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.

    Evaluation of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum mill.) genotypes for growth, yield and quality traits
    (CCSHAU, 2018) Sunil Kumar; Bora, Lila
    The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) genotypes for growth, yield and quality traits” with twenty-two genotypes along with one standard check was conducted at Regional Research Station, Karnal and Laboratory of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during rabi season of 2016-2017. The observations were recorded on 21 qualitative and quantitative traits. The objective of present investigation was to determine the genetic variability, estimation of character association between yield and its component traits by correlation and path analysis to determine the direct and indirect effect on dependent variable. The analysis of variance exhibited significant genotypic differences, showing considerable amount of genetic variability among different genotypes. The moderate PCV (15.16), GCV (14.93) and high genetic advance (30.30%) and high heritability (97.04%), observed for yield of fruits per hectare (q) was showing further scope of selection. Genotypes PNR-7, H-86, NT-8, Castle Rock, DVRT-2, DVRT-6, DVRT-8 and Punjab Upma were found promising for both yield and quality traits while genotypes P.H.S, Punjab Kesari, Punjab Upma and DVRT-3 were most promising for quality traits only. Yield of fruits per hectare (q) showed highly significantly and positive genotypic correlation with days to 50% flowering, days to first picking, days to last picking, polar diameter, equatorial diameter, pericarp thickness, weight of marketable fruits per plant, yield of fruits per plant and fruit firmness. The path coefficients analysis revealed that total number of fruits per plant, days to last picking and weight of marketable fruits per plant are most promising traits which influences yield directly as well as indirectly. Hierarchical cluster analysis indicated that crosses between the members of cluster separated by high inter cluster distances, are expected to produce desirable transgressive segregants.

    Characterization of okra genotypes
    (CCSHAU, 2013) Sunil Kumar; Dhankhar, S.K.
    The present study entitled “Characterization of okra genotypes was carried out at the Research farm of Department of Vegetable Science, CCS HAU, Hisar during spring summer season of the year 2012 on the basis of morphological descriptors with the objective to identify key diagnostic characters of the genotypes. Observations were recorded for 37 morphological and six seed characters. Analysis of variance studies indicated significant differences among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. Highest mean fruit yield per plant was recorded for the genotype Hisar Naveen. Serration of leaf blade margin, vein colour, intensity of colour between vein, depth of lobing and petal base colour distinguished all the 20 genotypes by assigning them key diagnostic features that would certainly help the plant breeders, to use these diagnostic characters for trait specific use in breeding programme. Seed characters like Seed size, seed colour, seed shape and seed hairiness were also found key characters to differentiate the okra genotypes and will be helpful for seed agencies and in seed testing laboratories. The genotypes were also categorized on the basis of colour between veins, stem colour, number of nodes at first flowering, stem diameter (cm), plant height(cm), number of branches per plant, days to first flowering, petal colour, flower length (cm), fruit colour, fruit pubescence, shape of fruit apex, length of fruit (cm), fruit diameter (cm).
