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.

    Effect of pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and seedling performance of Malabar Neem (Melia dubia Cav.)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-09) Ajay; Arya, Sandeep
    The present investigation entitled “Effect of pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and seedling performance of Malabar Neem (Melia dubia Cav.)” was conducted at Seed Science and Technology department and Nursery of forestry department, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2019-20. The experiment was carried out to study the effect of pre-sowing treatment on seed germination and growth performance of Melia dubia in various growing media. Experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with four replications at laboratory and three replications at nursery, respectively. Based on the research investigation, it was found that pre-sowing treatment and growing media had significantly influenced the germination and growth performance of Melia dubia. Among pre-sowing treatment on fruit showed maximum germination per cent (32.46%), viability (45.71%) and growth performance such as shoot length (15.52 cm), root length (6.78 cm), seedling dry weight (0.623 g) in cow dung for seven days which was significantly higher in all pre-treatments and on seeds maximum germination per cent (29.18%), viability (41.68%) and growth parameters was recoded in GA3 @ 100 ppm for 24 hours which was statistically at par with GA3 @ 200 ppm for 24 hours in shoot length, root length and seedling dry weight. In experiment 2, the seed treatment with different growing media, showed maximum seedling growth performance in cow dung treated fruits with sowing in cocopeat: vermiculite: vermicompost (3:1:1) that was statistically at par with cocopeat: perlite: vermiculite (3:1:1). Whereas, control (without treatment) in kernels, conc. H2SO4 for 5 minutes on fruits and sandy soil as a control in growing media showed minimum germination and growth performance.
