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 manures and biofertilizers on growth and yield of garlic
    (CCSHAU, 2012) Ramesh Kumar; Avtar Singh
    The experiment entitled “Effect of manures and biofertilizers on growth and yield of garlic” was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS HAU, Agricultural University, Hisar during winter season of 2009-10. The experiment comprised the 15 treatments (manures and biofertilizers) and was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Net plot size was kept 2.25× 2 m. Ten competitive plants were observed randomly from each experimental treatment to record data on various parameters that were influenced by different manures and biofertilizers. Plant height, number of leaves per plant, average length of leaves, average breadth of leaves were found maximum with treatment T6 followed by T11 at 45, 60 and 90 DAS and same trend was observed in case of average bulb diameter, bulb neck thickness, average bulb weight, number of clove per bulb, clove size, total plant biomass and shoot weight per plant. The yield parameters of garlic were significantly influenced by different manures and biofertilizers. The yield of garlic was found maximum with treatment of T11 (124.24 q/ha) which was on par with T9 (124.05 q/ha). The lowest garlic yield was observed with T15 (114.06 q/ha). HG-17 produced highest leaf dry matter (%), Bulb dry matter (%) and total soluble solids along with treatment of T6 followed by T11 and T14.

    Effect of irrigation and potash levels on yield and keeping quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
    (CCSHAU, 2012) Adhikari, Ram Chandra; Rana, M.K.
    The experiment entitled “Effect of irrigation and potash levels on yield and keeping quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)”was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during winter season of 2010-11 and 2011-12 to find out the optimum level of irrigation and potash for getting higher yield as well as keeping quality of potato tubers at ambient room temperature. The potato variety used for the investigation was Kufri Bahar. The treatments comprising four levels of irrigation (25, 30, 35 and 40 mm CPE) and four levels of potash (0, 100, 125 and 150 kg/ha) were laid out in a split plot design with three replications keeping a net plot size of 3.6x3.6 m. The ten competitive plants were selected randomly from each treatment to record data on various parameters, which were influenced significantly by different levels of irrigation and potash. The leaves weight per hill (g), leaf area index, weight (kg) of >25-50, >50-75 and > 75 g size tubers,total tuber yield (kg/m 2 and q/ha) and marketable tuber yield (kg/m 2 and q/ha) were registered significantly maximum with irrigation level 35 mm CPE. Likewise, the values for physiological loss in weight and decay loss of potato tubers (%) at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after harvest was lowest with irrigation level 40 mm CPE. The maximum value for plant height at 45, 60, 75 and 90 days after planting, number of stems per hill, number of leaves per stem, leaves weight per hill (g), stem weight per hill (g), leaf area index, number and weight (kg) of >25-50, 50-75 and >75 g size tubers, total number and weight of tubers (kg) per meter square and total and marketable tuber yield (kg/m 2 and q/ha) were recorded maximum with the application of potash @ 150 kg/ha. However, the number and weight (kg) of up to 25 g size tubers was noticed maximum with no potash application. Dry matter and starch content of potato tubers (%) at harvest was recorded maximum with potash application @ 150 kg/ha, while the total ethanol soluble sugars content of potato tubers at harvest on dry weight basis (mg/100 g) was minimum with potash 150 kg/ha. The minimum value for physiological loss in weight and decay loss of potato tubers (%) at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after harvest was recorded with potash application @ 150 kg/ha. The interaction effect of irrigation and potash levels showed remarkable variation for leaves weight, leaf area index, tuber yield and keeping quality parameters. Significantly the highest values for leaves weight per hill (g), leaf area index, weight (kg) of >25-50, 50-75 and >75 g size tubers per square meter, total weight of tubers (kg) per square meter were registered with the treatment combination of irrigation level 35 mm CPE andpotash 150 kg/ha. Similarly, significantly the minimum value for physiological loss in weight and decay loss of potato tubers (%) at 15, 30, 45 and days after harvest wasnoted with treatment combination of irrigation level 40 mm CPE and potash application @ 150 kg/ha. The two years results suggest that the irrigation level 35 mm CPE in combination with potash @ 150 kg/ha and irrigation level 40 mm CPE with potash 150 kg/ha have shown the best treatment combinations for potato production and storage at ambient room temperature, respectively under semiarid conditions of Hisar (Haryna).

    Characterization of coriander genotypes
    (CCSHAU, 2012) Amit; Malik, T.P
    A study was conducted on “Characterization of coriander genotypes” to identify sixty genotypes under study. Plant morphological characters like plant growth habit, leaf tip, number of umbels per plant, yield per plant (g) were found to be the most important diagnostic characters for cultivar identification in coriander. Some seed morphological characters like test weight, seed colour, seed ridges and seed shape were also found helpful to differentiate the coriander cultivars. The differential response of coriander genotypes to chemical test - phenol test was found to be very effective for genotype identification. The schematic diagram on the basis of some important morphological traits has higher resolution in terms of differentiating among genotypes. The schematic diagrams based on seed and chemical test are also very useful for identification of genotypes.

    (CCSHAU, 2012) Pawan Kumar; Bhatia, A.K.
    The experiment entitled“Effect of seed size, spacing and nitrogen on seedpotato production cv. Kufri Bahar.” was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during winter season of 2009-10. The experiment comprising of three seed size (25-50 g, >50-75 g and >75-100 g), three plant spacing (60x10, 60x15 and 60x20 cm) and two nitrogen level (100 and 125 N kg/ha) was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications keeping net plot size 3.6x3.0 m. Ten competitive plants were selected randomly from each experimental treatment to record data on various parameters, which were influenced significantly by different seed size, plant spacing and nitrogen levels. The per cent plant emergence, plant height, leaves/stem, leaf area index, number of tubers up to 25 g, >25-50 g and >50-75 g grade, total numberof tuber, weight of tuber >25-50 g and >50-75 g grade were statistically higher with seed size >75-100 g tubers. However, the value for number of stems per hill, leaves weight per hill, stem weightand weight of foliage, number of tubers per plot >75 g grade, weight of tubers up to 25 and >75 g and total tuber yield was maximum with >50-75 g seed size tubers. Different plant spacing exhibited significant difference for growth and yield parameters. The maximum value for plant height, stem/hill, leaves/stem, leaf area index , leaves weight, stem weight, weight of foliage, number of tubers >50-75 g and >75 g grade, total number of tubers, weight of tubers up to 25 g, >25-50 g >50-75 g, >75 g grade and total tuber yield were maximum with 60x20 cm plant spacing. However, per cent plant emergencewas found maximum with plant spacing 60x15 cm and number of tubers up to 25 g and >25-50 g grade tubers per plot were found maximum with plant closest spacing of 60x10 cm. Effect of nitrogen level showed remarkable variation for growth and yield parameters except per cent plant emergence. Significantly highest value was registered for plant height, stem/hill, leaves/stem, leaf area index, leaves weight, stem weight, weight of foliage, numberof tubers up to 25 g, >25-50 g, >50-75 g and >75 g, total number of tubers, weight of tubers up to 25 g, >25-50 g >50-75 g and >75 g grade, total tuber yield with nitrogen 125 kg/ha. However, plant emergence found maximum with nitrogen 100 kg /ha. Kufri Bahar produced highest total tuber yield 437.14 q/ha when >50-75 g seed size tubers were planted at a spacing 60x20 cm and nitrogen level 125 kg/ha which was followed by seed size >75-100 g, plant spacing 60x15 cm and nitrogen level 100 kg/ha.
