Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. 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. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    ECOMOMIC THRESHOLD OF INSECTICIDAL SPRAYINGS AGAINST BOLLWORMS (Heliothis armigera (Hb.) and Earias spp.) ON HYBRID-4 COTTON AT ANAND. (Comparison of need-based and calendar-based treatments)
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) Mulchandani, Lachmandas Nassanand; Patel, H. K.
    In a split plot designed experiment carried out during the years 1977-78 and 1978-79 the three treatment levels (damage thresholds) of 10, 15 and 20 percent bollworm damage to fruiting bodies of selected size-group (from full grown squares to young bolls) were evaluated on calendar-based and need-based schedules for their effects on yield, number of undamaged bolls, bollworm damage to retained bolls and loculi, shedding of fruiting bodies, and earliness in maturity. The applications of carbaryl 0.25 percent + DDT 0.25 percent mixture at 10 and 15 percent treatment levels were found to be equally effective in giving a maximum yield of (good seed cotton) when they were continued on need basis (Average 3506 and 3117 kg/ha at 10 and 15 percent levels respectively) and weekly basis (Average 3852 and 3409 kg/ha at 10 and 15 percent levels respectively). Amongst three frequencies of application under fixed schedules, the weekly-based frequency of application was the best.

    STUDIES ON THE BIO-EFFICACY OF SOME INSECTICIDES AGAINST INSECT PESTS OF HYBRID-4 COTTON
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) KABARIA, BABU B.; Chari, M. S.
    To evaluate the bio-efficacy of some insecticides against insect pests of Hybrid-4 cotton, an experiment was conducted for two years during 1980-81 and 1981-82. The first trial was conducted during 1980-81 with the following treatments viz. Phenthoate-EC (Elsan, 50 EC, 1.625 l/ha), endosulfan (Thiodan, 35 EC, 1.5 l/ha), chlorpyriphos (Damisban, 20 EC, 1.25 l/ha), carbaryl (Sevin, 50 wp, 2 kg/ha), phenthoate-D (Elsan, 2% dust, 31 kg/ha), diazinon (Bazanon, 20 EC, 1 l/ha), monocrotophos (Nuvacron, 40 EC, 1.5 l/ha) and control (water spray only). Seven spraying were given at an interval of 15 days. The results on sucking insect pest complex showed that monocrotophos gave excellent protection to the crop from aphids, jassids and thrips.

    STUDIES ON THE BIOEFFICACY OF CYFLOXYLATE ON INSECT PESTS OF HYBRID-4 COTTON
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) SHERSIYA, R. A.; Chari, M. S.
    The bioeffficacy of cyfloxylate was tested during 1980-81 and 1981-82 against insect pests of Hybrid-4 cotton with special reference to bollworms viz., Earias spp. And Halipthis armigera (Hb.). The treatments tried under first experiment were, cyfloxylate (@ 20 g a,I./ha), cyfloxylate (@ 25 g a.I./ha), triflumuron (195 g a.i./ha), cyfloxylate + triflumuron (12.5 g + 130 g a.i./ha), methamidophos (1000 g a.i./ha), methamidophos + triflumuron (670 g + 130 g a.i./ha), cypermethrin (80 g a.i./ha), fevalerate (100 g a.i./ha), endosulfan (700 g a.i./ha) and control (water spary only). The sprayings were carried out at an interval of 15 days.

    LABORATORY AND FIELD EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT INSECTICIDES AGAINST TOBACCO STEM BORER (SCROBIPALPA HELIOPA LOWER) AND ITS GENERAL BIOLOGY ON RUSTICA TOBACCO (NICOTIANA RUSTICA LINNAEUS)
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) SORTHIA, B. K.; Chari, M. S.
    Tobacco stem borer, Scrobipalpa heliopa Low. Is an important pest of rustica, bidi and virginia tobacco grown in India. The studies on the life history of stem borer indicated that a single female moth lays on an average 78 eggs. The eggs hatch in about 5-10 days with an average of 7.21 days. The temperature of 30°C was the best for the lowest incubation period and highest percent age of hatching. The relative humidity between 60 to 70 per cent at a constant temperature of 25°, 27° and 30°C was most congenial. The average duration of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth instar was 4.23, 4.72, 5.18, 4.31 and 4.94 days respectively. The total larval duration varied from 18 to 30 days with an average of 23.33 days.

    BIONOMICS AND PROPHYLACTIC CONTROL MEASURES OF POWDER - POST BEETLE DINODERUS MINUTUS, FABRICIUS (BOSTRICHIDAE : COLEOPTERA)
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) DODIA, DILIPKUMAR A.; Patel, N. G.
    Power-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus, Fabr.) has become a serious pest of rice. The egg period in this pest species was 4.0 to 7.0 days with an average of 5.27 days. The hatching percentage was 67.33% at 32.43 ± 0.29°C. The larval period varied from 52 to 78 days with an average of 61.16 days at 27.71 ± 0.34°C. Most of the larvae moulted seven times, but some moulted eight times. The pre-pupal period was invariably only one day. The pupal period varied from 3 to 5 days with an average of 4.16 days. The egg laying capacity of the beetle varied from 3 to 13 with an average of 9.6 eggs within 24 hr. Both the larvae and the adults caused damage to the rice grain near its germ portion and rendered it useless for human consumption. Rice flour along with the frass was found to be collected at the bottom of the container in the laboratory. At times few grains were found to be adhered each other in the salivary secretion of the insect.

    BIOLOGY AND CONTROL MEASURES OF CITRUS PSYLLA, DIAPHORINA CITRl KUWAYAMA (PSYLLIDAE ; HOMOPTERA) ON KAGZI LIME, CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA SWINGLE
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) VAZE, GIRISH M.; Patel, R. C.
    Laboratory as well as field studies were undertaken to study the biology and eontrol measures of citrus psylla, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama on kagzi lime. Observations were made on duration of egg, nymphal and adult stages and also on fecundity at varying room temperatures as well as under field conditions. It was observed that with the increase in temperature, the durations of egg and nymphal stages and adult longevity and fecundity were reduced. There were three peaks in nymphal population during the year, during the months February-March, July-August and November-December. Pest Population reached upto 18.10 nymphs/twig during the last week of february, 1979. Monocrotophos 0.04% and quinalphos 0.05% may be recommended for quick control of citrus psylla in seasonal outbreaks while dimethoate 0.03%, phosalone 0.035% and malathion 0.05% are suitable insecticides to spray with yearly pestioidal schedule to control this pest.
