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.

    Nitrogen scheduling in different cultivars of basmati rice under direct seeding conditions
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Mohinder Singh; Yadav, Dharam Bir
    The investigation entitled “Nitrogen scheduling in different cultivars of basmati rice under direct seeding conditions” was carried out at Regional Research Station, Karnal of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif season of 2014 and 2015. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatments included four basmati rice cultivars viz. PB-1121, PB-1509, PB-1 and HB-2 as main plots. Sub plot treatments included N at 90, 100 and 110 kg ha-1 with 3 splits (0, 15 and 50 DAS) or 4 splits (0, 20, 40 and 60 DAS) of application with 11.5 kg N ha-1 as basal dose and remaining in equal splits. Cultivar HB-2 recorded highest growth parameters, yield and yield attributes which was statistically at par with PB-1121 but superior than PB-1 and PB- 1509. The plant height, dry weight accumulation, CGR, LAI, LAD, number of effective tillers, grains/panicle and grain yield of all the basmati rice cultivars increased with increase in N levels and number of splits. The grain yield at 110 kg N ha-1 with 4 splits (49.8 q ha-1) increased by 18 % over 90 kg N ha-1 with 3 splits (42.2 q ha-1). The maximum total N uptake (82.4-82.6 kg ha-1), P (26.3-27.8 kg ha-1) and K (120.5-125.2 kg ha-1) was recorded with 110 kg N ha-1 in 4 splits. Maximum net returns (Rs.18547-Rs.19948) and B-C ratio (1.23-1.25) was recorded with 110 kg N ha-1 with 4 splits. Application of 110 kg N ha-1 in 4 splits at 0, 20, 40 and 60 DAS was found to be the best N schedule for these basmati cultivars.
