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.

A set of five optimal and supra-optimal media of each substrate was selected on the basis of growth parameters particularly the growth and sporulation (conidial yield). Potentiality of conidia harvested from each select medium was tested against the sugarcane stalk borer Chilo auricilius Ddgn larvae. The results of the studies indicated that cultivation of fungus on aqueous molasses, a sugar industry byproduct, after addition of aqueous yeast was feasible. Among the molasses-yeast liquid media fungus cultivated on 4.0 per cent molasses + 1.5 per cent yeast yielded highest conidial density (70.3 x 107 conidia ml-1) and biomass (24.0 g). Conidia harvested from this medium inflicted highest mortality of C. auricilius larvae (90.5 per cent) in shortest time interval (7.4 days). Conidia produced on all molasses-yeast select media were larger in size than in remaining media, were more oblong than oval shaped and looked like early stage blastospores. Incorporating molasses and yeast in various concentrations and combinations to solid substrates mainly the bagasse, press-mud and cane trash increased sporulation heavily. Bagasse amended with 4.0 per cent molasses + 1.5 per cent yeast and 3.0 per cent molasses + 1.0 per cent yeast emerged as the best media for mass production of B. bassiana both in terms of conidial density (833.4 and 144.1 x 107 conidial ml-1, respectively) and potentiality to C. auricilius (87.8 and 88.0 per cent mortality, respectively). Fungus sporulated heavily on press-mud based medium containing 3.0 per cent molasses (1310.3 to 1090 x 107 conidia ml-1) while the yeast concentration did not much affect the sporulation pattern. A lower to moderate level of larval mortality (33.3 to 64.8 per cent) was inflicted by conidia grown on select media of press-mud in 8.4 to 9.1 days. Though fungus yielded good conidial load on press-mud based media after addition of exogenous carbon (molasses) and nitrogen (yeast) sources but these media were found inadequate (suboptimal) in terms of potentiality of fungus against test insect and hence may not be suitable for the mass cultivation of fungus. A two stage cultivation process seems feasible for cultivation of B. bassiana on molasses-yeast liquid media and bagasse based solid media. Based on conidial yield, potentiality, time taken to sporulate and cost of production of the fungus bagasse amended with 4.0 per cent molasses and 1.5 per cent yeast may be used as medium for mass culturing while 4.0 per cent molasses and 1.5 per cent yeast broth 1:1 (v/v) as inoculant for culturing of B. bassiana.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of insecticides on some parasitoids of insect pests of sugarcane(CCSHAU, 2005) Malakari Baladandi; Kaushik, H.D.Studies on the effect of 6 insecticides on the mortality, parasitization and adult emergence of sugarcane bioagents viz., Trichogramma chilonis Ishii, Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead, Ooencyrtus papilionis Ashmead and Epiricania melanoleuca Fletcher using Corcyra cephalonica Stnt. and Pyrilla perpusilla, respectively as host were carried out at 27±2oC temperature and 75-80 per cent relative humidity in the Central Biological Control Laboratory, Sonipat with assistance of Department of Entomology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Dimethoate (56.66%) and monocrotophos (63.33%) recorded lowest per cent adult mortality of T.chilonis, hence they are relatively safe and are harmful when applied immediately after spraying. No insecticide is safer to T.japonicum at initial toxicity hence, all found harmful to use. Chlorpyriphos and monocrotophos gave 100 per cent mortality followed by endosulfan and profenphos (93.33%) so regarded as highly toxic to O.papilionis. There was 100 per cent mortality of E.melanoleuca when treated with chlorpyriphos and profenphos. Endosulfan, dimethoate, monocrotophos and oxy-demetan methyl treated eggs yielded high parasitization and are rated as comparatively safe insecticides and chlorpyriphos and profenphos severely inhibited the parasitization. The eggs treated with oxy-demetan methyl gave maximum adult emergence followed by dimethoate and monocrotophos where as endosulfan, chlorpyriphos and profenphos recorded very less per cent adult emergence. Based upon the residual toxicity to the parasitoids, dimethoate and oxydemeton methyl were considered as slightly persistent and endosulfan, chlorpyriphos, monocrotophos, profenphos were considered as moderately persistent with respect to adult mortality, parasitization and adult emergence as per IOBC guidelines. Chlorpyriphos and profenophos gave 13.33 and 23.33 per cent pupation and 40.0 and 30.0 per cent moth emergence found harmful at recommended doses of insecticides whereas in sublethal doses of insecticides, all found relatively safer to Epiricania melanoleuca.
