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.

    Variability, epidemiology and management of Tilletia indica Mitra, the incitant of Karnal bunt of wheat
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2019-11) Mamta; Rajender Singh
    Karnal bunt disease of wheat continues to be a potential threat to production and trade of wheat. The present study was planned to study cultural, morphological, molecular and pathogenic variability in Tilletia indica, epidemiology and management of this disease. On the basis of cultural and morphological characteristic, the largest teliospore size was observed in Bhiwani isolate, whereas Kapurthala isolate was having the smallest size. Different Karnal bunt isolates colony colour were white, yellowish white, creamy, creamish yellow and creamish white whereas, culture colony growth pattern of isolates were erect, compact, clustering, crustose, appressed, spreading and leathery. Maximum teliospore germination, primary sporidia formation and secondary sporidia production was recorded at 18°C in Pantnagar isolate. Best teliospore germination occurred at pH 6.0 followed by pH 5.0 Maximum coefficient of infection was expressed in HD2967 followed by DPW 621-50. Pantnagar isolate exhibited maximum mean coefficient of infection followed by Bhatinda and the least was observed in Mahendergarh isolate. Pantnagar isolate was most virulent as well as had maximum sporulation. Karnal bunt resistant reaction in three differentials namely HD 29, HD 30 and Aldan were noted. In molecular variability twelve molecular markers were tested against 10 Karnal bunt isolates and characterized into 3 major groups. Karnal bunt incidence had significant correlation with maximum temperature, rainy day and total rainfall during earhead emerging stage Two hundred seventy nine genotypes showed less than 5 coefficient of infection against Karnal bunt thereby expressing resistant reaction and 221 genotypes were susceptible having more than 5 per cent coefficient of infection under artificial inoculation condition. Maximum disease control was obtained by propiconazole 25% EC (0.1%) application, followed by combination of propiconazole 25% EC (0.05%), neem seed kernel and Trichoderma harzianum.

    Development and Nutritional Evaluation of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) Based Convenience Foods
    (CCSHAU, 2015) Mamta; Kawatra, Asha
    The present investigation was carried out to study the nutrient composition of selected pearl millet varieties (HHB-223 and HHB-67 improved); to develop pearl millet based convenience food products and evaluate the products for organoleptic acceptability, nutrient composition and shelf life. Various convenience foods developed were instant mixes (idli mix, upma mix and dhokla mix) traditional foods (halwa, laddoo, kheer, khichri and paushtik atta mixes), popped products (popped mixture) and extruded products (puffs, crispies and instant noodles) Nutritional composition of the selected varieties indicated that HHB-67 improved variety contained 12.54, 5.43, 2.68 per cent of crude protein, crude fat and ash, respectively. Calcium, iron and zinc content of HHB-67 improved was 54.07, 9.35 and 4.28 mg/ 100 g , respectively. In vitro starch and protein digestibilities of HHB-67 improved variety were higher than that of HHB-223. Data revealed that all the developed convenience food products were organoleptically acceptable. Nutritional evaluation of the acceptable developed convenience food products showed that all the products were nutritionally good. In pearl millet incorporated convenience food mixes contained crude protein,crude fat and crude fibre ranged from 11.23 to 22.98, 2.98 to 21.36 and 0.72 to 5.13 per cent, respectively. Calcium, iron and zinc ranged from 25.94 to 959.38, 0.68 to 10.15 and 0.31 to 5.45 mg/ 100g, respectively in pearl millet incorporated convenience mixes. In vitro protein digestibility of pearl millet incorporated convenience food mixes ranged from 57.80 to 62.87 per cent. In vitro starch digestability in pearl millet based convenience foods ranged from 33.76 to 50.09 mg maltose/g. Total dietary fibre ranged from 8.22 to 16.19 per cent, respectively in pearl millet blended mixes. Pearl millet based convenience food mixes were nutritionally superior than their respective controls mixes in terms of dietary fibre and mineral content. Shelf life study indicated that products could be stored well and were acceptable upto 90 days. Convenience foods have become popular and such food based upon pearl millet may emerge as promising products in the market.
