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.

ThesisItem Open Access 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.ThesisItem Open Access Seed Source Variation for Seed and Seedling Characters in Kair [Capparis decidua (Forsk.) Edgew.](CCSHAU, 2006) Kalu Ram; Bangarwa, K. S.Seeds were collected from five randomly selected trees of Capparis decidua from each of two sites from Rajasthan (Hanumangarh, Bhadra) and Haryana (Sirsa, Hisar) provenances during September 2005. The seeds of all the twenty progenies arising from four provenances were used for provenance testing in nursery and seed storage up to six months. Fruit diameter ranged from 14.79 to 22.88 mm with a general mean of 17.83 mm. Variability for fruit diameter was comparatively higher in Hanumangarh and Sirsa. Analysis of variance showed the presence of significant variation among progenies for germination per cent, plant height and collar diameter, whereas significant variation among provenances were observed for plant height and collar diameter. Medium values of phenotypic coefficient of variation and little difference from genotypic coefficient of variation were observed for all the three characters, viz., germination per cent, plant height and collar diameter. Heritability estimates and genetic advance were also found high for all the characters under study. Progeny number 8 from Bhadra provenance was found overall best for all the three characters viz., germination per cent, plant height and collar diameter. Progeny number 6 from Bhadra was found significantly superior than general mean for plant height and collar diameter whereas progeny number 1 from Hanumangarh was found significantly superior than general mean for germination per cent and plant height. In general, the provenances like Hanumangarh and Bhadra were found superior for seedling characters. Standard germination of fresh seeds varied from 53.74 per cent in progeny no.17 from Hisar to 62.21 per cent in progeny no.1 from Hanumangarh with a mean of 59.08 per cent. The average germination per cent of fresh seed (59.08) was reduced to 44.87 per cent three months after storage and which was further reduced to 32.73 per cent six months after storage. The reduction in both vigour index-I and vigour index-II were observed higher than standard germination for all the progenies up to six months of storage.ThesisItem Open Access Vegetative propagation of Dalbergia sissoo (Roxb.) through stem cutting(CCSHAU, 2006) Praveen Kumar; Bimlendra KumariThe experiment was conducted in the nursery of the Department of Forestry in CCS, Haryana Agricultural University (India) during February and August season of 2003-04. The cuttings taken form 8 to 10 years old tree from three zones of canopy i.e. upper, middle and lower with thickness i.e. 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm diameter (thin) and 1.1 cm to 1.5 cm (thick). These cutting treated with different plant growth regulators viz. indole-3-butyric acid, indole-3-acetic acid, nepthalic acid at three concentration levels i.e. 1000 ppm, 500 ppm, 250 and combination of thiamine with 500 ppm of each growth regulator. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replication. The results revealed that cutting planted in February season gave better percentage of rooting (60.6%), number of roots per cutting (4.0), root length (12.0 cm) per cutting and weight of roots (0.37g) than August planted cuttings. All the roots characteristics obtained were better with thick cutting than thin cutting and canopy levels followed the trend of lower, middle and upper canopy i.e. cutting from the lower canopy gave best results. IBA 1000 ppm was most effective in sprouting (75.5%) and rooting (66.4%) of Dalbergia sissoo stem cutting. All the PGRs treatment gave significantly better results in both the season with all the canopy levels and with thick as well as thin cutting over control. From the studies, it was concluded that when the cutting of Dalbergia sissoo is taken from lower canopy with diameter 1.1-1.5 cm (thick) treated with indole-3-butyric acid 1000 ppm planted in February season gave the best results with respect to duration of sprouting, percentage of sprouting, number of leaves per cutting, number of roots per cutting, weight of root and shoot, percentage of rooting and rootshoot weight ratio and average length of root per cutting.ThesisItem Open Access Development of efficient plant regeneration system in Kinnow mandarin(Citrus nobilis Lour × Citrus deliciosa Tenora) for genetic transformation(CCSHAU, 2008) Sataveer; Chauhan, V. S.The present study was carried out to develop an efficient plant regeneration system in Kinnow mandarin (Citrus nobilis Lour X Citrus deliciosa Tenora) for genetic transformation. Direct regeneration of shoots and roots without intervention of callus from epicotyl segments collected from in vitro raised seedling and shoot tips collected from in vivo raised plants was observed on MS basal medium supplemented with different cytokinins and auxins. The MS+BAP 1.Omg/l was recorded to be the best treatment for shoot proliferation in in vitro epicotyl explants and in vivo shoot tip explants. The MS + BAP 1.0 mg/1 was observed to be the best treatment for shoot proliferation in in vitro epicotyl explants and shoot tip explants in case of parameters like percent regeneration, number of shoots per explant, shoot length followed by MS+Kin l.0 mg/l. The number of shoots per explant ranged, from 1.20 to 4.20 in epicotyl and 1.0 to 4.20 in shoot tips. The maximum length of shoot was recorded 3.20 cm in case of In vitro epicotyl segments and 2.60 cm in shoot tips on the MS+BAP 1mg/l. In case of rooting medium ½ MS+IBA 1.Omg/l was found to be best for different aspects of root differentiation like number of days required for root initiation (13), per cent rooting (94%) number of roots/planted (4.20), root length (4. 1 cm).ThesisItem Open Access 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.ThesisItem Open Access Screening Of Oyster Mushroom, Pleurotus Spp. Against Mushroom Flies And Their Management(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University; Hisar, 2009) Joshi, Gagan; Mrig, K.K.ThesisItem Open Access Compactability Behaviour Of Soils Under Different Cropping Sequences(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University; Hisar, 2005) Dinesh Kumar; Phogat, V.
