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.

    FITNESS COSTS OF Bt RESISTANCE IN Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner): IMPLICATION FOR REFUGEE STRATEGY IN Bt COTTON
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) S. Thangavel; Dr. C. K. Borad
    The present investigations on fitness costs of Bt resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) in Bt cotton was carried out at the laboratory of AINPVPM: Agricultural Ornithology, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat during 2018-2020. The Bt cotton fields of the Karjan region of the Vadodara district of Gujarat were visited frequently to collect the H. armigera larva. The survey was conducted to collect the population of Bt resistance H. armigera larvae from 105 cotton fields at weekly intervals during the year 2019-2020. During the survey total of 71 Bt resistance, H. armigera larvae were collected along with different plant parts (tender leaves, older leaves, squares, flowers, and bolls) on which they feeding and the maximum population of H. armigera larvae were collected from bolls (60.56%) and followed by tender leaves (16.90%), squares (14.08%), flowers (5.63%), and older leaves (2.82%) and other insect fauna includes five species of Lepidoptera, four species of Hemiptera and one species of Thysanoptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera and insects predators were also recorded, which includes two species of Coleoptera and one species of Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Mantodea and Arenae (non-insect predator) were also recorded.

    ORIENTATION RESPONSE OF Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) TO DIFFERENT HOST PLANT VOLATILES
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Shivam R. Padaliya; Dr. C. K. Borad
    Investigations on “Orientation response of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) to different host plant volatiles” were carried out at Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during 2020-21. The orientation response of H. armigera adults to volatiles of different host plants (marigold, tomato, chickpea and pigeonpea) was carried out using four-choice olfactometer. The highest attraction of both female and male moth of H. armigera was recorded towards marigold plant volatiles; it was 35.01 per cent for uncut twig and 42.32 per cent for cut twig in case of female moth as well as 36.72 per cent for uncut twig and 39.18 per cent for cut twig in case of male moth. The next higher response was observed to tomato plant volatiles. The GC-MS analysis was done to identification of host plant volatiles. Total eleven, ten, seventeen and ten plant volatiles were identified from marigold, tomato, pigeonpea and chickpea plant, respectively.

    SURVEY OF INSECT PESTS AND MANAGEMENT OF LEAF EATING CATERPILLAR, Noorda blitealis Walker IN DRUMSTICK, Moringa oleifera Lam.
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) SUTHAR MEERALBEN DINESHKUMAR; Dr. P. K. Borad
    The studies were carried out to survey various insect-pests and predatory fauna found on drumstick in middle Gujarat, to study population dynamics of various insect pests and predatory fauna of drumstick as well as to evaluate bio efficacy of biopesticides and synthetic insecticides against leaf eating caterpillar in drumstick. Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, leaf eating caterpillar, Noorda blitealis Walker, stink bug, Halyomorpha sp. and myllocerus weevil, Myllocerus sp. were found associated with drumstick, while surveying two major drumstick growing districts (Anand and Vadodara) of middle Gujarat during June, 2018 to May, 2019. In case of predatory fauna, spider and Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi (Esben – Petersen) were found during survey period on drumstick.

    PESTS SUCCESSION AND MANAGEMENT OF MAJOR INSECT PEST S IN FENNEL ( Foeni culum vulgare L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Shewale Chirag P.; Dr. P. K. Borad
    The present investigations on insect pests succession, effect of intercropping, varietal susceptibility, impact of sowing periods and methods, efficacy of biopesticides and chemical insecticides were made at Entomology farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi season of three consecutive years 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20. During the course of study, five different insect pests viz., thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood; cow bug, Oxyrachis spp., gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) Hardwick; aphid, Hyadaphis coriandri Das and seed midge, Systole albipenis Walker were recorded on fennel at various stages of the crop.

    DIAMIDE INSECTICIDES RESISTANCE IN DIAMONDBACK MOTH, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Chaudhari Janakkumar; Dr. C. K. Borad
    The research on the diamide insecticides resistance in diamondback moth was carried out at Ornithology Research Laboratory, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2017–2020. All three diamide insecticides registered for agricultural uses by central insecticide board, chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole and flubendiamide, were studied for resistance in diamondback moth under laboratory conditions. The studies baseline susceptibility, resistance monitoring, mode of inheritance, cross resistance, stability of diamide insecticides were made and strategies diamide insecticides resistance management were evaluated. The main findings of these investigations are presented here under.
