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.

    SOLAR RADIATION, PHOTOSYNTHETICALLY ACTIVE RADIATION AND THERMAL TIME RELATIONSHIP WITH CROP GROWTH IN SUMMER GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) GAJJAR, R. B.; Shekh, A. M.
    A field experiment with two dates of sowing (D1-2nd January and D2 - 5th February), two varieties (V1- Robut 3 and V2- GAUG-2) and three irrigation levels (I1- irrigatic at 10 days interval, I2-irrigation at 15 days interval a I3-when Tc-Ta = ± 0.5°C) was conducted during the summer season of the year 1989 with objectives of (i) determining the relationship between solar radiation, PAR, LAI, DM and days after sowing in groundnut crop, (ii) relating the PAR attenuation to dry matter production and (iii) studying tin phenological behaviour and thermal requirement of groundnu cultivars with two dates of sowing. The study revealed that pod yields and fodder yield were at par with plots irrigated at 10 days interval and when Tc-Ta = ± 0.5°C. Both the cultivars yielded higher po yield when planted on 5th February. However, cv. Robut 33- had higher pod yield than GAUG-2.LAI and DM increased wit days after sowing at a linear rate^ The mean air temperature of 25.5°C during the flowering initiation in both the cultivars during both the plantings seems to have favoured higher pod and fodder yleids. Flowering began from 4 to 5 weeks after planting. Nine to ten hours of photoperiod at the time of peg Initiation was observed for both planting dates of cultlvars.
