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 split application of nitrogen on growth and quality parameters of different wheat cultivars
    (CCSHAU, 2005) Kathwal, Rajesh; Thakral, S.K.
    The field study entitled, “ Effect of split application of nitrogen on growth and quality parameters of different wheat cultivars” was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during winter (rabi) season of 2002-2003. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design allocating five-split application of nitrogen i.e., I) ½ N basal+1/2 N at first irrigation, II) 1/3 N basal+2/3 N at first node, III) 1/3 N basal+1/3 N at first irrigation+1/3 N at first node, IV) ¼ N basal+1/2 N at first node+1/4 N at milking stage, and V) Full dose of nitrogen at first node in main plots with five different wheat varieties i.e., WH 595, WH 283, PBW 343, WH 912 and WH 896 in sub-plots, replicated thrice. Among the five split application of nitrogen, 1/3 + 2/3 at first node significantly higher in growth characters, yield and yield attributes, NPK content, NPK uptake and protein content followed by 1/3 N basal+1/3N at first irrigation+1/3 N at first node. Split application of nitrogen ¼ N basal+1/2 Nat first node+1/4 N at milking stage significantly higher in 1000-grain weight, sedimentation value, beta-carotene and hectoliter weight. Among the varieties, PBW 343 is superior in growth habits, yield and yield attributing characters, NPK content, NPK uptake and protein content. Variety WH 896 significantly higher in sedimentation value, beta-carotene content and hectoliter weight.
