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 foliar application of nutrients and organic formulations on growth, yield and quality of Apple cv. Anna under Haryana condition
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-02) Mohan Lal Jat; Rana, G. S.
    The present investigation was carried out at Horticulture Farm (PFDC), Department of Horticulture, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar Haryana during the year 2020-21 and 2021-22. To evaluate the effect of foliar application of nutrients and organic formulations on growth, yield and quality of Apple cv. Anna under Haryana condition. Altogether, there were eighteen treatments replicated three times in Randomized Block Design. The foliar sprays of nutrients and organic formulations significantly influenced on growth, flowering, yield and physicochemical characteristics of the fruits. The treatments also affected the leaf's nutrient status. Among the various treatments used; T12 (2.0% Urea (N) + 15% cow urine) was found superior for the growth characteristics of plants viz., plant height, plant spread and leaf surface area and trunk girth did not significantly effective. However, the number of days taken flowering, the maximum number of flowers, the number of flowers per metre square, the number of flowers per 30 spurs, number of flowers per 30 lateral buds, flower stalk length, duration of flowering and duration of flowering to harvest, fruit set, fruit drop, yield attributes viz., fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit volume, number of fruits per tree and yield per tree were influenced by treatment T6 (400 ppm Boron + 4% Humic acid). The quality parameters in terms of TSS, titratable acidity, total sugar, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, phenol, anthocyanin and starch index also improved by T6 (400 ppm Boron + 4% Humic acid). The nitrogen content of the leaf was increased with 2% Urea (N) + 15% cow urine (T12). Phosphorus and potassium content was not significantly affected by various treatments. Zinc and boron content of leaves is influenced by 600 ppm Zinc + 4% Humic acid, and 400 ppm Boron + 4% Humic acid (T6) respectively.

    Response of time of planting on growth, flowering, spike yield and essential oils in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) genotypes
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-03) Manpreet Kaur; Beniwal, B.S.
    The present experiment “Response of time of planting on growth, flowering, spike yield and essential oils of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) genotypes” was conducted at Experimental farm of Department of Horticulture and Centre for Bio-Nanotechnology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2019-20 and 2020-21. During the year 2019-20 crop was taken as fresh, while during 2020-21 all the observations were recorded on ratoon crop. Two individual experiments were laid out. In first experiment three time of planting (March, April & May) and six genotypes (Pearl Double, Hyderabad Double, Mexican Single, Prajwal, Suvasini & Vaibhav) were taken, while in second experiment two harvesting stage of florets (Bud burst stage & Fullbloom stage), three planting time and six genotypes were selected. Both the experiments were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The observations were recorded on various growth, flowerings and bulb 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 in Mexican Single followed by Prajwal when planted in March, while in second experiment highest absolute was recovered from May planted Prajwal genotype when harvested at bud-burst stage during both the years.

    Adoption status of rose cultivation technology in Haryana
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University hisar, 2022-10-11) Bhupender Singh; Dahiya, D.S.
    A survey based study was conducted during 2017 in the Department of Horticulture - Floriculture and Landscape Architecture on rose cultivation in Haryana with the objectives to assess the farmers’ knowledge and adoption level of cultivation technology, to ascertain pre-and post-harvest problems encountered by farmers in rose cultivation, to study the prospects of rose cultivation in the state and to ascertain the association between socio-personal attributes of rose farmers and knowledge and adoption of rose cultivation technology. Two districts namely, Sonepat and Hisar were selected for the study. There were 124 respondents in 15 villages. The study revealed that there was significant association observed in the knowledge level and education as the Pearson chi square coefficient χ2 =179.07 with degree of freedom of 119, at a significance of 0.0003. Education has the only the significant association with the adoption levels. The rose cultivation resulted into a gross returns of Rs. 3,07,857.10/- per ha in Hisar while the gross returns were 3,03,327.9/- per ha. The variable cost is very important aspect for continuous cultivation of a crop by the farmers. In the present study, it was quite impressive and farmers in both the district might continue to do the rose cultivation. The benefit cost ratio was recorded higher in district Sonipat (1.34) while it was recorded lower in district Hisar (1.29). It suggested that the nearness to the NCR region resulted into demand of rose cultivation and the demand leads to better prices.
