Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development.

    DEGRADATION OF PESTICIDES IN WHEAT DUE TO STORAGE AND PROCESSING
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2007) PRANOY PAL; DR. P.G. SHAH
    In order to study the effect of storage and processing on degradation of pesticides in wheat various in vitro experiments were carried out in the laboratory at All India Network Project on Pesticide Residues, ICAR Unit-9, Center for Organic Farming, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during October 2006 to March 2007. The grains free from pesticides were treated with known concentration of five pesticides viz. chlorpyrifos, fipronil, endosulfan, λ-cyhalothrin and deltamethrin to get initial expected deposit in the range of 5-10 ppm. The grains were stored for four months under known conditions and then processed to flour, chapattis and bread using commercial processing methods. The residue analysis of the grains (at monthly intervals) as well as the processed commodities was carried out using GLCECD.

    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2012) RAMESH GURJAR; Dr. J. C. Patel
    he field experiment was carried out on sandy loam soil at Agronomy farm, B. A. college of Agriculture, AAU, Anand, Gujarat during kharif season of 2011 to study the “Effect of phosphorus and sulphur on yield and quality of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] grown on Typic Ustochrept of Anand”. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with factorial concept, comprising sixteen treatment combinations of four levels of P (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P205 ha-1) and four levels of S (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg S ha-1) which were replicated four times. The results indicated that application of P @ 60 kg P205 ha-1 resulted in

    “EFFECT OF TYPE OF BIOCHAR ON GROWTH, DRY MATTER YIELD AND NUTRITION OF MAIZE (Zea mays L.) GROWN ON SANDY LOAM SOILS OF MIDDLE GUJARAT”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) NARESH KUMAR YADAV; Dr. P.C.Patel
    A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2011- 12 at Agricultural Research Station, Sansoli, Taluka – Mehamdabad, District – Kheda. The present investigation was undertaken to study on “Effect of type of biochar on growth, dry matter yield and nutrition of maize (Zea mays L.) grown on sandy loam soils of middle Gujarat” The field experiment was conducted with sixteen treatments, replicated thrice under randomized block design. For the experiment, three different biochars like maize stover biochar, cluster bean stover biochar and Prosopis julifera wood biochar were tested. The farm yard manure (FYM) treatments were also kept for comparison. The biochar and FYM both were applied @ 5 t and 10 t ha-1. The recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) (80-40-0 kg ha-1 N-P-K) was applied in eight treatments and remaining eight treatments comprised with biochar and FYM application. The full dose of P applied in the form of single super phosphate @ 40 kg ha-1 whereas N

    The field experiment was carried out on loamy sand soil of Agronomy farm, B. A. college of Agriculture, AAU, Anand, Gujarat during summer season of 2012 to study the “Effect of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Biofertilizer on yield, content and uptake of nutrients by summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.) In middle Gujarat.’’ The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with factorial concept, comprising eighteen treatment combinations of three levels of N (0, 10 and 20 kg N ha-1), three levels of S (0, 10 and 20 kg S ha-1) and two levels of biofertilizer (seed inoculation with and without Rhizobium) which were replicated three times. The results indicated that application of N @ 20 kg N ha
