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.

    POPULATION DYNAMICS, AVOIDABLE LOSSES AND MANAGEMENT OF PINK STEM BORER, Sesamia inferens WALKER INFESTING durum WHEAT
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Timbadiya Brazilkumar G.; Dr. D. B. Sisodiya
    Investigations on population dynamics, avoidable losses, varietal screening of pink stem borer, S. inferens infesting durum wheat and evaluation of different insecticides against S. inferens through spraying, seed treatment and soil application were carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Arnej during November, 2017 to February, 2018. The activity of pink stem borer larva(e) was started from 3rd week of December i.e., 51st SMW (2 larvae/10 damaged tillers) and fluctuated during crop period. During the 2nd week of January, 2018 (2nd SMW), it showed its peak by recording 27 larvae/ 10 damaged tillers. The pupa(e) of pink stem borer was observed from 4th week of December i.e., 52nd SMW (1 pupa/10 damaged tillers) and fluctuated during crop period. During the 2nd week of January, 2018 (2nd SMW), it showed its peak by recording 5 pupae/ 10 damaged tillers. The incidence of pink stem borer in wheat commenced from 3rd week to December i.e., 51st SMW (0.59%) and fluctuated during crop period. During 4th week of January, 2018 (4th SMW), it showed its peak by recording 15.26 per cent dead heart.

    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Nikunj K. Patel; Nikunj K. Patel
    Aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) population showed two peaks, first at 3rd week of January (3rd Standard Meteorological Week-SMW) and second at 1st week of February (5th SMW) during rabi, 2017-18 with significantly positive association with MaxT (r=0.61*) and BSS (r=0.70*) but it has significantly negative association with WS (r=-0.61*). Population of jassids (Amrasca biguttula biguttula Ishida) attained peaks at 3rd week of January during rabi, 2017-18. The thrips (Thrips palmi Karny) also showed only one peak i.e. during 4th week of January (4th SMW) during rabi, 2017-18. Jassid and thrips showed non significant association with abiotic factors. Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) population showed two peaks i.e. first at 3rd week of January (3rd SMW) and 2nd at 1st week of February (5th SMW) during rabi, 2017-18 with significantly positive impact of BSS (r=0.61*). Larval population of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) Hardwick showed two peaks, first during 3rd week of January (3rd SMW) and second at 1st week of February (5th SMW) during rabi, 2017- 18 with significantly positive impact of BSS (r=0.63*). The higher activity of universal predator, spiders and coccinellids (grubs+adults) was observed during 3rd week of January (3rd SMW) and declined with crop maturity and disappeared from 8th week of February (8th SMW).

    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Mohapatra Atul R.; Dr. R. K. Thumar
    Investigations on “Population dynamics and management of hopper, Amritodus atkinsoni Lethierry infesting mango” were carried out at Horticulture Farm, BACA, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during 2018. Eight different biopesticides viz., neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) 5 per cent, neem oil 0.5 per cent, neem leaf extract (NLE) 10 per cent, garlic bulb extract (GBE) 5 per cent, ginger rhizome extract (GRE) 5 per cent, Lecanicillium lecanii 1.15 % WP, Beauveria bassiana 5 % WP, Metarhizium anisopliae 1.15 % WP and eight insecticides viz., thiamethoxam 12.6 % + lambda-cyhalothrin 9.5 % ZC, thiamethoxam 25 WG, deltamethrin 1 % + triazophos 35 % EC, buprofezin 25 SC, acephate 50 % + imidacloprid 1.8 % SP, buprofezin 15 % + acephate 35 % WP, acetamiprid 20 SP and sulfoxaflor 21.8 SC were evaluated.

    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Bhagora Jitendrakumar; Dr. R. M. PATEL
    The population of aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch) commenced during 4th week of October and persisted till fourth week of January which ranged from 3.45 to 45.92 aphids per three shoots of 10 cm. The higher activity of this pest was observed during 1st week of January. Population of jassid (Empoasca kerri Pruthi) was appeared during fourth week of October and persisted till 4th week of January which varied from 0.73 to 7.11 jassids per three leaves. On initiation, pest showed decreasing trend and reached to its lowest level i.e. 0.73 jassids per three leaves. The peak population of jassid (7.11 jassids/3 leaves) was observed during fourth week of December. The incidence of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci Genn) was started from fourth week of October and remained up to fourth week of January with peak (5.13/3 leaves) during fourth week of December. The population of pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner) infesting Indian bean commenced from fifth week of October (0.87 larva/plant) and remained till fourth week of January.

    Investigations were carried out at Department of Entomology, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand during 2018-19 in order to study the comparative biology of pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius), biopesticidal management and varietal susceptibility in chickpea during storage under laboratory conditions. The hosts used for comparative biology study were cowpea, chickpea and green gram. The biopesticides evaluated were Beauveria bassiana WP, B. bassiana oil, Metarhizium anisopliae WP, M. anisopliae oil, Lecanicillium lecanii WP, L. lecanii oil, Bacillus thuringiensis WP and B. thuringiensis oil. Different varieties / genotypes viz., GAG-1423, GAG-1425, Dahod Yellow, GG-1, GG-2, GG- 5, GJG-3, GJG-3, KAK-2 and JGK-1 were screened for their susceptibility to C. maculatus.

    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Channabasava; Dr. P. K. Borad
    The activity of termite commenced from 2nd week of August [32nd standard meteorological week (SMW)] and continued till 4th week of December (51st SMW). During 2nd to 4th week of August (32nd to 34th SMW), the termite activity was found negligible (2.8 to 7.2 termites/stick/week) in the field, when crop age was four weeks. The termite activity was found 12.6 to 28/stick during September (35th to 39th SMW). The population continuously increased every week. Similarly, it was between 28.6 and 50.2 per stick in October (40th to 43rd SMW). The peak incidence was noticed during the end of November (47th SMW). The pest activity was found higher in cotton field during first week of October (40th SMW) to the last week of November (47th SMW). The activity of this pest was started to decreasing from 1st week of December.
