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.

    Genetic divergence analysis in indian mustard (brassica juncea (l.)czern & coss) germplasm
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Goyat, Binesh; Dhiraj Singh
    Two hundred germplasm lines were evaluated for genetic divergence. The experiment was laid in augmented design. The highest intra cluster D2 values was observed for cluster 3, with euclidean distance (4.23). The inter cluster distance have been found to be highest between cluster 1 and 6 euclidean distance (5.546). The cluster mean values were observed maximum in cluster 6 for no. of primary branches per plant, main shoot length, no. of siliqua on main shoot and oil content. Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficient of variation revealed substantial genetic diversity in the material. High heritability was observed for no. of seeds per siliqua and main shoot length. Genetic advance as per cent means were high for seed yield, no. of primary branches and no. of secondary branches per plant. Seed yield per plant showed positive significant correlation for no. of primary branches, no. of secondary branches, siliqua on main shoot. No. of secondary branches showed maximum positive direct effect for seed yield. Promising germplasm lines based upon different quantitative characters where identified. The use of such identified lines is advocated for developing superior genotypes/hybrids.
