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.

    STATISTICAL MODELS FOR FORECASTING AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF MAJOR FRUIT CROPS IN GUJARAT – AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Siddharajsinh R. Raj; Dr. A. N. Khokhar
    The present study was carried out to estimate the trends of area, production and productivity of major fruit crops (Banana, Mango, Sapota, Gauva, and Citrus) and total fruit crops of Gujarat. The time series data on area, production and productivity of major fruit crops and total fruit crops for the period 1996-97 to 2015-16 were collected from the Directorate of Horticulture, Gujarat state, Gandhinagar. The data from 1996-97 to 2012-13 have been used for model fitting and remaining for testing the forecast.

    COMPARISON OF NON-PARAMETRIC METHODS FOR STABILITY ANALYSIS IN BLACK GRAM {Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper}
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Amipara Gauravkumar Jayantibhai; Dr. D. J. Parmar
    Pulses are important source of protein to meet the nutritional needs of people in the developing countries like India. India is the only country which grows a variety of pulse crops. Among the pulses, black gram or urd {Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper} is one of the most important crop of India, since it forms the basic ingredient of many food preparations.

    COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT ECONOMIC COEFFICIENTS TO SELECT OPTIMUM SELECTION INDEX IN RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.)
    (B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Arvindkumar P. Chaudhary; Dr. D. J. Parmar
    Comparison of different economic coefficients to select optimum selection index in rice (Oryza sativa L.) study was carried out by data collected from Main Rice Research Station (MRRS), Anand Agricultural University, Nawagam during kharif season of the year 2011. The experimental material comprised of set of 63 genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were grown in a randomized complete block design, with three replications. The observations were recorded for six characters i.e. grain yield per plant, plant height, panicle length, number of productive tillers per plant, 1000 grain weight and harvest index.

    PLOT SIZE STUDY THROUGH MATHEMATICAL APPROACH
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Sejal ben Muniya; Dr. V. B. Darji
    Plot size is a challenge among agricultural researchers in field experimentation. The problem in deciding optimum plot size frequently arises because variability of the experimental area is unknown which is main component of experimental error. The experimental error could be reduced by proper field plot techniques.

    MULTIVARIATE MODELS FOR ACREAGE RESPONSE TO MAJOR KHARIF CROPS OF MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2016) S. Ramapriya; Dr. P. R. Vaishnav
    The present study entitled “Multivariate models for acreage response to major kharif crops of middle Gujarat” provides an empirical investigation of acreage response to kharif crops viz. rice, maize and bajra of middle Gujarat. The study was carried out on the basis of secondary data covering the period of thirty two years (1981- 82 to 2012-13).

    PLOT TECHNIQUE IN BRINJAL (Solanum melongena L.)
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2011) Shri M. S. Shitap; Dr. V. B. Darji
    The most important factor having direct impact on the efficiency of the field experimentation is the plot size. Several workers have determined optimum plot size in many crops. But such information is not available with regard to brinjal crop grown in middle Gujarat condition. The present study, therefore, was undertaken to investigate optimum plot size as well as shape for field experimentation on brinjal crop at the Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2010-11. The information on fruit weight and fruit number of 630 plants

    COMPARISON OF SELECTION INDICES USING DIFFERENT WEIGHTS IN FORAGE SORGHUM [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) SATVINDER KOUR; Dr. J. S. Patel
    “Comparison of selection indices using different weights in forage Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.)” were studied using data collected from a set of forty genotypes of sorghum grown in randomized complete block design with three replications at Main Forage Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, during kharif 2011. The observations were recorded on plant height at 50 % flowering, number of tillers per plant, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf width and green fodder yield per plant.

    AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION ON AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY TREND OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum) CROP FOR DIFFERENT DISTRICTS IN MIDDLE GUJARAT REGION BY DIFFERENT STATISTICAL APPROACHES
    (AAU, Anand, 2014) LEIMAPOKPAM NETAJIT SINGH; Dr. V. B. Darji
    The present investigation was carried out to fit polynomials and ARIMA models to arrive at a methodology that can precisely explain the fluctuation in area, production and productivity for wheat crop in different district of middle Gujarat region and Gujarat state to compare different models. The error percentage for the selected model was also carried out to test the prediction power. The time series data on area, production and productivity of wheat crop for the period 1960-61 to 2010-11 were obtained from Directorate of Agriculture, Gujarat state, Gandhinagar. The data from year 1960-61 to 2006-07 were used for model fitting and remaining year for testing the forecast.
