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 irrigation methods and planting dates on yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2019-11) Mukesh Kumar; Bhatia, A K
    The present investigation entitled “Effect of irrigation methods and planting dates on yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)” was studied at Research farm of Department of Vegetable Science, CCS HAU, Hisar during the year 2017-18 and 2018-19. Among different irrigation methods, micro-sprinkler irrigation method (I2) significantly enhance total tubers yield of potato (230.0 and 252.2 q/ha harvested at 75 DAP and 246.1 and 295.2 q/ha harvested at 90 DAP) over furrow irrigation method, whereas, among different dates of planting, 15th October (D4) gave significantly maximum total tubers yield of potato (341.6 and 363.4 q/ha harvested at 75 DAP and 383.2 and 417.3 q/ha harvested at 90 DAP) over rest of the other planting dates during 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively. While comparing the interaction between irrigation method and date of planting, maximum yield of potato was observed in treatment D4I2 and comparing the combinations of different dates of planting with different methods of irrigation, maximum total tubers yield of potato (349.0 and 371.8 q/ha harvested at 75 DAP and 392.3 q/ha and 435.8 q/ha harvested at 90 DAP) were recorded in treatment D4I2 (where potato planted on 15th October under micro-sprinkler irrigation) which was statistically at par with D4 I1 (334.3 q/ha) during 2017-18 harvested at 75 DAP and D4 I1 (414.8 q/ha) during 2018-19 harvested at 90 DAP but potato planted on 15th September and harvested at 75 DAP with micro-sprinkler irrigation method to be a good substitute for existing planting dates and duration, which gave highest benefit cost ration (due to high price of fresh potato) under Hisar conditions.

    Effect of nitrogen levels and plant spacing on yield of bottlegourd cultivars
    (CCSHAU, 2011) Mukesh Kumar; Nand Kishore
    The present study entitled “Effect of nitrogen levels and plant spacing on yield of bottle gourd cultivars” was carried out at the Research Farm and Laboratory of Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the rainy season, 2008. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications having four levels of nitrogen (50 kg/ha, 62.5 kg/ha, 75 kg /ha, 87.5 kg/ha in main plots), two plant spacing (60 cm and 75 cm) and two cultivars (variety GH-22 and hybrid HBGH-35) in sub plots, thus making a total of sixteen treatment combinations. The plot size per treatment was 15 m2 (2 raised beds of 2.5×3m). The analysis of variance revealed that the differences between nitrogen levels were found highly significant for all the characters except fruit length, fruit diameter and early fruit yield per vine, where the differences were only significant. Differences between plant spacing were highly significant for all the characters except days to first female flower appearance, fruit length, vine length, average fruit weight and fruit yield per vine whereas, the difference in branches per vine was only significant. The differences between cultivars were highly significant for all the characters except fruit length, however, fruit diameter and early fruit yield per vine were only significant. All interactions were not significant for all the characters. First female flower appeared earliest and at lowest node along with first fruit picking with 50 kg nitrogen/ha and 60 cm plant spacing. Maximum fruit length ,fruit diameter, vine length, average fruit weight, fruiting period and number of fruits per vine were recorded with 75 kg nitrogen/ha and 75 cm plant spacing in both the variety and hybrid. Maximum branches per vine, early and fruit yield per vine and dry matter content of fruit were recorded with 87.5 kg nitrogen/ha and 75 cm plant spacing in both the cultivars. The maximum total fruit yield (q/ha) was harvested from 87.5 kg nitrogen/ha with 60 cm plant spacing in both the variety GH-22 and hybrid HBGH-35. The treatment with 87.5 kg nitrogen/ha and 60 cm plant spacing both in hybrid and variety resulted the highest net returns and fetched 21.53% and 19.13% increase in the net returns over recommended packages.
