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.

    Resource conservation techniques and weed management in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.)]
    (CCSHAU, 2005) Anupam Kumar; Malik, Y.P.
    A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of CCS HAU, Hisar to evaluate the Resource Conservation Techniques (RCTs) and weed control treatments in mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilzeck) during kharif season of 2004. The density and dry weight of carpetweed (Trianthema portulacastrum) were significantly lower under furrow irrigated raised bed system (FIRBS) compared to zero and conventional tillage. Yield and yield attributes of mungbean were not influenced by different RCTs. Pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha-1 applied pre emergence was found most effective in reducing density and dry weight of carpetweed at 20 days after sowing (DAS) but at 40 DAS pendimethalin at 0.75 kg (pre emergence)+ one hand weeding (30 DAS) proved more effective against this weed. At 60 DAS and at harvest, hand weeding given at 20 and 40 DAS were superior over all other treatments. Significantly higher grain yield of mungbean was recorded in weed free plots compared to plots receiving other treatments. Grain yield of mungbean was reduced to a tune of 31.6% when weeds were allowed to grow throughout the growth season. Highest and lowest nutrient uptake by crop as well as weed was recoded under weed free and weedy check, respectively. From economics point of view, alachlor (1 kg ha-1) was found most effective particularly when combined with FIRBS.
