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.

ThesisItem Open Access “Effect of drip irrigation frequency on onion yield and water productivity(CCSHAU, 2019) Mehla, Mukesh Kumar; Jhorar, R.K.This study was conducted to study the effect of lateral spacing (45 cm and 60 cm) and drip irrigation frequencies (One, Two, Three and Four days) on onion crop (Allium Cepa L.) during kharif season 2018 in micro plots (2 m x 2 m) constructed in lab area of Department of Soil and Water Engineering, COAE&T, CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana, India. At 90 DAT, in one day irrigation interval with 45 cm lateral spacing, available moisture depth (11.6 cm) in the root zone (0-60 cm) at the middle of two lateral was observed higher (9.4 %) than with 60 cm lateral spacing where available moisture was 10.6 cm. Weight of bulbs per square meter in different grades was recorded highest in treatment four days irrigation frequency with 60 cm lateral spacing (0.665 kg/m2) for grade A (>5 cm), two days irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing (0.608 kg/m2) for grade B (4-5 cm), one day irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing (0.397 kg/m2) for grade C (3-4 cm) and in four days irrigation frequency with 60 cm lateral spacing (0.161 kg/m2) for grade D (<3 cm). Highest marketable yield was obtained in two days irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing (161.7 q/ha) and least in four days irrigation frequency with 60 cm lateral spacing (119.7 q/ha). Lowest unmarketable yield was observed in two days irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing (7.7 q/ha) and highest in four days irrigation frequency with 60 cm lateral spacing (16.1 q/ha).Total bulb yield was highest in two days irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing (169.4 q/ha) and lowest in four days irrigation frequency with 60 cm lateral spacing (135.8 q/ha). Water productivity was found highest in two days irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing (10.1 kg/m3) and lowest in four days irrigation frequency with 60 cm lateral spacing (8.1 kg/m3) treatment. For sandy loam soil, two days irrigation frequency with 45 cm lateral spacing treatment was observed the most preferable treatment under the given conditions.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of frequency and dose of nitrogen fertigation on chilli crop under drip irrigation(CCSHAU, 2019) Makkar, Rahul; Jhorar, R.K.This experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen fertigation frequency on chilli crop with different dose of nitrogen application under drip irrigation using good quality water. Experiment was carried out in micro plots (2m x 2m) constructed in lab area of Department of Soil and Water Engineering, COEA&T, CCSHAU, Hissar, Haryana, India. Two fertigation frequency, weekly (F1) and fortnightly (F2) with combination of three doses of nitrogen application (N1: 75% RDN, N2: 100% RDN and N3: 125% RDN) and surface irrigation (SF1 and SF2) with 100% RDN as control with three replication. The highest yield (12.24 t/ha) was obtained under weekly fertigation treatment with 125% RDN (F1N3), followed by 100% RDN (F1N2) having (11.56 t/ha) yield. Plant height (70.27 cm) in F1N3 treatment was recorded highest and lowest plant height (57.23 cm) was recorded in F2N1 among all the treatment. In weekly fertigation treatments, fruit weight, length and thickness were recorded 12.9, 11.5 and 14.4% higher, respectively, in F1N2 and 13.9, 14.6 and 16.5% higher, respectively, in F1N3, in comparison to F1N1 treatment. The highest WUE (5.56 kg/m3) was obtained under weekly fertigation with 125% RDN (F1N3) and minimum WUE (1.83 kg/m3) was observed in SF2 treatment. The highest NUE (192.78 kg of chilli/kg of Nitrogen) was obtained in F1N1 and minimum NUE (123.03 kg of chilli/kg of Nitrogen) was observed in SF2 treatment. From all the observation, it was concluded that treatment having fertigation level of 125% RDN (F1N3) at weekly interval (F1N3) gave best results among all the treatments imposed during the study.ThesisItem Open Access Delineation of potential sites for water harvesting structures through geospatial technologies in Nuh district of Haryana(CCSHAU, 2019) Athira C.R; Sidhpuria, M.S.Water is an indispensable matter of life. Though the nature has been bestowing us with moderate amount of rainfall, the unscientific management of water resources leads to drought in most parts of the country. Hence efficient utilization and management of accessible water has to be performed. Construction of water harvesting structures at appropriate sites can diminish the water scarcity problem. Site suitability studies through geospatial technologies have gained higher attention in water resource planning and management in recent times. Thus, a study was conducted in Nuh district of Haryana to delineate the potential sites for water harvesting structures and place appropriate structure in each site using remote sensing and GIS. Physical features such as land use/land cover, slope, stream order, soil, lineament, geomorphology and ground water quality were mapped and analysed through weighted overlay analysis in GIS environment to obtain the potential sites for water harvesting. Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to assign the weightage values for different layers. The study revealed 1086 potential sites for water harvesting structures in the study area. The sites within 500 m radius were grouped together and chose the best 175 sites according to their geomorphologic characteristics. The sites were analysed on the basis of their physical features and suitable for each site was assigned. Majority of the sites were found suitable for farmpond with lining (129) followed by percolation tanks (26), check dams (10) and gully plugs (7), respectively. The groundtruth verification of randomly chosen sites supported the research findings. Thus the study manifested that the geospatial technologies area highly adaptable for sites suitability studies.ThesisItem Open Access Effect Drip Irrigation Frequency and Water Quality Tomato(College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 2000) Shimekaw, Addisu; Singh, PratapThesisItem Open Access Modelling approach for irrigation management in wheat under saline groundwater condition(College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 2000) Poonia, Sanjay; Singh, RajinderThesisItem Open Access Drainable surplus of a part of inland drainage basin(College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1999) Kumar, Krishan; Singh, JoginderThesisItem Open Access Design and development of knowledge- base seed storage information system(College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1999) Mann, Sandeep; Garg, M.
