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.

    Heterosis and combining ability studies in broccoli
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Anthwal, Abhilasha; Partap, P.S.
    Fourty three genotypes comprising 13 parents (10 females and 3 males) their 30 hybrids were grown in randomized block design with three replications to study the combining ability and heterosis in broccoli. The analysis of variance indicated the presence of sufficient genetic variability for all the characters studied. Among female parents, BH-25-3-6, BH-25-3-7, DBG-B-12 and among male parents Broccoli No.1 and Cavolo Broccolo Notalima showed high gca effects for yield and other yield attributing traits. The cross BH—25-3-7  Atlantica and DBG-B-12  Broccoli No. 1 showed high sca effects for yield and related attributes. The crosses Palam Haritika  Cavolo Broccolo Notalima, BH-29-5-6  Atlantica showed high heterosis for yield and other yield contributing traits. For number of days to 50 % BH-25-3-6 was good general combiner amongst the female parents and Cavolo Broccolo Notalima among male parents, as they took minimum number of days to 50 % harvest. Among the crosses BH-14-4-2 x Cavolo Broccolo Notalima was best specific combiner as it showed significant and negative sca effect. In case of hetrosis over better parent and mid parent, the cross Palam Haritika x Cavolo Broccolo Notalima showed significant and negative heterosis for days to 50 % harvest BH- 14 – 4 – 2 x Cavolo Broccolo Notalima exhibited significant heterosis over best parent for number of days to 50 % harvest.
