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.

    Effect of high RSC water, FYM and gypsum on seed production in carrot (Daucus carota L.)
    (CCSHAU, 2018) Amit Kumar; Batra, V.K.
    The experiment entitled “Effect of high RSC water, FYM and gypsum on seed production in carrot (Daucus carota L.)” was conducted at Research Farm, Department of vegetable science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2015-16 and 2016-17 to find out the effect of high RSC water, FYM and gypsum on growth, seed yield and seed quality parameters of carrot as well as on economics of different treatments. The cultivar used for the investigation was Hisar Gairic. The treatments comprising three levels of FYM (0, 10 and 20 t/ha) and gypsum (0, 50 and 100% neutralization of RSC) and its combinations were laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications keeping a net plot size of 3.0 x 3.0 m. The data were recorded on various parameters, which were influenced by different levels of gypsum and FYM. The minimum values for plant height ,number of branches per plant, number of different order umbels, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, test weight, standard germination per cent and vigour index while maximum values for ESP and soil pH were recorded in control (F0G0). The maximum values for growth, seed yield, seed quality and minimum for soil pH and ESP were recorded with combination of FYM at 20 t/ha and 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum in both the years. Highest net return and benefit: cost ratio was recorded in combination of FYM at 20 t/ha and 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum. The results suggest that the combination of FYM at 20 t/ha and 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum has shown the best economical treatment in carrot for higher seed yield with quality seed production at commercial scale under semi-arid condition of Hisar (Haryana).
