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.

    Characterization and evaluation of wheat accessions for drought tolerance using morpho-physiological traits
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-08) Parul; Bishnoi, O.P
    The objectives of present investigation were to determine the genetic variability, estimation of association between grain yield and its component traits and among themselves to find out the correlation with morpho-physiological traits of 40 genotypes of wheat under drought and irrigated condition. Significant variability was observed among genotypes for all the traits under both conditions. Genotypes WH1127, DPW621-50 for grain yield while C306 and WH1164 for biological yield per plant were found promising under both environmental conditions. Grain yield per plant showed highly significant and positive correlation with biological yield per plant, harvest index, effective tillers per plant and 1000-grains weight. The path coefficient analysis revealed that harvest index showed highest direct and positive effect on grain yield per plant followed by biological yield per plant. Genotype IC529189 showed better expression for NDVI, C.T, SPAD under drought condition while under irrigated condition, maximum value for NDVI was shown by genotype IC529909 and for SPAD genotype IC529189. Based on SSI it was found that genotype EC609575, DT25, IC539518, IC529429 were more resistant to drought. Genotypes which resulted in the expression of higher grain yield would be selected.
