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.

    Storage studies in pea under different types of polythene and storage conditions
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Singal, Vikramjeet; Malik, T.P.
    The present investigation was carried out at the Post Harvest Laboratory of the Department of Vegetable Science at CCS Haryana Agricultural University during the year 2006. The main objective was to enhance the shelf life of pea pods and grains of varieties i.e. Arkil under ambient room temperature and zero energy chamber using different types of packaging materials viz., polyethylene bags (LDPE, HDPE and PVC) and News paper bags of 1 kg capacity for pods. LDPE packing at zero energy chamber storage was most effective in checking the PLW and decay loss. There was continuous decrease in sugar, TSS, chlorophyll content irrespective of the packaging treatments. However carotenoids content showed an increasing trend. Penicillium sp., Colletotrichum sp., Fusarium sp. & Aspergillus sp. were the main causal organism responsible for the decay. Among different treatment LDPE pods and grains packing at zero energy chamber storage were the best in maintaining physical, biochemical and pathological parameters up to 12th and 8th day respectively of storage. Whereas maximum degradation of fruits was found in News paper stored at room temperature.
