ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF SELECTED SPICES ON CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF KHOA(DAIRY CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT SHETH M. C. COLLEGE OF DAIRY SCIENCE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Patel Vivek Parvatbhai; Dr. Amit Kumar JainThesisItem Open Access EXPORT PERFORMANCE OF MAJOR FRESH FRUITS OF INDIA(DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Vipul S. G.; Dr. V. K. GondaliaIn the period of this global competition, it has become very much vital to study the performance of the exports of each and every commodity that is exported. Fresh fruits are such commodities which requires in depth analysis in order to know the current scenario as well as to make future policy decisions. Accordingly, the present study was undertaken to examine the trade pattern of the exports of major fresh fruits.ThesisItem Open Access PEST SUCCESSION AND ECOFRIENDLY MANAGEMENT OF INSECT PESTS OF CABBAGE (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)(DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B.

The population of leaf eating caterpillar, Spodoptera litura Fab. was noticed from first week of January and persisted till fifth week of February and its peak (2.09 larvae/3 leaves) was observed during 1st week of February (5th SMW). The occurrence of coccinellid beetle was started from third week of January to first week of March reached its peak (0.87 beetle/3 leaves) during 3rd week of February (7th SMW). The syrphid fly population was noticed from fourth week of January to first week of March and present throughout the season. It was at its peak (0.73 maggot/3 leaves) during 4th week of February (8th SMW).ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF KOKUM (GARCINIA INDICA) AS VALUE ADDED INGREDIENT IN WHEY BEVERAGE(DEPARTMENT OF DAIRY TECHNOLOGY S. M. C. COLLEGE OF DAIRY SCIENCE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) ANKAMANAL VEENA; Dr. S.V. PINTOThe present investigation involved evaluation of Kokum (Garcinia indica) as value added ingredient in whey beverage. The experiment was conducted in three phases. Phase I: Development of a tentative method for manufacturing of Kokum whey beverage (KWB); Phase II: Optimizing the TS level of reconstituted whey, level of sugar and level of Kokum syrup using Response Surface Methodology and Phase III: Evaluating the developed product for its physico-chemical properties, microbiological quality and assessing its shelf life.ThesisItem Open Access COMPARISON OF SELECTION INDICES USING DIFFERENT WEIGHTS IN OKRA (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)(DEPARTMET OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Vaniya Jyotika N; Dr. A. D. KalolaThe data on six different biometrical characters of fifty six genotypes/hybrids of okra were collected from Main Vegetable Research Station (MVRS), A.A.U., Anand during kharif season of the year 2018 for the present study entitled “Comparison of selection indices using different weights in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)”. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications. Six characters fruit yield per plant, plant height, number of internodes on main stem, fruit length, fruits per plant and fruit weight were used in the present study.ThesisItem Open Access POPULATION DYNAMICS OF SUCKING PESTS AND MANAGEMENT OF RED SPIDER MITE, Tetranychus urticae KOCH INFESTING Dodi, Leptadenia reticulata (RETZIUS) WIGHT AND ARUOTT(DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Prabakaran V; Dr. R. K. ThumarInvestigations on “population dynamics of sucking pests and management of red spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch infesting Dodi, Leptadenia reticulata (Retzius) Wight and Aruott” were carried out at Medicinal & Aromatic Plant Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during 2020. Eight biopesticides viz., neem seed kernal extract (NSKE) 5 per cent, neem oil 0.3 per cent, ashwagandha 7.5 per cent, desi cow urine 5 per cent, azadirachtin 0.15 EC, Beauveria bassiana 5% WP, Metarhizium anisopliae 1.15% WP, Neemastra 100 per cent and eight acaricides viz., chlorfenapyr 10 EC, propargite 57 EC, ethion 50 SC, sulphur 80 WDG, spiromesifen 22.9 SC, etoxazole 10 SC, dimethoate 30 EC, and abamectin 1.9 EC were assessed.ThesisItem Open Access VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS FOR GRAIN YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT TRAITS IN WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)(DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Desai Jayeshkumar P.; Dr. B. C. PatelAn experiment was conducted to assess genetic variability, correlation, path coefficient analysis, selection indices and genetic divergence for grain yield and its attributes with a set of 48 genotypes of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications during rabi 2020-21 at the Regional Research station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The characters studied were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), effective tillers per plant, length of main spike (cm), peduncle length of main spike (cm), spikelets per main spike, grains per main spike, 1000 grain weight (g), grain weight per main spike (g), grain yield per plant (g), biological yield per plant (g), harvest index (%), flag leaf area (cm2 ), protein content (%), sedimentation value (ml) and hardness index.ThesisItem Open Access LINE × TESTER ANALYSIS FOR FORAGE YIELD AND ITS ATTRIBUTES IN FORAGE MAIZE (Zea mays L.)(Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2021) Suvatar Vikram K.; Dr. J. I. NanavatiThe present investigation entitled “Line × Tester Analysis for Forage Yield and its Attributes in Forage Maize (Zea mays L.)” was undertaken to generate information on per se performances of parents and hybrids, the magnitude of heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis, gene effects and combining ability effects of parents and F1’s for green fodder yield and its component characters.ThesisItem Open Access ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE GENES PROFILING IN CAECAL MICROBIOTA OF POULTRY USING NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING(Department of Veterinary Microbiology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2021) Patel Krishnabahen. J; Dr. R. A. MathakiyaPoultry production can function as an instrument for poverty alleviation and economic development. As low-income countries transition into higher incomes alongside growing urban populations, there is an increasing demand for quality sources of animal products. Poultry products are consumed highest in the world, but in several countries many essential antibiotics are used during poultry production. Promotion of intensive poultry production could increase antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within resource-limited settings lacking in effective biosafety and biosecurity measures. In recent scenario, phenotypic and genotypic methods are used for the detection of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance genes spread through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) through phages, plasmids, transposons or integron gene cassettes.
