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.

    Storage behavior of guava cultivars
    (CCSHAU, 2019) Gavri, Ankit; Sharma, Jeet Ram
    The present investigation entitled “Storage behavior of guava cultivars” was carried out at PG lab of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during rainy and winter season of 2018.The study material comprised of 15 guava varieties which were evaluated for their storage behavior at ambient conditions in completely randomized design. The varieties were taken from Guava demonstration Centre, Bhuna (Fatehabad). They were evaluated on the basis of several physiological paramaters, biochemical parameters and organoleptic ratings. It was observed that there was decrease in moisture content, firmness, ascorbic acid, acidity and pectin content, with the advancement of storage period, during both the seasons, irrespective of cultivars. On the other hand, specific gravity, TSS and TSS: acid ratio was found to be increased with passage of storage time, regardless of cultivars during both the seasons. Among varieties, Hisar Safeda exhibited minimum loss in weight, decay loss and moisture content maximum organoleptic ratings in both the seasons and maximum reducing sugar, specific gravity and firmness in rainy season and also had highest TSS: acid ratio in winter season, while, in rainy season TSS: acid was found maximum in Arka Mridula. Firmness, total sugar, specific gravity and reducing sugar in winter season and TSS in rainy season were recorded maximum in cv. Pant Parbhat. Pectin content during both the seasons and ascorbic acid, total sugar and non-reducing sugar in rainy season was recorded maximum in cv. L-49. Barf Khana had the maximum ascorbic acid in winter season and acidity found minimum in Arka Mridula and Allahabad Safeda in rainy and winter season respectively. It was also observed thatwinter season fruits of all the varieties are much more superior to rainy season fruits.
