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.

    Effect of seed treatment on seed quality of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) during storage
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-07-20) Aman; Puneeth Raj M.S.
    The present study entitled ―Effect of seed treatments on seed quality of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) during storage‖ was carried out at laboratory of Department of Seed Science and Technology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The seeds of quinoa (Cv. Himshakti) were treated with imidacloprid, thiram, vitavax and polymer along with their combinations and were stored for 10 months. Secondly seeds were primed with water, cobalt chloride, potassium nitrate, calcium chloride and GA3 at 25℃ for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h after 10th month of storage period. All the treatments were evaluated for seed quality parameters viz. seed moisture content (%), speed of germination, germination (%), seedling length (cm), radicle emergence, seedling dry weight (mg), vigour index I & II. Results revealed that seeds treated with Imidacloprid + Vitavax (Thiram + Carboxin) + Polymer were found significantly higher in seed quality parameters followed by Vitavax (Thiram + Carboxin) + Polymer and least was found in control. Seeds stored in polythene bags showed better seed quality than seeds stored in cloth bags. Quinoa seeds primed with GA₃ at 25℃ for 24 h were found significantly higher seed quality parameters compared to other treatments.
