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.

    Detection of insect infestation level in wheat by using sensors
    (CCSHAU, 2019) Patel, Rihan Mainuddin; Garg, M.K.
    A study was undertaken to develop an appropriate mathematical model for prediction of infestation level in stored wheat. Three different moisture content levels of 10, 12 and 14% were used for each treatment with insect density of 0, 10 and 20 insects/kg for an interval of two months storage. The quality of stored wheat was compared based on qualitative analysis of stored wheat i.e. moisture content, thousand kernel weight, germination percentage, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-1, vigour index-2, sedimentation value, wet gluten and dry gluten of all treatments. The results were compared on the basis of moisture content, insect density and storage duration. The changes in quality parameters with respect to storage duration showed significant difference among thousand kernel weight, germination percentage seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-2, wet gluten and sedimentation value whereas changes in vigour index-1 dry gluten, thousand kernel weight were insignificant. The changes in moisture content showed significant difference in thousand kernel weight, seedling dry weight, vigour index-1, vigour index-2, wet gluten, dry gluten and sedimentation value whereas the germination percentage and seedling length remained almost constant. The effect of insect density on quality parameters showed some insignificant changes intermsof moisture content, thousand kernel weight, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-1, vigour index-2 and dry gluten whereas the germination percentage, wet gluten and sedimentation value remained almost constant. The temperature based regression model gave maximum value of coefficient of determination (R2), which was 80.03% while the temperature based ANN model gave maximum value of coefficient of correlation, which was 59.02%. The RH based model was best fitted and was used for the prediction of infestation level in stored wheat.
