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.

    Interaction of Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) with native rhizospheric and inoculated microflora
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Seema; Gera, Rajesh
    In the present study, effect of Bt cotton was studied on native and inoculated microorganisms in the rhizospheric soil under pot house as well as field conditions. Marginal increase in native microbial population of non-Bt cotton compared to Bt cotton after 45 DAS of sowing was observed in two different varieties RCH134 and MRC6301 tested. However, after 90 days of sowing there was decrease in microbial population and it was almost similar both in the Bt and non-Bt cotton rhizosphere. The inoculation of Azotobacter (A-2), Azospirillum (J-11-12) and PSB (BPL-2) increased the rate of seed germination both in Bt as well as non-Bt cotton in the variety RCH 134. However, the effect was more pronounced in non-Bt cotton as compared to Bt cotton. Supplementation of root exudates of Bt and non-Bt cotton at a -iiconcentration of 0, 2 or 4% in Jensen, malate and Pikovaskaya media resulted in increase in growth rate of A-2, J-11-12 and BPL-2 as compared to control. Genetically marked strains of Azotobacter (A-2), Azospirillum (J-11-12) and phosphate solubilizing bacterium (BPL-2) established better in the rhizosphere of non-Bt cotton, var. RCH134 under pot house conditions and their population was ten times higher after 30 days of sowing. Increase in plant height, plant biomass, N and P-uptake due to inoculation was observed at recommended dose of fertilizers both in Bt as well as in non-Bt cotton.
