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.

    Interactions of phosphorus with sulphur and nickel in maize (Zea mays)
    (CCSHAU, 2007) May May Khin; Mohinder Singh
    A pot culture experiment in screen house was conducted with four levels each of P and S i.e., 0, 30, 60 and 90 mg kg-1 soil to study the interaction of P and S in maize (cv HQPM 1). The dry matter yield of maize significantly increased with 60 mg P kg-1 soil and 30mg S kg-1 soil application. P x S interaction was synergistic at their lower levels and antagonistic at their higher levels on dry matter yield of maize. Concentration and uptake of P significantly increased with the application of P and S. The highest concentration was recorded with the combined application of 90 mg P kg-1 soil and 30 mg S kg-1 soil, whereas, the highest P uptake was observed with combined application of 60 mg P kg-1 and 30mg S kg-1 soil. Concentration and uptake of S significantly increased at 30mg P kg-1 and 60 mg P kg-1 soil, respectively. The concentrations of Ni, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu significantly decreased with increasing levels of applied P and S, whereas, their uptake increased significantly upto 60mg P kg-1 soil and 30 mg S kg-1 soil. Another pot culture experiment in screen house was conducted with four levels each of P and Ni i.e. 0, 30, 60 and 90 mg P kg-1 soil to study the interaction of P and Ni in maize (cv HQPM 1). The dry matter yield of maize significantly increased with all levels of applied P and 30 mg Ni kg-1 soil application. P x Ni interaction was significant in dry matter yield of maize. The adverse effect of Ni on dry matter yield was considerably ameliorated with the higher doses of P application. Higher application of P significantly increased the P concentration and uptake but decreased the S and Ni concentration in maize. Higher application of Ni significantly increased the Ni concentration and uptake but decreased the P and S concentration and uptake. The concentrations of Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu significantly decreased with the increasing levels of applied P and Ni, whereas, their uptake increased significantly upto 60 mg P kg-1 soil and at 30mg Ni kg-1 soil. Another pot culture experiment in screen house was also conducted with four levels of each of S and Ni i.e. 0, 30, 60 and 90 mg kg-1 soil to study the interaction of S and Ni in maize (cv HQPM 1). The dry matter yield of maize significantly increased at 30 mg S kg-1 soil and 30 mg Ni kg-1 soil only. The concentration and uptake of S significantly increased with increasing levels of S but it significantly decreased with increasing levels of Ni. The concentration of P significantly increased at 30 mg S kg-1 and decreased with increasing levels of Ni. The concentrations of Ni significantly decreased with increasing levels of S but its uptake significantly increased at 30 mg S kg-1 soil. The concentrations of Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn significantly decreased with increasing levels of applied S and Ni, whereas, their uptake increased significantly at 30 mg S kg-1 soil and 30 mg Ni kg-1 soil. The successive application of P, S and Ni significantly increased available P, available S and DTPA extractable Ni, respectively, in post harvest soil samples. The application of P significantly decreased available S and DTPA extractable Ni in post harvest soil samples. The application of S significantly decreased the available P and DTPA extractable Ni, whereas, application of Ni significantly decreased the available P and S in post harvest soil samples.

    Characterization of ground water quality of mundlana and kathura blocks of Sonepat district of Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2007) Pardeep; Sharma, Ramesh
    Present study entitled, “Characterization of ground water quality of Mundlana and Kathura blocks of Sonepat district of Haryana”, to study the ground water quality for irrigation and its effect on physico-chemical properties of soils in respective blocks, was undertaken. For this purpose, randomly 221 and 149 tube-well water samples from Mundlana and Kathura blocks respectively were collected. On the basis of water analysis, soil samples from ten sites irrigated with different quality waters were collected from Mundlana and Kathura block, respectively and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties. EC, SAR and RSC in irrigation waters of Mundlana varied from 0.34- 22.32 (dS m-1), 0.24-28.18 (mM L-1)½ and nil-9.10 (me L-1), respectively. Likewise corresponding values of ground water for Kathura block varied from 0.48-12.13 dS m-1, 0.22-31.14 (mM L-1)½ and nil-14.40 me L-1, respectively. Cations 1 followed the order: Na+ > Mg+2 > Ca+2 > K+ in both the blocks while anions were SO4 -2 > Cl- > HCO3 - >CO3 -2 up to EC 6.0 dS m-1 and thereafter the trend was Cl- >SO4 -2 >HCO3 - >CO3 -2 in Mundlana block where as in Kathura block HCO3 - was dominant anion up to EC 2.0 dS m-1 thereafter SO4 -2 was dominant from 2-5 dS m-1 and Cl- was dominant in upper EC classes followed by SO4 -2, HCO3 - and CO3 -2. As per Manchanda (1976) classification, 24.0, 26.0, 8.0, 18.0 and 24.0 per cent waters of Mundlana block were classified under good, marginal, saline, sodic and saline-sodic categories, respectively. Likewise, in Kathura block, 30.0, 15.0, 7.0, 29.0 and 19.0 per cent waters were found good, marginal, marginally saline, saline, sodic and saline-sodic, respectively. As per AICRP (1989) classification, 24.0, 26.0, 8.0, 24.0, and 18.0 per cent waters of Mundlana block were classified under good, marginally saline, saline, high SAR saline, and highly alkali categories, respectively. Likewise 28.0, 15.0, 7.0, 19.0, 1.0 and 30.0 per cent waters were found in good, marginally saline, saline, high SAR-saline and highly alkali categories, respectively in Kathura block. The use of poor quality water resulted salt accumulation in both the surface (0-15 cm) and sub surface (15-30 cm) layers. Mostly highest ECe and SARe were observed in the upper layer (0-15 cm) of soil in both blocks. In Mundlana, out of 221 samples, 7.7 per cent samples had nitrate and 7.2 per cent samples had fluoride beyond permissible limits. For Kathura block, these values were 7.4 and 8.0 per cent, respectively.
