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.

    Effect of micronutrients on biochemical constituents in clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) seedlings infected with Rhizoctonia species
    (CCSHAU, 2011) Wadhwa, Neha; Joshi, U.N.
    The present investigation had been done to study the effect of micronutrients (Zn, Cu and Mn) on biochemical constituents in clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) seedlings infected with Rhizoctonia species. The seedlings were grown under eleven different micronutrient treatments, in earthen pots, filled with inoculated soil. The inoculated soil was prepared by the pretreatment of soil with 250mg (wet weight) of Rhizoctonia inoculum. Similar set was maintained in uninoculated soil. Morphological parameters like fresh and dry weight of shoot and root, shoot and root length decreased with infection but increased with micronutrient treatments. Chlorophyll, non-structural carbohydrate and IVDMD content decreased in inoculated seedlings as compared to uninoculated one. Oxidative enzymatic activities (PPO, POX, PAL and TAL), crude protein content, phenolic content and structural carbohydrates (ADF, Cellulose, Lignin and Silica) increased in inoculated seedlings and this increase was further heightened by micronutrient treatments, to counteract the fungal invasion. On the basis of present study, it was concluded that Zn2+ 20ppm

On the basis of present study, it was concluded that Zn2+ 20ppm treatment may be used as soil-nutritive agent to provide resistance in plants against fungal diseases.
