    NITROGEN MANAGEMENT THROUGH ORGANIC SOURCES IN LINSEED (Linum usitatissimum L.) UNDER IRRIGATED CONDITION
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Ashish Raja Jangid; Dr. S. N. Shah
    A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India during rabi seasons of the years 2019-20 to study the “Nitrogen management through organic sources in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) under irrigated condition”. The experimental field had an even topography with a gentle slope having good drainage and loamy sand in texture. The soil of the experimental field at 0-15 cm depth was low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and potassium and slightly alkaline in reaction. The ten treatments of organic sources of nitrogen viz., 100% RDF (60-30-0 NPK kg/ha) (T1), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through FYM (T2), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through vermicompost (T3), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through castor cake (T4), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through FYM + NPK consortium as seed treatment (T5), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through vermicompost + NPK consortium as seed treatment (T6), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through castor cake + NPK consortium as seed treatment (T7), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through FYM + NPK consortium as soil application (T8), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through vermicompost + NPK consortium as soil application (T9) and N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through castor cake + NPK consortium as soil application (T10) were tested in Randomized Completely Block Design with 4 replications.

    BRIDGING YIELD GAP OF SOYBEAN THROUGH SITE SPECIFIC NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Rakesh Mewada; Dr. G. J. Patel
    A field experiment was conducted at Tribal Research cum Training Centre, Anand Agricultural University, Devgadh Baria, Dist. Dahod, Gujarat to investigate the title “Bridging yield gap of soybean through site specific nutrient management” during the kharif season of the year 2020. The experimental soil was sandy loam with good drainage and fair moisture retention capacity. The experimental soil was low in available nitrogen (228 kg/ha), medium in available phosphorous (35 kg/ha) and fairly medium in available potash (145 kg/ha). The soil was free from acidity and salinity. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with seven treatments replicated four times. The treatments of different fertilizer doses included T1 SSNM based recommendation (25:39:38 NPK kg/ha), T2 [T1-N omission (00:39:38 NPK kg/ha)], T3 [T1-P omission (25:00:38 NPK kg/ha)], T4 [T1-K omission (25:39:00 NPK kg/ha)], T5 [RDF (20:60:40:20 NPKS kg/ha)], T6 [Farmers practice (FYM - 2 t/ha + DAP - 25 kg/ha)] and T7 (Absolute control). NRC 37 (Ahilya 4) variety of soybean was used as a test crop.

    EFFECTS OF SOURCES OF POTASH ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF RABI MAIZE (Zea mays L.) AND THEIR RESIDUAL EFFECT ON SUCCEEDING SUMMER GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Raiyani Vipul Nitinbhai; Dr. K. D. Mevada
    A field experiment was conducted at College of Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India during rabi summer seasons of the years 2019-20 and 2020-21 to study the “Effect of sources of potash on yield and quality of rabi maize (Zea mays L.) and their residual effect on succeeding summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)”. The experimental field had an even topography with a gentle slope having good drainage and loamy sand in texture. The soil of the experimental field at 0-15 cm depth was low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and potassium and slightly alkaline in reaction. The fourteen different sources and doses of potash treatments viz; Control (Without potash fertilizers) (T1), 30 kg K2O /ha through MOP (T2), 30 kg K2O /ha through SOP (T3), 30 kg K2O /ha through Schoenite (T4), 30 kg K2O /ha through MOP + KMB @ 1 lit/ha (T5), 30 kg K2O /ha through SOP + KMB @ 1 lit/ha (T6), 30 kg K2O /ha through Schoenite + KMB @ 1 lit/ha (T7), 45 kg K2O /ha through MOP (T8), 45 kg K2O /ha through SOP (T9), 45 kg K2O /ha through Schoenite (T10), 45 kg K2O /ha through MOP + KMB @ 1 lit/ha (T11), 45 kg K2O /ha through SOP + KMB @ 1 lit/ha (T12), 45 kg K2O /ha through Schoenite + KMB @ 1 lit/ha (T13) and Foliar spray of Schoenite @ 1.5 % at 30 & 60 DAS (T14) were studied under randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Maize var. GAYMH 3 was taken as rabi maize crop followed by succeeding summer groundnut var. GG 34.

    EFFICACY OF PRE AND POST EMERGENCE HERBICIDES AGAINST COMPLEX WEED FLORA AND YIELD OF SUMMER GREENGRAM (Vigna radiata L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Pramod Kumar; Dr. V. J. Patel
    A field experiment entitled “Efficacy of pre and post emergence herbicides against complex weed flora and yield of summer greengram (Vigna radiata L.)” was conducted on loamy sand soil during summer season of the year 2020 at Agronomy Farm of B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat. The soil of experimental field was low in organic carbon (0.34%), medium in available phosphorus (38.21 kg/ha), high in available potash (282.7 kg/ha) and slightly alkaline in reaction (pH 7.97) with normal electrical conductivity (0.20). The ten weed management treatments viz., pendimethalin (30% EC) 750 g/ha PE, oxyfluorfen (23.5% EC) 117.5 g/ha PE, pendimethalin (30%) + imazethapyr (2%) EC (pre-mix) 750 g/ha PE, imazethapyr (10% SL) 70 g/ha PoE, imazethapyr (35%) + imazamox (35%) WG (pre-mix) 70 g/ha PoE, fluazifop-p-butyl (11.1%) + fomesafen (11.1%) SL (pre-mix) 250 g/ha PoE, propaquizafop (2.5%) + imazethapyr (3.75%) ME (pre-mix) 125 g/ha PoE, sodium acifluorfen (16.5%) + clodinafop propargyl (8%) EC (pre-mix) 245 g/ha PoE, IC fb HW at 20 and 40 DAS and weedy check were studied in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replications

    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Patel Amitkumar Prakashbhai; Dr. R. A. Patel
    Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is one of the most important seed spice crops which occupies sizable area in Gujarat and India. There is need to maintain the quality of fennel seed through identifying proper stage of harvest and post harvest technological measures i.e. harvesting stage and drying method. Appropriate stages of umbel picking play an important role in maintaining quality and production of fennel.
