    INFLUENCE OF MICRONUTRIENTS AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR ON MORPHO PHYSIOLOGICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL QUALITY AND YIELD OF ONION (Allium cepa L.) CV. GAWO-2
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Faldu Tarang Ashokbhai; Dr. Ashwin Trivedi
    Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the most important commercial vegetable crops belongs to Alliceae family being grown all over the country. It is widely used as a cooked vegetable in soups, mix vegetable and flavouring agent in many additional dishes. The continuous demand of onion within country and for the export has made it essential to supply onions round the year, either from fresh harvest or from stocks. Hence immediate attention needs to be given to improve the productivity, uniformity in size, shape, colour and export qualities of onion.

    INFLUENCE OF PHYTOHORMONES ON MORPHOPHYSIOLOGICAL GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF KALMEGH (Andrographis paniculata Nees)
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Shekhada Raxit Rameshbhai; Dr. Sunil J. Macwan
    Andrographis paniculata Nees is a medicinal plant known as “king of bitter”. It has been used for centuries in Asia for its high value compound used in the treatment of the various diseases. The kalmegh is now cultivated and due to its importance as medicinally is growing up. Plant growth regulators are known to overcome the limiting factors of plant growth and influence the vegetative and reproductive growth. It helps to improve growth yield and quality of a crop. So to know the potential of plant growth regulators the study was conducted to find out the effect of phytohormones on morphophysiological growth, yield and quality of kalmegh at Department of Plant Physiology, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand agricultural University, Anand during Kharif, 2019-20.

    DEVELOPMENT OF MICROPROPAGATION PROTOCOL FOR LITTLE GOURD UNDER IN VITRO CONDITION
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Patel Didhitee D.; Dr. A. P. Trivedi
    Cocciniagrandis(L.)Voigt.is commonally called as ivy gourd and little gourd. Cocciniagrandis belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, comprising 960 species. Most of the plants in Cucurbitaceae family are annual vines. It is aggressive wine, can form dense mats on lands that readily cover shrubs and small tree. Leaves are simple; shapes are different from the heart to pentagon shaped. Tendrils are simple. This tropical vine is native to Africa, and parts of Asia such as Thailand, Malaysia and India. In India, it is commercially cultivated in southern, eastern, and western regions, mainly in states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana, and West Bengal. The presence of saponins, flavonoids, and polyphenols in little gourd may contribute to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the leaves. It is extensively used in traditional medicine for the treatment of leprosy, jaundice, asthma, bronchitis, skin eruptions, burns, tongue sores, earache, indigestion, eye infections, nausea, insect bites and fever.

    STUDIES ON TURCICUM LEAF BLIGHT OF MAIZE AND IT’S MANAGEMENT”
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) ALPESHKUMAR BARAD; Dr. S. K. Singh
    Maize is a member of the grassy family Gramineae. It is third most important cereal crop in the world after wheat and rice. Maize is considered as the queen of cereals by virtue of contributing to about one-third of its production. Maize has became a staple food in many parts of the world used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. Among the different diseases, turcicum leaf blight caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Leonard and Suggs is the most important and destructive foliar disease in maize growing area of Gujarat and causing considerable yield loss.

    INFLUENCE OF CHEMICALS AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON GERMINATION AND MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF ASHWAGANDHA (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal)
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Abhishek S.; Dr. Ashwin Trivedi
    The present investigation entitled “Influence of chemicals and plant growth regulators on germination and morpho-physiological parameters of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal)” was conducted at Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Station, AAU, Anand during the year 2017-18. The objectives of the experiment were to identify the superior chemicals/growth regulators to obtain optimum germination and morpho-physiological parameters of Ashwagandha. The experiment was carried out under laboratory and field conditions. The laboratory experiment was laid out in completely randomized design while the field experiment was laid out in randomized block design. Each experiment consists of eleven treatments with three replications. The variety used for the present investigation was Gujarat Anand Ashwagandha – 1. The seeds were subjected to eleven treatments consisting of soaking in plant growth regulators, (GA3 and kinetin, each of 250 and 500 mg/l for 6 hours), cow urine (soaking with 6 and 12 hours), chemicals (NaNO3 and KNO3, each of 4000 and 8000 mg/l for 6 hours) and soaking in distilled water for 6 hours as control.

    SEED HARDENING AND FOLIAR SPRAYING OF VARIOUS GROWTH REGULATORS AND CHEMICAL AND THEIR COMBINED EFFECT ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGY, GROWTH AND YIELD IN GREEN GRAM (Vigna radiata L.)
    (B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2018) Ramesh Shankar Bhadane; Dr. D. B. Patel
    Green gram is the third important crop among the pulses in India. The major constraint in green gram crop is its low productivity. Scientists are focusing their research towards regulation of plant growth as an important factor in improving the production and quality with application of plant growth regulators and also by scientific approaches such as seed hardening and foliar spraying for accelerating the germination and yield.

    INFLUENCE OF SOURCE MANIPULATION, PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND CHEMICAL ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND YIELD OF GREEN GRAM (Vigna Radiata L. Wilckzek.) CV. GAM-5
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Ms. Parthvee R. Damor; Dr. A. D. Patel
    Greengram (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the important pulse crops. It is a leguminous species grown principally for its protein-rich edible seeds and also has potential as a green manure and as a forage crop. Crop residues are important feed resources for ruminants (Reddy et al., 2003). Greengram, also known as mung in Hindi, is cultivated mostly in developing countries. Low income groups depend on grain legumes to substitute for the expensive meat and fish products. Greengram is adapted in multiple cropping systems in the dry and warm climates of tropics and subtropics due to its rapid growth, short duration and wide adaptability. Being pulse crop productivity is low as compared to cereal due to more utilization of energy in protein synthesis as well as sown under low fertile soil.

    EFFECT OF PLANTING DATE AND CHEMICAL DESUCKERING ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS, YIELD AND QUALITY OF RUSTICA TOBACCO VARIETIES (Nicotiana rustica L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Tadvi Sunil; Dr. J. C. Chavda
    The present investigation on “Effect of planting date and chemical desuckering on morpho-physiological parameters, yield and quality of rustica tobacco varieties (Nicotiana rustica L.)” was carried out at Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during the year 2017-18. The field experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications comprising twelve treatment combinations of two varieties (GC 1 and DCT 4), two suckericides treatments (hand desuckering and pendimethalin @ 0.60 % + 2 % urea and three transplanting dates (4th week of October, 2nd week of November and 4th week of November).
