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 foliar application of urea and micronutrients on garlic seed production
    (CCSHAU, 2015) Pooja Rani; Panghal, V.P.S.
    A field experiment comprising four levels of urea (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) and four micronutrients [ZnSO4, MnSO4, FeSO4 (0.5%) and CuSO4 (0.2%)] was conducting at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Rabi season of 2014-15. Urea and micronutrients along with sticker were sprayed at 30, 45 and 60 days after planting. The total seventeen treatment combinations including control were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The cloves were planted at a spacing of 15x10 cm in a plot size of 3.0x3.0 m. The obtained results clearly indicate that applying medium rate of nitrogen fertilizer (1.5% urea) in combination with zinc sulphate significantly increased the plant growth, yield and quality traits in garlic as compared to the lowest rate of fertilization. The foliar spaying of 0.5% zinc sulphate in combination with 1.5% urea for three times in 15 days interval gave the superior results pertaining to all measured parameters than other treatments. The maximum plant height (36.38 and 53.80 cm) at 60 and 90 days after planting, number of leaves per plant (10.12), leaf length (28.17 cm), polar and equatorial diameter (5.24 and 4.86 cm), number of cloves per bulb (37.17), length of clove (25.05 cm), average weight of shoot per plant (15.60 g), average weight of clove (0.95 g), bulb weight (28.80 g), total plant biomass (44.40 g), total bulb yield (155.51 q/ha), total soluble solids (36.01) and dry matter content of leaf and clove (45.18 and 48.00%) was recorded with foliar application of 0.5% zinc sulphate in combination with 1.5% urea. From the study, it is suggested that the garlic crop fertilized with 1.5% urea in combination with 0.5% zinc sulphate gave the best results were obtained.
