    Effect of nitrogen levels under different spacing on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020) Chaman; Malik, T.P.
    The present study entitled, “Effect of nitrogen levels under different spacing on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)” was conducted during the Rabi 2019-20 at research farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The nitrogen doses and different row to row spacing plays important role in growth, yield and quality of coriander crop. In the present investigation four nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg ha-1) and three different row to row spacing (20 x 15 cm, 30 x 15 cm and 40 x 15 cm) were taken into consideration. The nitrogen was applied in two split doses i.e. 50 per cent at sowing and remaining dose at 40 days after sowing (DAS). Vegetative growth parameters i.e. days to emergence, plant height, primary branches and secondary branches (45, 60, 90 DAS and at harvest), yield and yield attributes were recorded. The quality parameters i.e. test weight, electrical conductivity, standard germination and vigour indices were also recorded in in-vitro condition after harvesting. It was observed that nitrogen dose at 75 kg ha- 1 and row to row spacing 40 x 15 cm was well suited for vegetative growth except plant height that was best in 20 x 15 cm spacing. The seed yield (2119 kg ha-1) and other yield attributes were found highest at 75 kg N ha-1 with spacing 40 x 15 cm and lowest in control. The quality parameters were recorded highest with 75 kg N ha-1 and spacing 40 x 15 cm and the highest cost of cultivation (Rs. 48445 ha-1) was occurred in coriander sown at higher nitrogen levels under different spacing. Among different treatments, highest gross returns of Rs. 158925 ha-1 and highest net returns of Rs. 110480 ha-1 were obtained at 75 kg N ha-1 with 40 x 15 cm. While comparing the, benefit cost ratios, highest B: C (2.29) was recorded at 50 kg N ha-1 with 30 x 15 cm.

    Standardisation of steckling size and plant spacing on seed production of carrot (Daucus carota. L)
    (CCSHAU,HiSAR, 2020-06) Yadav, Monika; Makhan Lal
    Carrot (Daucus carota L.) with chromosome number (2n) = 18 and belonging to the family Umbelliferae is one of the important root vegetable crops. Its cultivated forms have been domesticated from wild species. At first, it grows a rosette of leaves while, building the enlarged taproot. The fast growing cultivars mature within three months of sowing, while the slow growing cultivars mature four months after sowing. The roots contain high quantity of alpha- and beta-carotene, and are a good source of vitamin K and vitamin B6, thus, it is second most important crop in England after potato. Carrot roots are used as salad, cooked vegetable and in the preparation of soups, stews, pickle and sweetmeat. In India, root to seed is the standard method for the production of high quality seed as this method allows for the selection of healthy and true to type roots for the planting of stecklings. If the seed quality is not good, it may again be difficult to get enough number of uniform roots. One of the major problems faced by carrot growers in India is the unavailability of required amount of good quality seed. The yield of carrot seed can be increased by using healthy planting material and proper planting distance. A lot of work has been conducted on production technology but a little work has been carried out on carrot seed production. The relationship between harvest index and plant density in carrot seed production is very useful in optimizing plant population for maximum seed yield and quality. This 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 steckling size and plant spacing on growth, seed yield and quality parameters of carrot seed. The experiment comprised five treatments of plant spacing (60 x 30 cm (Flat), 60 x 45 cm (Flat), 60 x 60 cm (Flat), 60 x 30 cm (Single row on ridge), 60 x 45 cm (Paired row on ridge)and three steckling size (8 cm, 6 cm and 4 cm) was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Highest seed yield of carrot cv Hisar Gairic was obtained with plant spacing of 60 x 45 (Paired row on ridge) which was statistically at par with plant spacing of 60 x 30 cm (Single row on ridge) with stecklings of 8 cm. However, the quality parameters of seed were found better at plant spacing of 60 x 60 cm (Flat) with steckling size of 8 cm.

    Integratenutrient management studies in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)
    (CCSHAU,HiSAR, 2020-07) Yugvinder; Kuldeep Kumar
    The present investigation was carried out at the Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science and in the laboratories of the Department of Soil Science and Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during the summer season of 2019-20 to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on the growth, yield and quality of chilli and the Seed of chilli cv. “Kashi Anmol” was grown with thirteen different treatment combinations. All the treatments were assessed for the growth, yield and quality parameters. The experimental results revealed that the application of Recommended NPK + Vermicompost @ 2 t/ha + Azotobacter (T3) followed by treatment T5 (50 % NPK + FYM @ 12.5 t/ha + Vermicompost @ 2 t/ha + Azotobacter) and T4 (Recommended NPK + FYM @ 12.5 t/ ha + Azotobacter) performed superiorly over the other treatments with remarkably higher values for all the growth yield and quality attributes viz., plant height (cm), number of primary branches, days to first fruit harvest, average fruit weight (cm), yield per plot and per hectare, ascorbic acid (mg/100g), total soluble solids (%) and NPK uptake by the plant (g/plant). During the investigation the net returns and benefit cost ratio was also found highest in these treatments. However, minimum values for these attributes were recorded under control (T13). Therefore, to reduce the cost of chemical fertilizers with maintaining sustainability of soil fertility and for higher yield and benefit-cost ratio the chilli crop may be supplied with 50 % Recommended NPK + FYM @ 12.5 t/ha + Vermicompost @ 2 t/ha + Azotobacter as per treatment (T5).

    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-08) Vikram; Malik, T.P.
    The present study was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm and in the laboratories of the Department of Seed Science and Technology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertigation on growth, seed yield and quality of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) varieties. The material comprised of three coriander varieties viz., V1- Hisar Bhumit, V2- Hisar Anand and V3- Hisar Sugandh as main plot, four levels of irrigation viz., I1-0.6 IW/CPE, I2-0.8 IW/CPE, I3-1.0 IW/CPE and I4-1.2 IW/CPE ratio as sub plot and three nitrogen levels i.e. N1-40 kg ha-1, N2-50 kg ha-1, N3-60 kg ha-1 and N4-70 kg ha-1 as sub-sub plot replicated thrice were undertaken using drip fertigation. All the treatment combinations were evaluated for different growth, seed yield and seed quality parameters. The application of irrigation scheduled at 1.2 IW/CPE recorded significantly higher values for all the growth parameters (plant height, number of branches per plant, days to 50% flowering and maturity), yield attributes (number of umbellets per umbel, number of seeds per umbel, number of seeds per umbellet, seed yield per plant and test weight), seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, NUE, quality parameters (standard germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index-I, vigour index-II, accelerated ageing of seed) and BCR over other irrigation scheduling. These were statistically at par with irrigation scheduled at 1.0 IW/CPE. The maximum WUE was found with lower level of irrigation and the minimum electrical conductivity was observed with irrigation scheduling at 1.0 IW/CPE. Nitrogen levels 70 kg ha-1 recorded significantly maximum growth parameters, yield attributes, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, WUE, quality parameters and BCR of coriander, which was statistically at par with nitrogen applied at 60 kg ha-1. The maximum NUE was found with lower level of nitrogen and the minimum electrical conductivity was observed with N3. Among different varieties, significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes (except test weight), standard germination under accelerated ageing test and minimum electrical conductivity were recorded with Hisar Bhumit, while the maximum seed yield, harvest index, NUE, WUE, test weight, quality parameters and BCR were obtained in Hisar Sugandh. Its concluded from the current study that coriander variety i.e. Hisar Sugandh found to be superior with respect to growth, yield and BCR when grown at irrigation scheduling at 1.0 IW/CPE and 60 kg/ha of nitrogen level in western region of Haryana.

    (CCSHAU, 2019) Sapra, Love; Tehlan, S.K.
    The experiment entitled Effect of seed rate and nitrogen levels on seed yield and quality of kasuri methi (Trigonella corniculata L.) was conducted at Research Farm of Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during rabi season of 2018-19. The investigation comprising of four different seed rate and three nitrogen level was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications with a plot size of 3.0 x 2.4 m. The uppermost value for plant height, pod length, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, germination percentage, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seed vigour index I, seed vigour index II were recorded with seed rate of 7.5 kg/ha. However, seed rate of 12 kg/ha took minimum number of days to 50% flowering and to maturity. Biological yield, harvest index and seed yield were recorded highest with seed rate of 10.5 kg/ha which was at par with seed rate of 9.0kg/ha. Different nitrogen level had a significant effect on growth, seed yield and seed quality parameters. The maximum value for plant height, pod length, number of seeds per pod, biological yield, test weight, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seed vigour index I and vigour index II was recorded with nitrogen dose of 60 kg/ha. The number of branches per plant, number of cluster per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, seed yield, harvest index and standard germination percentage attained utmost with 40 kg/ha while days to 50 percent flowering and days to maturity recorded highest with 20 kg/ha. Interaction of various seed rates with different nitrogen levels results remarkable variation for growth, seed yield and seed quality parameters. Significantly higher values were recorded for plant height at maturity, pod length, number of seeds per pod, test weight, standard germination percentage and seedling length with treatment combination N3S1, i.e. seed rate 7.5 kg/ha and nitrogen dose of 60 kg/ha. The treatment combination N2S1, i.e. seed rate 7.5 kg/ha and nitrogen dose of 40 kg/ha, was found to be best with respect to number of branches per plant, number of cluster per plant, number of pods per cluster and number of pods per plant. The seed yield and harvest index were recorded utmost at N2S3 i.e. nitrogen dose of 40 kg/ha and seed rate of 10.5 kg/ha which was at par with N2S2 i.e. 40kg N/ha and seed rate of 9.0 kg/ha. Whereas, biological yield was utmost at N3S3 i.e. nitrogen dose of 60 kg/ha and seed rate of 10.5 kg/ha. However the days to 50 percent flowering, days to maturity, seedling dry weight, seed vigour index I and II interacted non-significantly with interaction of nitrogen and seed rate.

    Variability studies for growth, yield and quality characters of tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill)
    (CCSHAU, 2019) Vidya R.; Batra, V.K.
    The present investigation entitled “Variability studies for growth, yield and quality characters of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)” was carried out at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during a spring-summer season of 2018.The study material comprised of genetically diverse thirteen tomato genotypes which were evaluated in randomized block design and. The genotypes were taken from IIVR Varanasi in All India coordinated research project and traits were evaluated on the basis of plant height, number branches, days to 50% flowering, number of trusses per plant, number of flowers per cluster, number of fruits per truss, number of fruits per plant, leaf area index, marketable yield, average fruit weight, equatorial and polar diameter of fruit, number of locules per fruit, pericarp thickness of fruit, total soluble solids, acidity, ascorbic acid content ,chlorophyll a:b ratio, test weight of seed and days to first harvest, which differentiate the tomato genotypes. Analysis of variance studies indicated a significant difference among all the genotypes for all the characters under study. Genetic variability studies showed high PCV and GCV values for number of branches per plant (23.54 and 23.93), pericarp thickness (15.42 and 16.46) and acidity(14.79 and 15.8), indicating that a greater amount of genetic variability was present for these characters and thus, there is greater scope for further improvement by genetic manipulation. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for marketable yield (98.08 %), days to 50% flowering (97.80), plant height at 90 days after transplanting (97.75%), number of fruits per plant, number of branches per plant, total soluble solids number of locules per fruit, which indicated that these traits were under the strong influence of additive gene action, and hence, simple selection based on phenotypic performance would be more effective. The total yield per plant had positive and highly significant correlation with the number of branches per plant (0.813 and 0.798), number of flowers per cluster (0.872 and 0.837), number of trusses per plant (0.861 and 0.716), number of fruits per truss , number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, number of locules per fruit, ascorbic acid and days to first harvest at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. It indicated that the improvement in these traits leads to an increase in total yield. The highly positive direct effect on total yield was shown by The characters leaf area index, number of flowers per cluster, number of trusses per plant, number of fruits per truss, polar diameter of fruit, pericarp thickness of fruit, total soluble solids, chlorophyll a:b ratio and days to first harvest, suggested that direct selection based on these characters would result in higher breeding efficiency for improving the yield in tomato.
