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.

    Studies on the effect of manure and biofertilizers on seed production of carrot (Daucus carota var. atrorubens)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-07) Monika; Makhan Lal
    Carrot (Daucus carota var. atrorubens) belonging to family Umbelliferae with chromosome number 2n=18 is a popular cool season vegetable and is one of the important root vegetable crops. The inflorescence, typical of the Umbelliferae, is a compound umbel. In India, root to seed is the standard method used for the production of high quality seed as this method allows the selection of healthy and true to type roots for the planting of stecklings. Organic seed production includes growing of seed crops by a collection of guidelines that prohibit the use of synthetic products/ chemicals. The present study was conducted at Seed Research Area of Department of Vegetable Science, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during spring-summer season of 2018-19. The objectives of the investigation were to study the effect of manure and biofertilizers on growth, seed yield and quality parameters of carrot seed crop. The experiment involved fourteen treatments, viz., T1- Absolute control, T2- RDF (N:P:K 80:40:40 kg/ha), T3- Farm yard manure 25t/ha, T4- Poultry manure 4t/ha, T5- Vermicompost 8t/ha, T6- FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha, T7- FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha, T8- FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha+ VC 4t/ha, T9- FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha+ Azo+PSB, T10-FYM 12.5t/ha+ Azo+PSB, T11- FYM 12.5t/ha+ VC 4t/ha+ Azo+PSB, T12- VC 8t/ha+ Azo+PSB, T13- PM 4t/ha+ Azo+PSB and T14- FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha+ VC 4t/ha + Azo+PSB and was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Highest plant growth, seed yield and yield attributing characters viz., number of umblets per umbel, number of seeds per umblets, number of seeds per umbel etc. and quality of seeds in terms of test weight, germination %, vigour index-I and II and Accelerating ageing test of 48 hours (germination %) during storage period of 3 and 6 months of carrot cv. Hisar Gairic was obtained with treatment T14 having combination of all the three manure and biofertilizers (FYM 12.5t/ha+ PM 2t/ha+ VC 4t/ha+ Azo+PSB), which was found at par with treatments T8, T9, T11 and T2. However, the B:C ratio was obtained highest with the treatment T9.
