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.

    Influence of manure and nano urea on productivity and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-08-01) Pooja; Thakral, S.K.
    The present investigation entitled “Influence of manure and nano urea on productivity and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” was carried out during Rabi 2022-23 at the Agronomy Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, CCS HAU, Hisar with the objectives to evaluate the effect of organic manures and nano urea on growth, quality, yield and economics of wheat. The research was carried out in factorial randomized block design with nine treatments with four replications. Factor A consisted of two wheat varieties (WH 1270 and DBW 303), assisted in main plot and while factor B comprised nine fertility levels, viz., 100% RDF, 125% RDF, 3 sprays of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 20-25, 40-45 and 60-65 DAS, 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t/ha + 1 spray of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 40-45 DAS, 75% RDF + 2 sprays of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 20-25 and 40-45 DAS + PSB, 50% RDF + VC @ 4 t/ha + FYM @ 5t/ha + 1 spray of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 40-45 DAS, 50% RDF + VC @ 4 t/ha + 2 sprays of nano urea @ 500ml/ acre at 20-25 and 40-45 DAS, 50% RDF + FYM @ 10 t/ha + Azotobacter @ 500 g/ha, 50% RDF + 2 sprays of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 20-25 and 40-45 DAS + Azotobacter @ 500g/ha + PSB in sub plots. Based on the present study it was be concluded that the variety WH 1270 recorded in significantly higher growth parameters such as plant height, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR) and yield attributing characters, viz., number of spikes per mrl-1 and 1000 grain weight as compared to the variety DBW 303. Higher grain yield (5154 kg ha-1) and straw yield (6099 kg ha-1) were registered by the variety WH 1270. Among the fertility levels, maximum plant height, crop growth rate, relative growth rate along with yield attributing like number of spikes per mrl-1, number of grains per spike and 1000- grain weight were noted by the treatment with application of 125% dose of fertilizer. This treatment resulted in dry matter accumulation, number of spikes per mrl-1,number of grains per spike and 1000- grain weight at par with the treatment with 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t/ha + 1 spray of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 40-45 DAS. Maximum grains yield (5426 kg ha-1) was recorded with the treatment 125% RDF which was at par with the treatments 100% RDF (5350 kg ha-1) and 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t/ha + 1 spray of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 40-45 DAS (5396 kg ha-1). Maximum straw yield (5422 kg ha-1) was observed with the treatment 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t/ha + 1 spray of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 40-45 DAS were applied. Highest protein content (11.26%) was recorded with the treatment where 125% RDF was applied. It was 1.3% and 1.5% higher than the treatments with 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t/ha + 1 spray of nano urea @ 500 ml/acre at 40-45 DAS (11.50) and 100% RDF (11.48). Highest net returns (₹ 86937 ha-1) and B: C (1.24) ratio were recorded with the treatment where 75% RDF + FYM at @ 5 t/ha with 1 spray of nano urea at 40-45 DAS was applied.
