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.

    Performance of biofortified pearl millet hybrid with intercropping of legumes and oilseed in semi arid environment
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-07) Suman; Anil Kumar
    The experiment entitled “Performance of biofortified pearl millet hybrid (HHB299) with intercropping of legumes and oilseed in semi arid environment” was conducted at the Research Farm of Bajra Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Kharif season of 2019 to assess the effect of different legume and oilseed intercrops on growth, yield, competition functions and economics of pearl millet based intercropping systems. The experiment consisting of 11 treatments i.e. sole crops of pearl mille at 45 cm row spacing and in paired raw (30:60), green gram (MH-421), cluster bean (HG 2-20) and Sesame (HT1) along with intercropping of green gram, cluster bean and sesame with pearl millet in 2:1 and 2:2 row ratios was laid out in randomised block design with three replications. Phenological studies revealed that intercropping of pearl millet-sesame 2:1 intercropping took maximum number of days to reach various phenological stages. Sole pearl millet at 45 cm had highest LAI at 40 DAS and LAD values between 41 to 60 DAS. At harvest, sole pearl millet at 45 cm had maximum (83.11 g plant-1) and pearl millet-sesame in 2:1 intercropping had minimum dry matter accumulation plant-1. The yield attributes viz. effective tillers plant-1, earhead length, earhead girth and test weight were found significantly higher in sole pearl millet at 45 cm than all the treatments except number of effective tillers plant-1, earhead girth and test weight in 2:2 row ratio of pearl millet-green gram intercropping system. Grain:chaff varied from 2.31 to 2.95 whereas, tiller conservation index (TCI) ranged between 66.74 to 73.81 % among different treatments. The highest pearl millet grain yield (48.83 q ha-1) was realized in the sole pearl millet at 45 cm and it recorded 4.15, 7.55, 11.97, 18.55, 19.20, 19.99 q ha-1 higher yield than intercropping system of pearl millet with green gram, cluster bean and sesame in 2:1 and 2:2 row ratios, respectively. The stover yield of sole pearl millet at 45 cm was 2.57, 4.57, 9.49 q ha-1 higher over its intercropping with green gram, cluster bean and sesame, respectively in 2:1 row ratio and 29.30, 29.89, 31.80 q ha-1 higher over these intercrops in 2:2 intercropping system. The protein content was maximum in pearl millet-green gram 2:2 intercropping system (11.13 %). Various competition indices viz. LER, ATER, aggressivity, crowding coefficient and competition ratio indicated that sesame was most competitive and green gram was most complementary crop among all the intercrops. The higher values of monetary advantage index (Rs. 27,711 ha-1) and income equivalent ratio (1.28) in green gram intercropped with pearl millet in 2:1 row ratio indicated that this was the most profitable intercropping system. The pearl millet equivalent yield of pearl millet-green gram in 2:1 row ratio (64.65 q ha-1) was significantly higher than sole pearl millet (57.84 q ha-1) and all the intercropping treatments (20.01-59.68 q ha-1). The gross (` 1,29,304 ha-1) and net (` 82,683 ha-1) returns were highest in pearl millet-green gram 2:1 intercropping system and net returns from this system was `7,690 ha-1 more as compared to sole pearl millet at 45 cm. Maximum benefit-cost ratio was recorded in sole pearl millet (2.84) which was followed by pearl millet-green gram in 2:1 intercropping system (2.77).
