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.

    Effect of nutrient, bulb size, spacing and planting method on flowering and yield of tuberose(Polianthes tuberosa L.)
    (CCSHAU, 2018) Nain, Sheena; Beniwal, B.S.
    The present investigation “Effect of nutrient, bulb size, spacing and planting method on flowering and yield of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.)” cv. Prajwal was carried out at Experiment farm of Department of Horticulture during the year 2016-17 and at Botanical garden of Department of Plant Physiology, CCSHAU, Hisar during 2017-18. Two individual experiments were laid out. In first experiment, four levels of nitrogen (0, 10, 15, & 20 g/m2) and three levels of phosphorus (0, 5 and 10 g/m2 ) were applied, while in second experiment three bulb size (0.5-1.5, 1.5-2.5 and 2.5-3.5 cm), two levels of spacing (20×20 and 30×30 cm) and two planting method (flat bed and ridge) were applied. Both the experiments were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The observations were recorded on various growth, flowering and yield parameters. The Statistical analysis of data of first experiment revealed that better results in terms of growth, flowering, spike yield and bulb yield of tuberose were found when nitrogen @ 20g/m2 with phosphorus @ 10g/m2 was applied. In second experiment, large bulb size of diameter (2.5-3.5 cm) at wider spacing (30x30 cm) on ridge planting showed better results in terms of growth and flowering in tuberose, while large bulb size of diameter (2.5-3.5 cm) at closer spacing (20x20 cm) on ridge showed the better results in terms of plant height, spike per plot, spike per hectare and bulb yield during both the years of study.

    Effect of nutrients, pinching and spacing on growth, flowering and yield of African marigold
    (CCSHAU, 2014) Nain, Sheena; Beniwal, B.S.
    The present investigation was carried out during 2013-14 with a view to standardize the optimum dose of nitrogen and phosphorus, pinching and different spacing with regard to growth, flowering and yield in African marigold. To achieve these objectives two independent experiments were laid out. In experiment 1, nutrient requirement of African marigold was studied with five levels of nitrogen (0, 15, 20, 25 and 30 g/m2) and four levels of phosphorus (0, 15, 20 and 25 g/m2) in all possible combinations. Maximum growth in terms of plant height, plant spread, number of branches per plant, fresh and dry weight of plant was observed at 30 g nitrogen with 25 g phosphorus/m2. Various flowering parameters viz. number of buds per plant, number of flowers per plant, days to 50 % flowering, duration of flowering, flower diameter and stalk length and flower yield parameters viz. flowers yield per plant and yield per ha were obtained maximum at 30 g nitrogen with 25 g phosphorus/m2. In pinching experiment the plants were without pinching and pinched 28 days after transplanting (DAT). Pinching the plants at 28 DAT significantly increased the number of branches, plant spread, fresh and dry weight of the plant, number of buds per plant, duration of flowering, number of flowers per plant, stalk length, and flower yield per plant and flower yield per hectare and decreased plant height, diameter of flower, fresh and dry weight of the flower and delayed bud initiation, days to flowering, days to 50 % flowering. The effect of spacing at three levels 40 x 40 cm, 40 x 30cm, 30 x 30cm were also studied and observed maximum plant spread, number of branches, fresh and dry weight, days to bud initiation , days to flowering, number of buds/planr, number of flowers/plant, duration of flowering, diameter of flower, fresh and dry weight of flower, flower yield/ plant in 40 x 40cm whereas maximum plant height, days to 50% flowering, stalk length, flower yield/ha were observed in 30 x30cm.
