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.

    Yield and quality of cotton genotypes as influenced by different sowing time
    (CCSHAU, 2018) Renu Bala; Shweta
    A field experiment entitled, “Yield and quality of cotton genotypes as influenced by different sowing time”, was conducted at the research area of the Cotton Section, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during the kharif season of 2017. This experiment comprised of four sowing times (1st fortnight of April, 2nd fortnight of April, 1st fortnight of May and 2nd fortnight of May) in main plots and three genotypes (RCH 650, H 1098i and HD 432) in sub-plots. Total thirty six treatment combinations were tested in split plot design with three replications. The crop sown on 2nd fortnight of April gave significantly higher seed cotton yield (4556 kg/ha) than the other three sowing times, it was mainly attributed to more plant height, dry matter production, leaf area index, no. of bolls/m2, no. of sympodial branch and boll weight. Sowing time have shown non-significant effect on fiber quality parameters such as micronaire value, fiber strength, span length and upper half mean length (UHML) because these parameters are genetically controlled and therefore less influenced by sowing time. Among the three genotypes, RCH 650 produced significantly higher seed cotton yield (4395 kg/ha) than the genotype H 1098i (3344 kg/ha) and HD 432 (2488 kg/ha). More dry matter production, leaf area index, no. of sympodial branch and boll weight might have accounted for the highest seed cotton yield of genotype RCH 650. The difference in seed cotton yield among the genotypes might be due to different genetic characteristics of these three cotton genotypes. Genotype RCH 650 has shown better fibre quality traits such as micronaire value (4.42 10-6g/inch), fiber strength (28.21 g/tex), span length (82.41 mm) and UHML (27.67 mm) than the genotypes H 1098i and HD 432. Genotype HD 432 produced higher seed cotton yield when sown on 1st fortnight of April and H1098i produced higher seed cotton yield during 1st fortnight of April and 2nd fortnight of April.
