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.

    Response of pearlmillet-wheat cropping system to various sources of nutrients in terms of growth, yield and nutrient uptake
    (CCSHAU, 2010) Amit Kumar; Pawan Kumar
    The field experiment entitled, “Response of pearlmillet-wheat cropping system to various sources of nutrients in terms of growth, yield and nutrient uptake” was conducted during the year 2009-10 at Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India). The experiment consisting of twelve treatments was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. In pearlmillet crop treatment T6 (50% RD-NPK + 50% N through FYM in pearl millet and 100% RD-NPK in wheat) exhibited highest growth characters. Yield contributing characters were also recorded highest in treatment T6. Grain, straw and biological yields of pearlmillet increased with progressive increase in inorganic fertilizer dose. In pearlmillet-wheat cropping sequence total NPK uptake by pearlmillet was higher in integrated nutrient management treatments as compared to inorganic fertilizer treatments. In wheat crop, treatment T6 recorded highest growth characters. Yield contributing characters were also recorded highest in treatment T6. Highest net returns and B : C were obtained in treatment T6 closely followed by T10 (50% RD-NPK + 50% N through Green Manure in pearl millet and 100% RD-NPK in wheat). The microbial counts and establishment (Azotobacter, phosphate solubliser, Azospirillum and total bacteria) of the soil improved in the treatments where integrated nutrient fertilizer was applied as compared to chemical fertilizer treatments.

    Effect of FYM and gypsum on onion (Allium cepa L.) production under sodic water irrigation
    (CCSHAU, 2014) Amit Kumar; Yadav, A.C.
    The experiment entitled Effect of FYM and gypsum on onion (Allium cepa L.) production under sodic water irrigation was conducted at Research Farm, Department of vegetable science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2013 in rabi season to find out the effect of FYM and gypsum on growth, bulb yield and quality of onion under sodic water irrigation as well as economics of different treatments. The cultivar used for the investigation was Hisar-2. The treatments comprising three levels of FYM (0, 10 and 20 t/ha) and gypsum (0, 50 and 100% neutralization of RSC) and its combinations were laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications keeping a net plot size of 3.0 x 3.0 m. The data were recorded on various parameters, which were influenced by different levels of FYM and gypsum. The minimum values for seedling mortality per cent, soil pH, ESP, bulb dry matter and TSS, while, maximum values for growth and yield parameters viz. plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant survival at harvest, bulb length, bulb diameter, bulb yield, per cent marketable bulbs, size of bulbs and quality of bulbs were recorded with combination of FYM at 20 t/ha and 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum. Highest net return and benefit:cost ratio was recorded in combination of FYM at 20 t/ha and 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum. The results suggest that the combination of FYM at 20 t/ha and 100% neutralization of RSC by gypsum has shown the best economical treatment in onion for higher yield with quality bulb production at commercial scale under semi-arid condition of Hisar (Haryana).
