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.

    Effect of foliar application of nitrogen based formulations on quality and yield of fodder sorghum during summer season under semi-arid condition
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-07-06) Anil; Satpal
    A field experiment entitled “Effect of foliar application of nitrogen based formulations on quality and yield of fodder sorghum during summer season under semi-arid condition” was carried out during summer season, 2022 at the Forage Section Research Farm, Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with fourteen treatments and replicated thrice. Among all the treatments, at harvest, the significantly higher plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index (LAI), leaf to stem ratio, green fodder yield, dry fodder yield and crude protein content of 209.33 cm, 132.85, 6.85, 0.38 , 445.42 q ha-1, 128.17 q ha-1 and 9.94 % respectively, were recorded with foliar application of nano-urea @ 0.6% at 35 DAS and 50 DAS, which was on a par with one nano-urea spray @ 0.4% at 35 DAS, two nano-urea spray @ 0.4% at 35 and 50 DAS and one nano-urea spray @ 0.6% at 35 DAS when RDF was also applied in all these treatments. The maximum B:C (1.99) was fetched with the application of RDF and foliar application of nano-urea @ 0.4% at 35 DAS and 50 DAS or only at 35 DAS and application of RDF followed by one nano-urea spray @ 0.6% at 35 DAS. In conclusion, for achieving higher fodder yield and quality of sorghum along with better remunerations, application of RDF followed by foliar application of nanourea @ 0.4% at 35 DAS may be recommended.
