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.

    Evaluation and quantification of fish food organisms and aquatic weeds of Ottu reservoir in Haryana
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-09) Mehta, Pragya; Gajender Singh
    The study was carried out in Ottu reservoir which is situated in Sirsa city of Haryana, India. Evaluation and quantification of fish food organisms and aquatic weeds of Ottu reservoir were monitored from March 2021 to June 2021. The evaluation of the planktonic population revealed that there were 36 genera of plankton recorded. Out of this 19 genera of phytoplankton belongs to class Bacillariophyceae (3 genera), Cyanophyceae (3 genera), Chlorophyceae (11 genera), Euglenophyceae (2 genera) and 17 genera of zooplankton belongs to class Copepoda (9 genera), Rotifera (2 genera), Cladocera (4 genera), and Protozoa (2 genera). In various months maximum, 123 species of phytoplankton were observed in site 2 and site 4 and Chlorophyceae found as dominant group while in zooplankton in various month site 4 showed maximum 391species of zooplankton and Cladocera group found as the dominant group. The highest quantity of plankton was observed in April while the minimum quantity was observed in March. Shannon and Weaver's diversity index for plankton found maximum in site 1(3.35) and minimum in site 4 (3.25). In site 1 and site 2 significant difference (P<0.05) was observed for the phytoplanktons groups present every month from March to June. However, a non-significant difference was observed in site 3 and site 4.Whilst the zooplankton group present in site 1, site 2, site 3, and site 4 from March to June was also found significant. A total of 7 species of aquatic weeds recorded 4species (Eicchornia crassipes, Lamnea minor, Pistia stratiotes and Nympahea alba) belongs to free floating aquatic weeds, 2 species (Ceratophyllum demersum , Hydrilla verticelleta) belongs to submerged aquatic weeds and 1 species (Typha latifolia) belongs to Emergent aquatic weeds. A total of 17 benthic species of benthos identified belongs to 2 phylum viz. annelida (3 species) and mollusca (14 species) and in mollusca 2 class viz. gastropoda and bivalve recorded. Maximum benthic fauna recorded in June.
