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 summer moong genotypes to dates of sowing
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Manoj Kumar; Lathwal, O.P.
    An investigation entitled “Response of summer moong genotypes to dates of sowing” was conducted at KVK farm Kurukshetra during summer season of 2007. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments comprised to two genotypes (SML 668 and MH 318) sown on 1st, 10th, 20th, 30th March, 9th and 19th April. The genotype SML 668 registered better growth (plant height, dry matter, accumulation, crop growth rate, relative growth rate), yield attributes, grain, straw and biological yield than MH 318. There was 24,32, 44% contribution of leaves, stem and pods to dry matter production at harvest irrespective of genotypes and sowing time. However, the genotype MH 318 took 3 days less in 50% flowering and maturity. SML 668 removed more nutrients and gave higher protein yield than MH 318. The crop sown on 20th March recorded better growth and more number of pods/plant, grain, straw and biological yield followed by 30th March than advance or delayed sowings. However, appraisable grain yield (14.5-15.5 t/ha) was received under advance (1st March) and delayed upto 19th April) sowings also. Early sown crop took more days in emergence (4-7), 50% flowering (33-44) and maturity (56 to 67) due to variations in temperature. The time of sowing could not influence the NPK content protein content and protein yield both in grain and straw but the nutrient uptake was directly proportional to grain and straw yields.
