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.

    Maximization of seed yield and quality in cowpea {Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp}
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University hisar, 2022-11) Digamber; Jakhar, S. S
    Seed quality is a vital factor in the crop establishment and overall performance of the crop. Cowpea is a crop which is used both as feed and fodder in India. The non-availability of quality seeds of improved varieties is a crucial factor in popularization of fodder crop. Availability of viable and vigorous seed at the planting time is important for achieving targets of agricultural production because good quality seeds act as a catalyst for exhausting the potential of other inputs. Keeping in view the seed quality, investigation was carried out in the laboratory and research farm of Department of Seed Science and Technology, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during year 2019 and 2021. The cowpea variety CS-88 was used for the experiment. The seeds were treated before sowing with three different fungicides i.e. captan, vitavax and bavistin. Three different sowings were done on 30thMarch, 30thMay and 30thJune in order to study the effects of sowing dates.Crop was sprayed with three different nutritional sprays at different growth phases i.e. NPK (18:18:18), NPK (17:44:0) - Urea phosphate and NPK (0:0:50) - SOP Sulphate of potash to study the effecton seed yield and quality. The dates of sowing, seed treatments and foliar sprays have significant effect on seed yield and quality of cowpea. The maximum seed yield (7.81& 7.71 q/ha) with better seed quality was found in 30thMay sown crop followed by (6.99& 6.81 q/ha) 30thMarch sown crop. Lowest seed yield (6.69& 6.63 q/ha) along with poor seed quality was obtained in 30thJune sown crop during the year 2019 and 2021 respectively.The seeds treated with captan provided the maximum (7.76 & 7.69 q/ha) seed yield. The crop can be sprayed with NPK (18:18:18)at vegetative stage to get the higher yield.
