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.

ThesisItem Open Access Response of biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.)(CCSHAU, 2019) Anuradha; Goyal, R.K.The present experiment entitled Response of biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) was conducted at Hi-tech greenhouse and Post-harvest Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (Haryana) during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 to find out the best bacterial strain that enhanced the growth, yield and quality of strawberry and minimize the disease incidence in fruits. The data were recorded on plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant spread, crown diameter, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, number of runners per plant, number of fruits per plant, fresh weight of fruit, length and breadth of fruits, yield per plant, moisture content in fruits, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content. The recorded data were subjected to statistical analysis using Completely Randomized Design (factorial). The strawberry plants were inoculated with different strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas and their combination and all the rhizobaterial inoculated plants fertilized with 75% RDF. Different strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas had significant effect on growth, yield and quality of strawberry. The results indicate that strawberry plants fertilized with 100% RDF significantly increased growth, yield and quality of strawberry, however plants inoculated with Bacillus strain HCA61 and Pseudomonas strain CP109 were potent in increasing all growth and yield parameters whereas, among quality parameters maximum TSS was observed in Bacillus strain RCA3 and maximum ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content was observed in Bacillus strain SYB101, and plants inoculated with Pseudomonas strain CP109 produces maximum TSS, minimum titrable acidity, maximum ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content of fruits. The minimum disease incidence in fruits, i.e., gray mould and fruit rot was observed in plants supplied with Bacillus strain HCA61. The strains CP109 + HCA61 and MHA75 + HCA61 showed best results for growth, yield and minimum disease incidence.ThesisItem Open Access Carbohydrate Metabolism in Podwall of Brassica Campestris L.

RThesisItem Open Access Genetical and biochemical basis of cotton leaf curl virus disease in Gossypium hirsutum L.(CCSHAU, 2014) Anuradha; Siwach, S.S.The present investigation comprising six generation (Parents, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) of four crosses in cotton viz. H1098-I x B 59-1678, H 1117 x HS6, H 1098-I x H1117 and B 59-1678 x HS6 was conducted for studying the inheritance of cotton leaf curl virus disease and estimating the gene effects for the yield and its component traits during kharif 2013 at the experimental area of the Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India. The inheritance of cotton leaf curl virus disease indicated the duplicate dominant epistasis(15:1). No complimentary gene action was observed in cross with susceptible parents. Generation mean analysis revealed significant differences for all traits where the A, B, C and D individual scales were also significant for most of the characters indicating thereby the presence of non-allelic interactions. In some of the cases, the non-significance of chi-square value indicated the fitness for additive-dominance model. Additive component was significant for most of the characters and even as preponderant in magnitude over the dominance component. Either all or any of the three types of epistatic interactions (i, j and l) were significant for most of the cases and generally it is the “i" type of interaction which is more frequently prevailing for most of the traits studied over the crosses. However, the magnitude and direction of estimates changed for the cross. Additive x additive type of interaction was recorded for plant height, boll number, boll weight,GOT, seed index and seed cotton yield. Duplicate type of interaction was apparent for plant height, boll number, boll weight, GOT and lint index. Complementary type of interaction was recorded for plant height. Significant heterosis was observed for plant height, boll weight, seed index. The magnitude and direction of heterosis was varying from cross to cross. Among biochemical parameters, sugar content was higher in susceptible parents than resistant ones. Also, it decreased at 90 DAS when the disease incidence was higher and further increase at 120 DAS. Phenol, tannin and gossypol content, the secondary metabolites were higher in resistant parents as compared to susceptible parents. Concentration was more at 90 DAS which decrease at 120 DAS. Protein and cellulose concentration was gradually decrease and increase with days after sowing respectively. Correlation matrix indicated that cotton leaf curl virus disease grading was significant positively correlated with the sugar content and negatively correlated with phenol, tannin, gossypol, protein and cellulose, while oil content did not indicated any correlation with CLCuD grading irrespective of crosses and Days after sowing.ThesisItem Open Access Physiological and biochemical basis of seed viability loss in cotton (Gossypium sps.)(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University;Hisar, 2000) Anuradha; Sheoran, I.S.ThesisItem Open Access In vitro propagation and genetic fidelity studies in strawberry(CCSHAU, 2015) Anuradha; Sehrawat, S.K.The present study was conducted in Centre of Plant Biotechnology and Department of Horticulture CCS Haryana Agricultural University Hisar in 2014-15 to develope in vitro protocol for production of quality plant material of strawberry cultivar Ofra and assess the genetic fidelity of the in vitro raised plants by using RAPD markers. The nodal segments were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of auxins and cytokinins for direct regeneration and indirect via callus formation. MS medium supplemented with 2.5 mg/l kinetin and 0.1 mg/l IAA was found most effective for direct regeneration, while MS medium containing 4.0 mg/l NAA and 2.0 mg/l BAP yielded the highest percentage of callus. The highest response of shoot multiplication was obtained in MS fortified with 2.5 mg/l kinetin and 0.1 mg/l IAA for direct regenerated shoots and 2.0 mg/l kinetin and 0.5 mg/l IAA for regeneration of shoots from callus. The regenerated shootlets were rooted on Half strength MS medium with different concentration of auxins. The maximum frequency of rooting and number of roots were observed on 1 mg/l IBA and 1 mg/l NAA respectively for direct regenerated shoots, whereas Half strength MS ( control, i.e. without growth regulators ) and 1 mg/l NAA for shoot regenerated from callus. The plantlets thus developed were hardened successfully and established in mixture of coco peat, vermicompost and perlite in ratio of 3 :1 :1. Some morphological variations were found in plants generated by callus. On the basis of variations, in vitro raised plantlets were subjected to evaluation of genetic uniformity using RAPD markers. Out of twenty one primer screened, six primers showed amplification and the RAPD profiles were obtained found to be reproducible and monomorphic. The results concluded that the tissue culture raised plants of strawberry were genetically identical and clonally uniform.ThesisItem Open Access Feasibility of Flower Cultivation as an Enterprise for Rural Women(CCSHAU, 2014) Anuradha; Varma, Shashi KantaFor assessing the feasibility of flower cultivation for rural women, one block namely Hansi-I of Hisar district of Haryana state was selected randomly. Out of the selected block, two villages namely Umra and Dhani Peera Wali were selected randomly. A sample of 100 rural women i.e. 50 from each village was drawn and 40 women i.e. 20 from each selected village were selected who were interested in having training on flower cultivation. Various socio-personal, economic, psychological and communication variables constituted the independent variables and knowledge, attitude, skill and symbolic adoption constituted the dependent variables for the study. Data were collected with the help of pre-tested structured interview schedule. The inferences were drawn on the basis of frequency, percentages, paired ‘t’ test, weighted mean score, impact assessment index and correlation. The findings of the study revealed that less than half of the respondents belonged to upper middle age group, were illiterate, married, having nuclear family, had agriculture labourer as their main occupation and belonged to upper middle caste having annual income Above 60,000 and having Large land holding with negligible social participation, owning mixed type of houses. Most of the respondents had high change proneness, high economic motivation and high risk orientation. Intra family decisions were taken mostly by husband alone while entrepreneurial decisions were taken jointly by most of the respondents. Majority of the respondents had medium mass media exposure, low localite service and were having low cosmopolite services. Awareness of rural women regarding flower cultivation was very low at pre-exposure stage but awareness was very high at post-exposure stage. Sufficient gain in knowledge and change in attitude was recorded for all the sub-components of flower cultivation after exposure to training which was highly significant at 0.05 per cent level of significance. Impact assessment of flower cultivation training was found to be of moderate level. Most of the respondents had acquired medium skills after exposure to training. Majority of respondents had moderately high symbolic adoption and were willing to adopt flower cultivation with somewhat difficulty and had moderately high overall acceptability. Most of the respondents perceived marketing and technological constraints at 1 st and 2 nd rank. No significant relationship of independent variables with dependent variables was recorded.
