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.

    Integrated nutrient management in green gram (Vigna radiata L.)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-03) Mohit; Vinod Kumar
    The present study entitled “ Integrated nutrient management in Green Gram ( Vigna radiata L.)’’ an experiment carried out at agronomy farm at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2019-2020. Different types of treatments, a total of 13 viz. T1 – Control, T2 - Vermicompost @2.5t/ha, T3 - Rhizobium + PSB, T4 - 50% RDF, T5 -75% RDF, T6 – RDF, T7 -50% RDF + Rhizobium +PSB, T8 - 50% RDF + Vermicompost@ 1t/ha, T9 - 50% RDF + 1t/ha Vermicompost + PSB + Rhizobium, T10 -75 % RDF + Rhizobium + PSB, T11 -75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 1 t/ha, T12 -75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 1t/ha + PSB +Rhizobium, T13 - RDF + Rhizobium + PSB were used. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Observations were recorded on different growth, yield attributing characters and finally economics was studied. The results showed that maximum accumulation of dry matter per plant (48.61g/ha), pod length (8.21 cm), number of pods (13.61), number of seeds per pod (8.69), seed index (4.78), grain yield (13.26 q/ha), straw yield (26.52 q/ha), biological yield (39.78 q/ha), harvest index (28.13), cost of cultivation (18700 Rs/ha), Gross and net monetary returns (79560 Rs/ha and 60860 Rs/ha respectively), BC ratio (3.25) were found in treatment combination of 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 1ton/ha + PSB + Rhizobium, while the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium content in mungbean plant as well as grain and initial NPK content as well as NPK content in soil after harvest were found non-significant. Minimum values for all these parameters were obtained under control

    Evaluation of different methods of establishment in kharif maize (Zea mays L.)
    (CCSHAU, 2019) Mohit; Kamboj, B.R.
    A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station, Uchani, Karnal of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana (India) during kharif 2018. Experiment comprised of eight treatments (establishment methods) viz., zero tillage-drill sown (with wheat residue @ 4 t/ha), zero tillage-drill sown (without residue), zero tillage-dibbling sown (with wheat residue @ 4 t/ha), zero tillage-dibbling sown (without residue), conventional tillage-drill sown, conventional tillage-dibbling, CT-raised bed-MCP sown, CT-raised bed-dibbling. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Weather data revealed that rainfall received during the cropping season was 984.4 mm, which was well-distributed up to September which resulted in good crop stand and growth. Among different establishment methods, zero tillage-drill sown (with wheat residue) recorded higher growth parameters, higher grain and stover yields, net income and B-C ratio with good crop growth at all growth stages as compared to other methods. Zero-tillage (ZT) was found superior to both CT- flat bed and CT-raised bed due higher growth parameters (plant height, LAI, dry matter accumulation), yield attributes (cob weight, harvest index), net returns and B: C. ZT with residue gave significantly higher grain and stover yields than CT-flat bed and CT-raised bed. Similarly, residue retention was better than without residue in respect of growth, yield and yield attributes and net returns. There was no difference in drill sowing and dibbling under similar tillage (ZT/CT) or residue mulch situations. Thus Zero tillage-drill sown with residue mulch could be a viable establishment method in maize.
