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.

    FUNGAL BIOFERTILIZERS FOR PREPARATION OF P AND K RICH ORGANIC MINERAL MANURES AND THEIR EFFICACY IN MAIZE
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL MICROBIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Solanki Jayvirsinh Pratapsinh; Dr. R. V. Vyas
    The nutrient pool and soil organisms are highly affected due to declining soil health. Reduction of fertilizer use efficiency is the reflection of injudicious use of agrochemicals for crop nutrition and protection, such activity lead to lower organic carbon content in soil. Restoration of soil health, lowering down chemical fertilizer requirement and enhancement of microbial activity was thought and attempted in present study using native plant growth promoting fungal isolates (PGPF). Fungal cultures were isolated from different AAU farms based on their abilities to solubilize P and K mineral forms. They were further screened for pathogenicity symptoms on seed germination and seedling growth parameters. Two non-pathogenic fungi were identified as isolate T-3, Aspergillus flavipes (NCBI Access No. MW88450) and T-17, Trichoderma aggressivum (NCBI Access No. MW88453).

    ISOLATION OF PINK PIGMENTED FACULTATIVE METHYLOTROPHS (PPFMs) FROM THE PHYLLOSPHERE OF SOLANACEOUS CROPS AND ITS EFFICACY ON TOMATO, BRINJAL AND CHILLI
    (B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2018) Solanki Jayvirsinh Pratapsinh; Dr. R. V. Vyas
    Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs (PPFMs) were isolated from the phyllosphere of solanaceous crops from Anand on NMS medium supplemented with methanol (1%) by leaf imprinting technique. The isolates were checked for survival on methanol 1 to 5%, 22 isolates were survived to 5% methanol and less, on the basis of enzymatic activity of isolates for methane degradation (Soluble methane monooxygenase and methanol dehydrogenase) five isolates were selected. Morphological, Biochemical and Molecular characterization through 16S rRNA sequencing was carried out for identification of selected isolates and all found to belonging genus Methylobacterium viz. Methylobacterium populi AAU PPFM C-7 (MH578621), Methylobacterium radiotolerans AAU PPFM C-17 (MH578622), M. populi AAU PPFM C-19 (MH578623), M. populi AAU PPFM T-2 (MH578624) and M. radiotolerans B-2 (MH586819).
