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.

ThesisItem Open Access Morpho-physiological characteristics, biomass partitioning and productivity of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) hybrids and their parents (B and R - lines) under rainfed & irrigated situations(CCSHAU, 2018) Sharma, Saurav; Anil KumarThe present experiment entitled “Morpho-physiological characteristics, biomass partitioning and productivity of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) hybrids and their parents (B and R - lines) under rainfed & irrigated situations” was conducted in Research Area of Bajra Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif seasons of 2016 and 2017 with the objective to find out the comparative performance of newly developed pearl millet hybrids and their parents in terms of morpho-physiological characteristics, partitioning of biomass and productivity under both irrigated and rainfed situations. The experiment consisting of 36 different treatments i.e., six pearl millet hybrids (HHB 67 Improved, HHB 197, HHB 272, HHB 226, HHB 234 and HHB 223) and their female lines i.e., B-Lines (ICMB 843-22, ICMB 97111, HMS 47 B, ICMB 843-22, HMS 7B and ICMB 94555) and male lines R-Lines (H-77/833-2-202, HBL-11, AC 04/13, HBL-11, H-77/833-2-202 and HBL-11) under two environments rainfed and irrigated were laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Phenological events like 50% flowering and physiological maturity were early among hybrids (1.0 and 2.3 days), B-Lines (1.6 and 2.7 days) and R-Lines (0.9 and 1.2 days) under rainfed condition than irrigated environment. Growth parameters, growth indices and yield attributes were superior under irrigated environment than rainfed condition. The growth indices CGR and NAR attained their peak between 21-40 days of crop. The periodical biomass partitioning studies revealed that upto 40 days of the crop stages, maximum contribution was from leaves. Whereas, after that contribution of stem and earhead continue increased upto maturity of the crop. Plant water relation and physiological studies showed more values of leaf water potential, relative water content (%) and chlorophyll content among hybrids (-1.09, 79.0% and 52.5%), B-Lines (-1.10, 71.4% and 51.3%) and R-Lines (-1.10, 70.5% and 51.0%), respectively at 60 DAS under irrigated condition than rainfed situation. The hybrid HHB 197 and HHB 223 had reflected more values of these traits under rainfed and irrigated situations and proved to be best yielder. The grain yield, stover yield and biological yield were obtained higher in hybrid HHB 197 (30.33, 76.18 and 106.51 q ha-1) under rainfed environment and in HHB 223 (37.36, 91.59 and 128.94 q ha-1) under irrigated situation, whereas, among B-Lines, these values were maximum in ICMB 94555 and in R-Lines AC 04/13 under both of the environments. More growing degree days (GDD), photo thermal units (PTU) and helio thermal units (HTU) were exhibited by crop under irrigated environment than rainfed situation. Among hybrids better values of these parameters were exhibited by HHB 197 (1436.2 0C day, 18311.9, and 10068.8 0C day hour) and HHB 223 (1481.7 0C day, 18819.1 and 10342.7 0C day hour) under rainfed and irrigated environments, respectively. Among R-Lines, these parameters were maximum in AC 04/13. The GDD, HTU, PTU, HUE and RUE were maximum in B-line ICMB 94555 and ICMB 97111 under both the environments.ThesisItem Open Access Evaluation of different herbicides on kharif maize and their residual effect on succeeding wheat crop(CCSHAU, 2018) Ajay Singh; Mehar ChandThe present investigation entitled “Evaluation of different herbicides on kharif maize and their residual effect on succeeding wheat crop” was studied at Regional Research Station, Karnal during kharif 2015 and 2016 and rabi 2015-16 and 2016-17 with the objectives, to find out the effect of different weed control methods on weed flora, growth and yield of kharif planted maize, to study the residual effect of different herbicides applied in maize on succeeding wheat crop and to work out the economics of different weed control treatments. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design and comprised of seventeen treatment combination applied in kharif maize. The treatments were atrazine 750 g/ha PRE (T1), atrazine 1000 g/ha PRE (T2), atrazine 750 and 500 at PRE and 35 DAS (T3), atrazine 750 g/ha as PRE fb 2, 4-D 500 g/ha at 35 DAS (T4), atrazine 1000 g/ha as PRE fb one hoeing at 35 DAS (T5), one hoeing at 20 DAS fb atrazine 500 g/ha at 35 DAS (T6), alachlor 2000 g/ha as PRE (T7), alachlor 2000 g/ha as PRE fb hoeing at 35 DAS (T8), alachlor 2000 g/ha as PRE fb 2, 4-D 500 g/ha at 35 DAS (T9), atrazine 375 g/ha+ alachlor 1000 g/ha as PRE (T10), tembotrione 120 g/ha +S at 35 DAS (T11), tembotrione 140 g/ha +S at 35 DAS (T12), alachlor 2000 g/ha as PRE fb tembotrione 120 g/ha +S at 35 DAS (T13), atrazine 1000 g/ha as PRE fb tembotrione 120 g/ha +S at 35 DAS (T14), hoeing twice at 20 and 35 DAS (T15) , weedy check and weed free. Major weed species infesting the experimental field were Cyperus rotundus, Brachiaria reptans, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Amaranthus viridis, Digera arvensis, Phyllanthus niruri and Portulaca oleracea. The treatment alachlor 2000 g/ha as PRE fb tembotrione 120 g/ha +S at 35 DAS (T13) provided excellent control of all types of weeds at different stages of the crop growth during both year of experimentation. Among herbicide treatments at 50 DAS, alachlor 2000 g ha-1as PRE fb tembotrione 120 g ha-1 provided highest weed control efficiency (94.6 and 95.6 %) during both the years. Maximum grain yield (6505 and 6903 kg ha-1) and yield attributes of maize were obtained in weed free treatment which was statistically at par with alachlor 2000 g/ha as PRE fb tembotrione 120 g/ha +S at 35 DAS (T13) (6380 and 6816 kg ha-1). No visual phyto-toxicity of any applied herbicide was observed in maize crop. All herbicide treatments employed in kharif maize, irrespective of their dose and application time did not show any residual carryover effect on succeeding wheat because of rapid microbial degradation of herbicides due to four flood irrigation applied to kharif maize and occurrence of 377.8 and 501.7 mm of rainfall between the time of application of herbicides and sowing of succeeding wheat crop.ThesisItem Open Access Response of barley to fertilizer levels and different combinations of biofertilizers(CCSHAU, 2018) Malik, Priti; Sewhag, MeenaThe present study entitled, “Response of barley to fertilizer levels and different combinations of biofertilizers” was conducted during the Rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the Agronomy research farm of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar .The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three fertilizer levels (50, 75 and 100 per cent RDF) in main plots and seven different combinations of biofertilizers (Uninoculated, seed inoculation with Azotobacter, Azospirillum, PSB, Biomix, Azotobacter+PSB and Azospirillum+PSB) in sub plots replicated thrice. Based on the research investigation it was found that significantly taller plants, higher dry matter production and Leaf area index were recorded with the application of 100 % RDF than lower fertilizer levels (50 and 75 % RDF). Increasing levels of fertilizer resulted in significant higher yield attributes (number of spikes per meter row length, more number of grains per spike and test weight) and yield (grain, straw and biological yield) of barley. However, plant population, harvest and attraction index, quality parameters (Proportion of thin and bold grains percentage and hectoliter weight), canopy temperature of barley and available nutrient status of soil (N, P and K) after the harvest of barley were statistically similar under all the fertilizer levels. While malt content of barley decreased significantly with increase in fertilizer levels during both the years of experimentation. Application of 100 % RDF recorded significantly higher protein content, NDVI value of barley, N content and N, P and K uptake in grain and straw, net returns, gross returns and benefit: cost ratio than the lower fertilizer levels (50 and 75 % RDF). Among different combinations of biofertilizers, seed inoculation with Biomix recorded significantly higher plant height, dry matter accumulation, LAI, all the yield attributes (number of spikes per meter row length, number of grains per spike and test weight), grain, straw, biological yield, protein content, N content in grain , P content in grain in the year 2015-16, N, P and K uptake in grain and straw, higher gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio of barley during both the years of experimentation . But harvest index, proportion of thin and bold grains percentage, hectoliter weight, malt content, canopy temperature, NDVI value of barley, P content in grain in 2016-17 and K content in grain and N, P and K content in straw and available N, P and K status of soil after the harvest of barley did not differ significantly due to seed inoculation with different combinations of biofertilizers during both the years of experimentation. Seed inoculation with Biomix in association with 75 % RDF was found to be significantly superior in terms of grain and straw yield of barley.ThesisItem Open Access Evaluation of tall wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for dual purpose under cutting, nitrogen and weed management practices(CCSHAU, 2018) Sangwan, Meenakshi; Jagdev SinghField experiment entitled “Evaluation of tall wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for dual purpose under cutting, nitrogen and weed management practices” was carried out at Research area of Department of Agronomy, CCS HAU Hisar (Haryana) during the Rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17. Study was divided into two field experiments and both were laid out in a RBD with 3 replications. In first experiment, 18 treatments viz. no cut with 60 and 75 kg/ha N applied at 1/2 at sowing + 1/2 at first irrigation (T1 and T2), cut at 5 and 10 cm stubble height with 60and 75 kg/ha N scheduled with four different ways i.e 1/2 at sowing + 1/2 at first irrigation, 1/2 at sowing + 1/2 after cut, 1/3 at sowing + 2/3 after cut and 1/3 at sowing + 1/3 at first irrigation + 1/3 after cut (T3 to T18) while in second experiment, 9 treatments viz. pendimethalin 1500 g/ha PRE alone (T1) and followed by (fb) POE application of pinoxaden 50 g/ha + metsulfuron 4 g/ha (T2), sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron (30+2) g/ha (T3) and clodinafop + metsulfuron (60+4) g/ha (T4) at 2 week after cutting (WAC), alone application of POE at 2 WAC (T5 to T7), weed free (T8) and weedy check (T9) were included. In experiment first, among cutting and nitrogen management treatments highest effective tillers, grain yield, net return and B: C ratio were observed under the treatment 75 kg N/ha applied at sowing1/3 + after cut2/3 with cut 55 DAS at 10 cm SH followed by 75 kg N/ha applied at sowing1/3 + after cut2/3 with cut 55 DAS at 5 cm SH and 60 kg N/ha applied at sowing1/3 + after cut2/3 with cut 55 DAS at 10 cm SH and both were statistically at par with each other and higher than rest of the treatments while no cut treatment resulted in significantly higher biological and straw yield as compared to all cutting treatments during both years of experimentation. No cut and cut treatments with 75 kg/ha N resulted in significantly higher grain yield as compared to 60 kg/ha N and significantly higher grain yield was produced under cut at 10 cm SH than cut at 5 cm SH. In second experiment, after cutting, total weed density and dry weight were significantly reduced under sequential application of pendimethalin 1500 g/ha PRE fb pinoxaden + metsulfuron (50+4) 2 WAC (week after cutting at 55 DAS), pendimethalin 1500 g/ha PRE fb sulfosulfuron+ metsulfuron (30+2) 2 WAC and pendimethalin 1500 g/ha PRE fb clodinafop + metsulfuron (60+4) 2 WAC, as compared to alone application of post emergence pinoxaden + metsulfuron (50+4) 2 WAC, sulfosulfuron+ metsulfuron (30+2) 2 WAC, clodinafop + metsulfuron (60+4) 2 WAC. Among herbicidal treatments, significantly higher biological, grain, straw yield and B: C ratio was observed under sequential application of herbicides which were significantly higher than weedy check and alone pre and post emergence application of herbicides during both the years of study.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on productivity and carbon sequestration under integrated nutrient management in pearlmillet-wheat cropping system(CCSHAU, 2018) Babli; Pawan KumarA field experiment entitled "Studies on productivity and Carbon Sequestration under integrated nutrient management in pearlmillet-wheat cropping system" was conducted during the year 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Agronomy Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India). The experiment consisting of twelve treatments was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. In pearlmillet crop, treatment T6 (50 % RD-NP + 50 % N through FYM in pearlmillet and 100 % RD-NPK in wheat) exhibited highest growth and yield contributing characters and was closely followed by T5. Highest grain yield of pearlmillet was recorded in treatment T6 where 50 % RD-NP + 50 % N through FYM in pearlmillet and 100 % RD-NP in wheat were applied. Grain, straw and biological yield of pearlmillet increased with progressive increase in plant nutrients through organic nutrient sources. Mean grain yield of pearlmillet was recorded highest in treatment T6 (3366 kg/ha). Among the chemical fertilizer treatments the grain, straw and biological yield increased with increasing dose of inorganic fertilizers. In pearlmillet-wheat cropping sequence microbial counts in pearlmillet were found higher in integrated nutrient management treatments as compared to inorganic fertilizer treatments. Higher carbon sustainability index was recorded in pearlmillet crop during both the years of the experiment as compared to wheat In wheat crop, treatment T6 recorded highest growth, yield contributing characters during both the years of the study. Similarly, highest grain, straw as well as biological yield was recorded in treatment T6 during first and second year. Mean grain yield was recorded highest in treatment T6 (5688 kg/ha), followed by treatment T5 which was significantly superior over rest of the treatments. Treatment T6 recorded highest protein content, protein yield, sedimentation value and hectolitre weight during both the years. Diazotrophs and phosphorus solublizing bacterial counts and establishment were observed highest in treatment T6 where 50 % N was supplemented through FYM. Organic carbon was reported maximum in integrated nutrient management treatments. Organic carbon maintains the soil fertility and microbial population. Mean maximum net returns were obtained in treatment T6 closely followed by T5 in pearl millet-wheat cropping sequence. Total carbon output and sustainability index were recorded maximum in wheat during both the years of the experiment.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on the biology of onionwead (Asphodelus Tenuifolius cav.) and its herbicidal control in chickpea(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1984) Sahai, Bhagwan; Khanna, S.
