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 wheat to zinc application under high SAR and saline conditions
    (CCSHAU, 2005) Gaur, Mayank; Mor, R.P.
    Four screen house experiments were conducted to study the relative tolerance of wheat varieties to salinity and SAR and interactive effect of zinc with salinity and zinc with SAR on wheat crop. In first experiment, the treatments consisted of two wheat varieties (WH-755 and SNH-17) and four salinity levels (0, 6, 9 and 12 dSm-1) having chlorides and sulphates salts. In second experiment effect of different SAR levels 10, 20, 30 and 40 (mmol/L)½ on wheat included two wheat varieties (WH-755 and SNH-17). The third experiment interactive effect of different Zn levels (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg kg-1) soil at fixed ECe (9 dSm-1) was investigated on the yield and nutrient uptake of two wheat varieties. The fourth experiment on performance of wheat varieties (WH-755 and SNH-17) to different zinc application levels (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg kg-1) under SAR 40 (mmol/L)½ condition. Each experiment was replicated thrice in a factorial completely randomized design. In all the experiments the desired salinity and SAR levels were created using chloride and sulphate salts of Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. With the increasing salinity from 0 to 12 dSm-1 there was a decrease in biomass, grain and straw yield of both the wheat varieties (WH-755 and SNH-17). However, the magnitude of decrease in wheat yield depended upon level of salinity and wheat cultivar. There was a decrease of 19.3, 22.4 and 32.8 percent in grain yield of wheat at 6, 9 and 12 dSm-1 salinity levels, respectively. The reduction in grain yield of wheat was more in case of WH-755 as compared to variety SNH-17. The wheat variety SNH-17 found to be relatively more tolerant to salinity as compared to WH-755. The overall straw yield of both the varieties were statistically at par with each other and decreased by 28.33, 37.54 and 43.70 percent at 6, 9 and 12 dSm-1 with increasing salinity, respectively as compared to non-saline. The grain and straw yield of both the varieties reduced with the increasing SAR levels. The overall reduction in grain and straw yield were 26% and 19%, respectively, at SAR 40 in comparison to SAR 10. The increasing levels of Zn from 0 to 20 mg Zn kg-1 soil increased the grain and straw yield of wheat by 27.5% and 42%, respectively at ECe 9 dSm-1. Application of zinc under high SAR 40 (m mol/L)½ increased the grain yield by 42% when Zn levels increased from 0 to 20 mg Zn kg-1 soil. The overall concentration of zinc increased by 24.78, 55.69 and 60.66 percent at 5, 10 and 20 mg Zn kg-1 soil in a saline soil (ECe 9 dSm-1) and at a fixed SAR [40 (m mol/L)½]. The overall increase in Zn concentration and uptake were 22.88 and 32.37, 9.45 and 71.18 and 62.83 and 74.96 percent at 5, 10 and 20 mg kg-1 soil, respectively. The uptake of N, P, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Cu except K by wheat straw decreased with increasing zinc application levels from 0 to 20 mg kg-1 soil, under both the saline (ECe 9dSm-1) and high SAR [40(m mol/L)½] soil conditions. Increasing levels of Zn had appreciable ameliorative role in saline and sodic conditions.

    Integrated nutrient management in pearl millet-mustard cropping sequence in South-West Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2005) Satyajeet; Nanwal, R.K.
    A field experiment entitled, “Integrated nutrient management in pearl millet-mustard cropping sequence in South-West Haryana” was conducted during the year 2003-04 and 2004-05 at Research Farm of Regional Research Station, Bawal, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four pearl millet verities viz. HHB-117, HHB-94, HC-10 and HC-20 in main-plot and eight fertility levels viz. control, 75% RD (recommended dose), 100% RD, Vermicompost @ 5 tonnes ha-1, 75% RD + vermicompost, 100% RD + vermicompost, 75% RD+ vermicompost + biofertilizer and 100% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer in sub-plots having three replications. Different treatments were tried -99- -99- during kharif season while in rabi season only residual effect on succeeding mustard (variety, RH-30) crop was seen. Hybrids HHB-117 recorded highest growth, yield attributes and yield over rest of the varieties. Among fertility levels, 100% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer exhibited highest growth characters, yield contributing characters, grain and stover yields. The pooled grain yield was recorded highest with 100% RD in conjunction with vemicompost and biofertilizer (19.54q ha-1). Application of 100% RD and 75% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer also gave comparable yields. In pearl millet crop NPK concentration in grain and stover, uptake and total uptake was higher in integrated nutrient management treatments as compared to inorganic fertilizers. In mustard crop, different varieties of pearl millet failed to record significant residual effect among themselves in terms of yield attributes and yields of mustard. Application of inorganic nutrients integrated with organic fertilizers to pearl millet crop left behind sufficient residual effect, which tended significant increase in yield attributes and yields of mustard across the years as well as in the pooled data of two years. The EC, pH, organic carbon, available NPK and micronutrients in soil were improved after the crop sequence in the treatments where inorganic fertilizers were blended with organic sources in pearl millet crop. Mean maximum net return (Rs. 20756 ha-1) and mean B:C ratio (1.64) were obtained with 100% RD + vermicompost + biofertilizer closely followed by 100% RD + vermicompost.

    Studies on Epidemiology and Management of root-rot of clusterbean
    (CCSHAU, 2005) Shekhar Kumar; Sher Singh
    Root-rot complex in clusterbean caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola, Fusarium solani and Sclerotium rolfsii is a major disease of clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub] in Haryana. The inoculum age of 7 days old culture, inoculum density of 50g/kg soil, soil temperature of 30oC, soil moisture of 30 per cent water holding capacity (WHC) and soil pH of 6.0 were found to be optimum for disease development in three varieties, viz. FS-277, Pusa Nav Bahar (PNB) and HG-75. Garlic extract at 20 per cent concentration was found most effective against root-rot complex which showed maximum inhibition of the pathogen, i.e., 90.25 per cent under laboratory conditions. Under screenhouse conditions garlic extract at 20 per cent concentration in HG-75 was found most effective against the pathogens which exhibited minimum seedling mortality (4.75%). Trichoderma harzianum was found an effective antagonist against root-rot complex which showed maximum inhibition of the pathogen, i.e., 73.77 per cent under laboratory conditions. Under screenhouse conditions Trichoderma harzianum in HG-75 was found most effective against the pathogens which exhibited minimum seedling mortality (5.50%). Among organic amendments mustard residue and vermicompost when applied in combination @ 5g/kg soil resulted in maximum disease control, i.e., 11.75 per cent seedling mortality in HG-75.
