ThesisItem Open Access YIELD AND QUALITY OF CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.) AS AFFECTED BY SALINE IRRIGATION WATER UNDER MIDDLE GUJARAT CONDITION(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Rangani Prakashkumar R.; Dr. N. J. JadavThe pot culture study entitled, “Yield and quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as affected by saline irrigation water under middle Gujarat condition” was carried out during rabi season of the year 2019-20 in the net house at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand with a view point of studying the performance of four chickpea varieties {GG 2 (V1), GG 4 (V2), GG 5 (V3) and GJG 6 (V4)} against four saline irrigation water levels {1.0 (S1), 4.0 (S2), 6.0 (S3) and 8.0 (S4) EC dS m-1 } laid out in Completely Randomized Design (Factorial) with three repetitions.ThesisItem Open Access LONG TERM EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER ON DISTRIBUTION OF BORON FRACTIONS IN BAJRA-MUSTARD- COWPEA CROPPING SEQUENCE UNDER Typic Ustochrepts SOIL(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Neelam Yadav; Dr. K. C. PatelThe present investigation was undertaken to study the long-term effect of fertility levels (NP levels) with and without farmyard manure (FYM) on the changes in soil boron fractions under continuous bajra (cv. GHB-558)-mustard (cv. GM 2)- cowpea (F) (cv. EC 4216) cropping sequence in Typic Ustochrepts soil of Anand. The FYM (0 and 10 t ha-1 ) was applied once in a year to kharif bajra and four levels of NP fertilizers (0, 50, 100 and 150 % of RDF) were applied to each crop. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block with two factors keeping three replications.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECTS OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC FERTILIZATION ON GROWTH, YIELD AND METHANE EMISSION FROM TRANSPLANTED RICE(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRIL. CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Kadivala Varisali H.; Dr. V. P. RamaniPresent research was conducted to evaluate “Effects of organic and inorganic fertilization on growth, yield and methane emission from transplanted rice” during kharif season of the year 2020 at two different locations, (i) Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand on loamy sand soil and (ii) Agricultural Research Station for Irrigated Crops, Anand Agricultural University, Thasra on sandy loam soil.ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF ZINC COATED UREA ON GROWTH, YIELD AND ZINC CONTENT IN WHEAT(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2021) Hirpara Maulikkumar S.; Dr. P. V. MehtaIntensive agriculture led green revolution practices has depleted nutrient reserves of soils. In the era of green revolution, cultivation of high yielding varieties and use of high analysis fertilizers has accelerated the removal of micronutrients from the soils. Among the micronutrients, Zn deficiency in soils is the most detrimental to crop growth, production and yield of all cereal crops (Alloway, 2008). Zn deficient soils are regarded as the fifth leading risk factor in developing Asian countries and efforts are underway for encouraging Zn fertilization not only from the view point of getting higher yields but also for increasing Zn concentration in grain and straw to improve human and animal Zn nutrition. Studies are conducted to understand the compatibility and feasibility of developing urea enriched or infused or coated with Zn fertilizers; which may prove economical as well as efficient in sustainable agriculture. Looking to above scenario, an experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of zinc coated urea on growth, yield and zinc content in wheat.ThesisItem Open Access CHARACTERIZATION OF SOILS AND UNDER GROUND WATER QUALITY OF CHHOTAUDEPUR DISTRICT OF GUJARAT(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Patel Sahilkumar A.; Dr. J. K. ParmarAn attempt has been made in the present study to evaluate the physical and chemical properties and fertility status of soils and quality of underground water by collecting 120 underground irrigation water samples and 120 surface soil samples from cultivated fields of Chhotaudepur district.ThesisItem Open Access INTEGRATION OF BIOCHAR WITH CHEMICAL FERTILIZER FOR IMPROVING YIELD AND QUALITY OF TULSI (Ocimum sanctum L.)(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2021) Mr. PRAVEEN SINGH; Dr. B. B. BASAKA pot culture experiment on “Integration of biochar with chemical fertilizer for improving yield and quality of Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum L.)” was carried out in the net house, ICAR- DMAPR, Boriavi during kharif season of year 2020.ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) FOR THEIR RESPONSE AND NUTRIENT CONTENT TO IRON APPLICATION IN TYPIC USTOCHREPTS SOIL(DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Nagesh L. Chaudhari; Dr. K. C. PatelA pot study was conducted at net house of Micronutrient Research Scheme, AAU, Anand during rabi season of 2020-21 to study the “Evaluation of different varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for their response and nutrient content to iron application in Typic Ustochrepts soil. The treatments included of three wheat varieties like V1: Lok 1, V2: GW 366 and V3: HI 1544, four levels Fe application Fe0: Control, Fe1: 50 kg FeSO4 ha-1 , Fe2: 50 kg FeSO4 ha-1 + 0.5% FeSO4 at 30 & 60 DAS & Fe3: 0.5% FeSO4 at 30 & 60 DAS. The two different soils i.e. Fe deficient soil (S1) and Fe sufficient soil (S2) were taken under study. The rating of DTPA-Fe was considered as 5.0 mg kg-1 soil. The both soils under study was low in organic C, high available P2O5, K2O and DTPA-Zn. The experimental design was factorial complete randomized design (3 factors) and treatments repeated thrice. The ancillary observations like plant height at 30 DAS and harvest were taken in accordance with the crop growth in pots. At maturity stage, grain and straw weight were also recorded from each pot. The macro and micronutrients content were analyzed after harvest of wheat from soil and plant samples as per standard analytical techniques.ThesisItem Open Access CHARACTERIZATION OF SOILS AND UNDER GROUND WATER QUALITY OF VADODARA DISTRICT OF GUJARAT(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2021) Sojitra Chintan G.; Dr. M. B. ViradiyaAn attempt has been made in the present study to evaluate the physical and chemical properties and fertility status of soils and quality of underground (well/tube well) water by collecting 160 underground irrigation water samples and 160 surface soil samples from cultivated fields of Vadodara district.ThesisItem Open Access DYNAMICS OF BORON IN SOIL UNDER LONG TERM FERTILIZATION OF BORON IN GROUNDNUT CABBAGE CROPPING SYSTEM AND ITS RESIDUAL EFFECT ON TOMATO(Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2021) Suthar Bhavinkumar P.; Dr. Dileep KumarBoron fertilization is essential for increasing crop productivity, thus its dynamics and suitable soil application method for B fertilization is required. The present study entitled “Dynamics of boron in soil under long term fertilization of boron in groundnut-cabbage cropping system and its residual effect on tomato” was conducted at AAU, Anand.
