ThesisItem Open Access Effect of different nitrogen sources on soil properties and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.)(CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-09) Amit Kumar; Santosh Kumar SinghIn order to study the effect of various nitrogen sources on growth, yield and yield attributes and soil properties, a field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2020 at farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Fatehabad (Haryana). The experiment was planned in a randomized block design with fourteen treatments replicated thrice Based on the research investigation, it was observed that different nitrogen sources significantly affected the growth, yield, yield attributes, economics and soil properties under rice cultivation. Among different sources, treatment with 100% RDN through urea recorded significantly higher plant height (95.42 cm), number of tillers (372.17 m-2), grain yield (44.61 q ha-1) and straw yield (96.88 q ha-1). Highest gross net return (Rs. 87355 ha-1), net return (Rs. 50635 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.38) was observed in treatment 100% RDN through urea. Decrease in soil pH, EC and increase in soil organic carbon was observed in treatments where nitrogen was applied through organic manures viz. FYM, vermicompost and poultry manure as compared to initial value. The highest available N (120.30 kg ha-1), P (19.13 kg ha-1), K (237.20 kg ha-1) and S (34.50 kg ha-1) was observed in treatment where RDN was applied through poultry manure. The content of micronutrients increased with application of FYM, vermicompost or poultry manure alone or in combination with chemical fertilizer and found highest in treatment receiving 100% RDN through vermicompost. Highest nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur content and its uptake in rice was observed where 100% RDN applied through chemical fertilizer.ThesisItem Open Access Evaluation of different Brassica spp. and botanicals for the management of mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach)(CCSHAU, 2017) Amit Kumar; Yadav, SunitaThe present studies entitled “Evaluation of different Brassica spp. and botanicals for the management of mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach).” were carried out during Rabi season of 2016-17 at the research area and laboratory of Oilseeds Section, Department of Genetics Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Under field conditions, the mustard aphid was appeared after 25th January, 2017 on those Brassica genotypes which were in flowering. Based on pooled average aphid population index (PAAII) the pooled average AII was a minimum of 0.8 in Nigra and maximum of 4.3 in BSH-1. Three genotypes (Nigra, T-27 and TH-68) were categorized as highly resistant having AII less than one. Whereas among the selected Brassica genotypes at flowering stage none of the genotypes found highly susceptible. But two genotypes (Nigra and T-27) were consistently highly resistant from flower initiation, full flowering to pod formation stages. Two genotypes, BSH-1 and YSH-401 having pale green leaf colour also showed maximum AAII (4.3 and 3.6 respectively). The genotype T-27 having high-density trichomes showed non-preference to mustard aphid whereas the genotypes BSH-1 having light-density trichomes showed maximum susceptibility AAII i.e. 4.3. The genotypes BSH-1, YSH-401 and UDN-69 having a bright yellow colour flowers attracted more mustard aphid in comparison with other flower colours. The genotypes having compact inflorescence (BSH-1, RC-5, HC-212 and YSH-401) harboured more aphid infestation while the genotypes having loose inflorescence (T-27 and Sangam). Generally, the genotypes such as BSH-1, UDN-69, EC- 552585 with medium maturity periods contracted higher AAII as against the genotypes having short and long maturity durations. The genotypes viz., BSH-1, YSH-401 and HC-212 had very low phenol content on the basis of the pooled mean of plant parts i.e. 1.51, 1.60 and 1.85 per cent respectively. The AAII and phenols were negatively correlated (r = -0.921**) with each other and significant. The effect of waxes in leaves had the lethal effect on aphid infestation and the correlation between AAII and waxes was negative (r = -0.911**) and significant. A positive correlation was observed between AAII and TSS content (r = 0.978**). The per cent aphid reduction over control after seven days of application was found to be maximum (93.21 %) in dimethoate 30 EC @ 625 ml/ha followed by Azadirachtin 10000 ppm @ 1.0 ml per litre of water (81.61%), Azadirachtin 1500 ppm @ 1.0 ml per litre of water (78.49%), Neem oil 3% (76.42%), Neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) 5% (71.44%). It may be concluded that dimethoate 30 EC followed by Azadirachtin 1500 ppm @ 1.0 ml per litre of water, Azadirachtin 10000 ppm @ 1.0 ml per litre of water and Neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) 5% may be recommended for most economic and effective management of mustard aphid on Indian mustard. Phenols and waxes exhibited negative correlation while proline and total sugars, had a positive correlation with mustard aphid infestation. An overall consideration of all the parameters indicated that no single factor governed the infestation of mustard aphid independently and the extent of infestation was an outcome of the contribution of all the factors togetherThesisItem Open Access Effect of planting geometry and nitrogen level on growth, yield and quality of medium duration non-scented rice (Oryza sativa L.)(CCSHAU, 2017) Amit Kumar; Ishwar SinghThe field experiment was conducted during kharif 2016 at Rice Research Station, Kaul (Kaithal) of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of planting geometry and nitrogen levels on growth, yield and quality of non-scented rice variety HKR 127. The experiment consisted of four planting geometries viz. 15 cm x 15 cm, 20 cm x 15 cm, 30 cm x 20 cm and Farmer’s practice in main-plots and three nitrogen levels viz. 120, 150 and 180 kg/ha in sub-plots in split-plot design with four replications. Soil of the experimental field was sandy-clay-loam in texture, alkaline in reaction(pH 7.7), medium in organic carbon (0.51 %), low in available nitrogen (161 kg N/ha), medium in phosphorus (28 kg P2O5/ha) and high in potassium (378 kg K2O/ha). Plant height, number of tillers per m2, dry matter accumulation per m2, yield and yield attributes and nutrient (NPK) uptake in grain and straw increased significantly with close planting geometry (15 cm x 15 cm and 20 cm x 15 cm), while number of grains per panicle increased with wide planting geometry (30 cm x 20 cm and farmer’s practice). The maximum grain and straw yield (8670 and 10540 kg/ha, respectively) were recorded with medium planting geometry (20 cm x 15 cm). However, plant height, dry matter accumulation per m2, number of grains per panicle, straw and grain yield and nutrient uptake increased with increase in nitrogen levels from 120 to 180 kg N/ha. The maximum grain and straw yield (8703 and 11257 kg/ha, respectively) were recorded at 180 kg N/ha. Panicle length, 1000-grain weight, harvest index and quality parameters (hulling, milling and head rice recovery) were not affected significantly due to planting geometry and nitrogen levels, while nutrient (NPK) concentration in grain and straw was affected significantly by nitrogen levels but not by planting geometry. Highest gross return (Rs. 128,505/ha), net return (Rs. 57,694/ha and benefit:cost (B: C) ratio (1.81) were obtained with planting geometry of 20 cm x 15 cm spacing. The highest gross return (Rs. 128,148/ha), net return (Rs. 58,997/ha and B: C ratio (1.85) were obtained with 180 kg N/ha. However, the cultivation of rice variety HKR 127was found most economical when it was transplanted at spacing of 20 cm x 15 cm and supplied with150 kg/ha.ThesisItem Open Access Response of pearlmillet-wheat cropping system to various sources of nutrients in terms of growth, yield and nutrient uptake(CCSHAU, 2010) Amit Kumar; Pawan KumarThe 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.ThesisItem Open Access 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).
