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.

    Effect of manures and biofertilizers on growth and yield of garlic
    (CCSHAU, 2012) Ramesh Kumar; Avtar Singh
    The experiment entitled “Effect of manures and biofertilizers on growth and yield of garlic” was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS HAU, Agricultural University, Hisar during winter season of 2009-10. The experiment comprised the 15 treatments (manures and biofertilizers) and was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Net plot size was kept 2.25× 2 m. Ten competitive plants were observed randomly from each experimental treatment to record data on various parameters that were influenced by different manures and biofertilizers. Plant height, number of leaves per plant, average length of leaves, average breadth of leaves were found maximum with treatment T6 followed by T11 at 45, 60 and 90 DAS and same trend was observed in case of average bulb diameter, bulb neck thickness, average bulb weight, number of clove per bulb, clove size, total plant biomass and shoot weight per plant. The yield parameters of garlic were significantly influenced by different manures and biofertilizers. The yield of garlic was found maximum with treatment of T11 (124.24 q/ha) which was on par with T9 (124.05 q/ha). The lowest garlic yield was observed with T15 (114.06 q/ha). HG-17 produced highest leaf dry matter (%), Bulb dry matter (%) and total soluble solids along with treatment of T6 followed by T11 and T14.
