    (CCSHAU, 2008) Narender Singh; Midha, L.K.
    The present experiment entitled “Effect of crop geometery and nitrogen levels on growth and yield of newly develop pearlmillet hybrid HHB197” was conducted at Research farm, Choudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Kharif season of 2007. Four spacing patterns viz., 45 x 12, 45 x 16, 60 x 12 and 60x16 cm and five nitrogen levels viz., control, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg N ha-1 tested in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. Plant growth in terms of height, number of tillers per plant, dry matter accumulation plant-1, leaf area plant-1 increased significantly xix with increase in spacing at most of the stages of observations. Similarly, yield attributing characters like effective tillers plant-1, 1000 grain weight, length of earhead, girth of earhead and NPK, protein content increased significantly with increase in spacing whereas, grain, stover and biological yield, NPK uptake, net return and B: C ratio recorded significantly higher with 45 x 16 cm spacing over 45 x 12, 60 x 12 and 60x16 cm spacing. Various levels of nitrogen influenced plant growth in terms of height, number of tillers plant-1, dry matter accumulation plant-1, leaf area plant-1 and leaf area index significantly at 160 kg N ha-1 over 120,80,40 kg N ha-1 and control. Similarly, yield attributing characters, yields, NPK content and uptake, protein content and protein yield increased significantly with increasing nitrogen levels. Net return and B: C ratio recorded highest with nitrogen level 160 kg N ha-1.

    Effect of seed rates on growth, yield and seed quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Parmeshwer Singh; Satyavan
    An investigation entitled “Effect of seed rates on growth, yield and seed quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L) varieties was carried out during rabi season of 2006-07 at Plant Breeding Research Area of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The experiment was laid down in split–plot design keeping four varieties viz., PBW-343, WH-711, WH- 283 and WH-542 in main-plots and four seed rates, 87.5, 100, 112.5 and 125 kg ha-1 with three replications. The plant population was observed higher in variety WH-542, followed by PBW-343, WH-711 and WH-283. Growth parameters viz. dry matter accumulation, and number of tillers per meter row length were higher in variety PBW-343. But plant height xix was significantly more in variety WH-283, than rest of the varieties. Leaf area index did not vary due to varieties. All the yield attributes were better in variety PBW-343, except the tests weight. Grain yield was highest in variety PBW-343 and lowest in WH-283. Straw yield was highest in WH-283 followed by PBW-343, WH-542 and WH-711. Harvest index was better in variety WH-711. Germination percentage was significantly different due to varieties, but not due to seed rates. Seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-I and vigour index-II were improved at lower seed rate of 87.5 kg ha-1, in all varieties. Accelerated aging, electrical conductivity and protein content were significantly affected by the varieties while seed rate affected these parameters nonsignificantly. Net return and benefit: cost ratio was highest at the seed rate of 100 kg ha-1 for variety WH-542, at 112.5 kg ha-1 for PBW-343 and at 125 kg ha-1 for varieties WH-711 and WH-283.

    Response of summer moong genotypes to dates of sowing
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Manoj Kumar; Lathwal, O.P.
    An investigation entitled “Response of summer moong genotypes to dates of sowing” was conducted at KVK farm Kurukshetra during summer season of 2007. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments comprised to two genotypes (SML 668 and MH 318) sown on 1st, 10th, 20th, 30th March, 9th and 19th April. The genotype SML 668 registered better growth (plant height, dry matter, accumulation, crop growth rate, relative growth rate), yield attributes, grain, straw and biological yield than MH 318. There was 24,32, 44% contribution of leaves, stem and pods to dry matter production at harvest irrespective of genotypes and sowing time. However, the genotype MH 318 took 3 days less in 50% flowering and maturity. SML 668 removed more nutrients and gave higher protein yield than MH 318. The crop sown on 20th March recorded better growth and more number of pods/plant, grain, straw and biological yield followed by 30th March than advance or delayed sowings. However, appraisable grain yield (14.5-15.5 t/ha) was received under advance (1st March) and delayed upto 19th April) sowings also. Early sown crop took more days in emergence (4-7), 50% flowering (33-44) and maturity (56 to 67) due to variations in temperature. The time of sowing could not influence the NPK content protein content and protein yield both in grain and straw but the nutrient uptake was directly proportional to grain and straw yields.

    Effect of sewage water and sewage sludge on fodder sorghum
    (CCSHAU, 2009) Mahesh Kumar; Pahuja, S.S.
    A field experiment entitled, “Effect of sewage water and sewage sludge on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)”, was conducted during kharif season at the KVK Sonipat of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India). The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam in texture; low in organic carbon, nitrogen; low in phosphorus; high in potassium and slightly alkaline in reaction. The field experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatments consisted of all irrigation with sewage water (4 irrigation), 3 irrigation with sewage water + 1 irrigation with tube well water, 2 irrigation with sewage water + 2 irrigation with tube well water, 1 irrigation with sewage water + 3 irrigation with tube well water and all irrigation with tube well water in main plot treatments and sewage sludge @ 10 t ha-1, 50% sewage sludge + 50% recommended fertilizers and recommended fertilizer (80 kg N + 30 kg P2O5) in subplots. The irrigation treatments where all irrigation with sewage water proved its superiority over irrigation treatments with tube well water in respect of plant height, dry matter accumulation. The nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium content and uptake was superior where all irrigation with sewage water were applied Significantly the crop harvested higher fodder yield where all irrigation were applied with sewage water. The pH of the soil decrease with the use of sewage water. EC, organic carbon and micronutrient content of soil increased where all irrigation were applied with sewage water compared to where all irrigation were applied with tube well water. Growth parameters, viz., plant height, dry matter accumulation and fodder yield of crop increased with the use of sewage sludge @ 10 t ha-1 over control where recommended fertilizer were applied. The total N, P, K content and uptake, protein content were significantly higher where we use sewage sludge @ 10 t ha-1 were applied compared to recommended fertilizer Based on the study it may be concluded that the application of sewage water and sewage sludge harvested maximum plant height, dry matter accumulation, and fodder yield. The protein content, organic carbon, N, P, and K increased significantly with the use of sewage water and sewage sludge.

    Response of basmati rice varieties to time of transplanting
    (CCSHAU, 2009) Mukesh; Ishwar Singh
    The present study entitled “Response of basmati rice varieties to time of transplanting” was carried out at Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University Rice Research Station, Kaul (Kaithal) during kharif season of 2008-09 on clay loam alkaline soil, low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in phosphorus and high in potassium. The treatments consisted of three dates of transplanting (June 25, July 10 and July 25) and four varieties (Taraori Basmati, CSR-30, Pusa Basmati-1 and Pusa Sugandha-4) laid out in split-plot design with four replications, keeping transplanting dates in main plots and varieties in sub plots. Thirty days old seedlings of the crop were transplanted mainly on a well puddled soil at a hill spacing of 20 x 15 cm with two seedlings per hill. The studies revealed that, the early transplanting (June 25 and July 10) significantly increased all the crop growth parameters viz. plant height, tillers/m2, dry matter accumulation and leaf area index over the late transplanting (July 25). The yield contributing characters (panicles/m2, grains/panicle), yield (grain and straw), net profit and benefit cost ratio were higher with early transplanting dates as compared to late planting. The late planting, however, improved the quality traits viz. hulling, milling and head rice recovery than early planting. Among the varieties, tall varieties (Taraori Basmati and CSR-30) took longer time to attain 50% flowering and maturity than semi dwarf varieties. The semi dwarf varieties produced more tillers/m2 than taller ones but reverse was true for dry matter accumulation, leaf area index, hulling, milling and head rice recovery. Pusa Sugandha-4 was found best as it gave the highest grain yield, net income, benefit cost ratio, longest kernel and length breadth ratio than all other varieties.

    Agronomical management of late sown wheat
    (CCSHAU, 2009) Asha Ram; Pannu, R.K.
    The field experiment entitled, “Agronomical management of late sown wheat” was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during rabi season of 2007-08. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design. There were ten treatment combinations namely :(T1 )-dry seeding on15th December followed by irrigation, (T2)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed on15th December followed by irrigation, (T3)-dry seeding with 25% higher seed rate on15th December followed by irrigation, (T4)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed with 25% higher seed rate on15th December followed by irrigation, (T5)-dry seeding on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T6)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T7)-dry seeding with 25% higher seed rate on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T8)-dry seeding with overnight soaked seed with 25% higher seed rate on 1st January followed by irrigation, (T9)-dry seed sowing on 1st January after pre sowing irrigation on 15th December and (T10)-soaked seed sowing on 1st January after pre sowing irrigation on 15th December. The treatment T4 observed with highest number of seedling emergence and minimum number of seedling was found in T5. The days taken to attainment of heading, anthesis and physiological maturity were recorded significantly higher in 15th December sown treatments as compared to 1st January sown treatments. The dry matter accumulation, LAI, LAD and CGR were recorded significantly higher in T4 than all other treatments. Among the yield attributing characters number of effective tillers/mrl was found highest in T4 followed by T3 and minimum in T5. But, among all the treatments T4 observed with significantly higher grain yield (4196 kg/ha) and biological yield (10359 kg/ha). Significantly lower grain (2885 kg/ha) and biological yield (7426 kg/ha) were observed in T5 as compared to all other treatments except T6 with which it was found statistically at par. The LAI, LAD, CGR, RGR and NAR have shown highly significant and positive correlation among themselves and with grain yield. Among the yield attributes number of effective tiller/mrl had significant association (r = 0.97) with grain yield, biomass yield and straw yield of wheat also had significant positive association (r = 0.99).
