 DAS (A3) and PMA @ 250 ppm + kaolin (6%) at 45 and 90 DAS (A4) were evaluated in split plot design with three replications by keeping levels of irrigation and varieties as main plot and anti-transpirants in sub plots. From the results of two-year field investigation during rabi 2017-18 and 2018-19, it was highlighted that the significantly higher growth, yield and yield parameters as well as CU, WUE, net realization and B: C ratio of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) could be obtained with application two irrigations, each at 40 and 75 DAS as compared to over one irrigation at 40 DAS (I2) and control (I1), respectively during 2017-18 and 2018-19. The mustard crop sown under two irrigations exhibited 18.3 and 14.1 % higher seed yield over I2 and 39.8 and 43.0 % higher seed yield over I1, respectively during both years. The genotype RH-749 proved to be best as compared to RH-725 in terms of all morpho-physiological and yield traits as well as CU, WUE, net return and B: C ratio during both years. Whereas, application of PMA @ 250 ppm + kaolin (6%) at 45 and 90 DAS (A4) recorded significantly higher growth, yield and yield parameters as well as CU, WUE, net realization and BCR followed by kaolin 6 % at 45 and 90 DAS (A3) and PMA @ 250 ppm at 45 and 90 DAS (A2) superior over control (A1), respectively during both years of experimentation. Thus, maximum seed yield, CU, WUE, net realization and B: C ratio can be achieved by sowing the mustard variety RH-749 along with application of two irrigations at 40 and 75 DAS and PMA @ 250 ppm + kaolin (6%) at 45 and 90 DAS on loamy sand soils under the agro-climatic condition of Bawal, Rewari, Haryana.
