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.

    Studies on the effect of chemicals on buddability and budding success in rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush) seedling
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Gaurav Kant; Dalal, R.P.S.
    The present investigation entitled “Studies on the effect of chemicals on buddability and budding success in rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush) seedling” was conducted in Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2016-17. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with thirteen treatments and three replication comprising foliar application of T1 (GA3 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T2 (GA3 50 ppm + Urea 1%), T3 (GA3 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T4 (GA3 100 ppm + Urea 1 %), T5 (NAA 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T6 (NAA 50 ppm + Urea 1%), T7 (NAA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T8 (NAA 100 ppm + Urea 1%), T9 (ABA 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T10 (ABA 50 ppm + Urea 1% ), T11 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%), T12 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 1%) and T13 (Control, Water spray) twice after 30 and 60 days after transplanting on the same seedlings. Growth parameters like seedling height (73.52 cm), number of leaves (82.19), fresh weight (104.91 g), dry weight (33.18 g), leaf area (965,70 cm2), shoot dry weight (25.53 g), root fresh weight (16.83 g), root dry weight (7.65 g), root volume (14.57 ml) were found maximum in treatment T4 (GA3 100 ppm + Urea 1%) whereas, maximum number of secondary (43.00) and tertiary roots (87.67) was observed in treatment T8 (NAA 100 ppm + Urea 1%), maximum root diameter (12.93 mm) was observed in treatment T11 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%). At 180 days after transplanting, maximum number of buddable seedling (95.24 %) was recorded in T11 (ABA 100ppm + Urea 0.5%) and T12 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 1%) closely followed by (90.48 %) in T9 (ABA 50 ppm + Urea 0.5%) and T10 (ABA 50 ppm + Urea 1%). Maximum budding success (75.24 %) was found in the treatment T4 (GA3100 ppm +Urea 1%) closely followed by (67.50 %) in T12 (ABA 100ppm + Urea 1%). Maximum nitrogen (1.12 %) and potassium content (1.11 %) was estimated in the treatment T4 (GA3100 ppm + Urea 1%). On the basis of the findings of the present study it is clear that the growth of rough lemon seedlings was accelerated by the application of GA3 (100 ppm + urea 1%) and maximum and earlier buddable seedlings (95.24 %) was obtained in treatment T11 (ABA 100 ppm + Urea 0.5%).
