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.

    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.

    Effect of planting time on growth, yield and quality of bt cotton (gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes.
    (CCSHAU, 2012) Ramesh Kumar; Bhattoo, M.S.
    A study entitled, Effect of planting time on growth, yield and quality of Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) genotypes , was conducted at CCS, Haryana Agricultural University, Cotton Research Station, Sirsa during Kharif 2011. The soil of experimental field was sandy loam in texture and slightly high in pH. Soil tested low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications. The combination of four dates of sowing viz. D1=3rd week of April (20th April), D2=1st week of May (6th May), D3=3rd week of May (18th May) and D4=1st week of June (6th June) were kept in main plots and three genotypes viz., V1= RCH 134, V2= NCS 855 and V3= Bio 6488 were kept in sub plots. Maximum plant height and dry matter was recorded at 3rd week of May sowing. Maximum sympods, number of bolls, yield plant-1, seed cotton yield and lint yield ha-1 were recorded in early sowing (D1 and D2) which were significantly higher than late sowing (D3 and D4). Plant height was highest in NCS 855 but the dry matter production was significantly higher in RCH 134. Sympods, number of bolls, yield plant-1, seed cotton yield and lint yield ha-1 were significantly higher in NCS 855 than RCH 134 but it was statistically at par with Bio 6488. All the fibre quality parameters were not affected significantly by dates of sowing except fibre strength which was found better in late sowing. Uniformity ratio and fibre fineness were found better in RCH 134 than other two genotypes but the span length was superior in NCS 855. Significantly higher protein content (%) in cotton seed was recorded in D3 than all other sowing dates. However, oil content (%) was recorded significantly higher in D1 and D2 than D3 and D4. Genotype RCH 134 recorded significantly higher oil and protein content than Bio 6488 and NCS 855. Early sowing had a significant effect on available N, P and K (kg ha-1) in the soil. Availabe N (kg ha-1) was found more in RCH 134 sown field in 0-15 cm soil depth and in Bio 6488 in 15-30 cm depth but the available phosphorus and potash (kg ha-1) was highest with significant differences in Bio- 6488 and NCS 855, respectively. Sowing on 3rd week of April resulted in higher total cost of cultivation, gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio than all other sowing dates. NCS 855 genotype produced higher cost of cultivation, gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio as compared to other genotypes.
