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.

    Comparative study of stability measures for rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes
    (CCS HAU, Hisar, 2023-07) Bisht, Prashant; Vinay Kumar
    The study aimed to compare existing parametric and non-parametric stability measures for rice genotypes and propose a modified measure based on entropy-based TOPSIS. Experimental data from thirty-six rice genotypes evaluated at two locations over two cropping seasons were analyzed to evaluate genotype-environment interaction. The results revealed strong positive correlations between stability measures such as Wricke's ecovalence and Shukla's stability variance, indicating their similarity in stability ranking. Additionally, significant positive correlations were found between mean yield and specific stability measures, suggesting their effectiveness in selecting genotypes with high yield potential. The proposed modified measure, incorporating entropy weights and four parametric measures, provided a comprehensive assessment of stability. The study emphasized the importance of considering both stability and yield in genotype selection, and the findings contribute to a better understanding of stability analysis in rice cultivation.
