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.

    Compensating nitrogen fertilizer requirement of desi wheat through Azotobacter and vermicompost
    (CCSHAU, 2019) Fazal Rabi; Sewhag, Meena
    The present study entitled, “Compensating nitrogen fertilizer requirement of desi wheat through Azotobacter and vermicompost” was conducted during the rabi season of 2017-2018 at the Agronomy Research Farm of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of Azotobacter and vermicompost on growth, yield, quality and economics of desi wheat. The soil of the experimental field is sandy loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon and nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and potassium. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice with ten treatments viz. T1 (Control) , T2 (Vermicompost @ 6 t ha-1) , T3 (Azotobacter + Vermicompost @ 6 t ha-1), T4 (30 kg N ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 3 t ha-1), T5 (40 kg N ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1), T6 (50 kg N ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1), T7 (30 kg N ha-1 + Azotobacter + Vermicompost @ 3 t ha-1), T8 (40 kg N ha-1 + Azotobacter + Vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1), T9 (50 kg N ha-1 + Azotobacter + Vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1) and T10 (60 kg N ha-1). Among various combinations of nitrogen fertilizer, vermicompost and Azotobacter treatments ,T10 recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz. [plant height (cm), LAI and dry matter accumulation/plant], yield attributing characters [Number of grains per spike, number of spikelets per spike and spike length (cm) ] , grain, straw and biological yield , protein content, N, P and K content and uptake in grain and straw, total N, P and K uptake, gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio of desi wheat. However, in terms of growth, yield, nutrient studies, quality and economics in treatment T9 and T8 were at par with treatment T10. But various treatments failed to produce any significant variation in days taken to seedling emergence, panicle initiation and anthesis, plant population at 15 DAS, 1000 grain weight and harvest index.
