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.

    INFLUENCE OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS LEVELS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF HIGH YIELDING DWARF VARIETIES OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1982) AMIN, ANILKUMAR U.; Damor, U. M.
    With an objective to study the performance of dsarf wheat varieties (F. aestivum L.) to various levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, an investigation was carried out at the Agronomy Farm of B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand during rabi season on the year 1981-82. Twenty four treatment combinations involving two varieties viz., Lok-1 and Sonalike, four levels of nitrogen (0, 60, 120, 180 kg/ha) and three levels of phosphorus (0, 60 and 120 kg/ha) were laid in split plot design with four replications.

    EFFECT OF MULCHES AND REFLECTANT ON THE YIELD AND QUALITY OF MUSTARD (BRASSICA JUNCEA (L) (COZERN & COSS) VARIETY VARUNA UNDER LIMITED IRRIGATION
    (AAU, Anand, 1981) VEGADA, DINESHCHANDRA ALJIBHAI; DAMOR, U. M.
    Mustard (Brassica juncea (L) Cozern & Coss) is one of the oilseed crops of India. It is an irrigated crop in Gujarat. Since water requirement of mustard is low, whereas out of all the essential nutrients nitrogen is of supreme importance. With a view to have insight on the optimum irrigation intervals coupled with mulches and reflectants levels for mustard variety ‘Varuna’, the present study was concluded. A field experiment was laid out at B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand during rabi season 1979-80. The treatments included in this study considered of two levels of irrigation viz. Irrigation of an interval of 25 days (I1) and 45 days (I2) and mulched treatments, three levels of mulches (Control, M1), wheat chopped straw (M2), interculturing (M3) and three levels of Kaolin Control (K1), one spray of kaolin (K2) and two spray of kaolin (K3).

    EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SPACINGS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF GROWTH RETARDANT (CCC) ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea Linn.) VARIETY GG-2
    (AAU, Anand, 1985) PANSURIA, N. G.; Patel, L. R.
    A field investigation was conducted at the College Farm of Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand on sandy loam soil during Kharif season of the year 1984 to study the effect of different row spacings and concentrations of growth retardant (CCC) on yield and quality of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea Linn.) variety GG-2. Fifteen treatments comprised of all possible combinations of three levels of spacings viz. 20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm and five concentration of cycocel viz. 0 ppm (control), 250 ppm, 500 ppm, 750 ppm and 1000 ppm were included in this study. Different levels of spacings were laid out in main plots and those of cycocel in sub-plots in split plot design with four replications.

    INFLUENCE OF TIME OF NITROGEN APPLICATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TWO HIGH YIELDING WHEAT (Triticum aestivum, L.) VARIETIES VIZ., LOK-1 AND SONALIKA
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) PATEL, JAGDISH; Damor, U. M.
    To attain higher production of wheat crop, besides other agronomical practices, high yielding varieties and time of nitrogen application are of prime importance. With a view to findout optimum time of nitrogen application for two high yielding Wheat varieties, a field experiment was conducted at College Farm of B.A. College of Agriculture, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during rabi season of 1980-81.

    EFFECT OF VARIOUS COMPLEX FERTILIZERS & ZINC LEVELS ON YIELD OF HIGH YIELDING VARIETIES OF GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA, L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) Patel, Shantilal K.; Patel, B. A.
    Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea, L.) is one of the important oil seed crops of India, especially of Gujarat, and it is now introduced as a summer crop in irrigated areas. The experiment with four replications was conducted on loamy sandy soil of Anand, in the Factorial Randomized Block Design, with a view to see the possibility of growing groundnut in Middle Gujarat as a summer crop. Three different high yielding varieties, three various sources of complex fertilizers and two levels of zinc were tried.

    Rustica tobacco (Nicotiana rustica (L.) is one of the important non-food cash crops in India. The adoption of different sources of nitrogen with their split application at different growth stages, we can economise cost of fertilizer and get effective and economical fertilizer application schedule for rustica tobacco under the soil and climatic condition of middle Gujarat. Considering this aspect, an experiment was conducted at the Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Agronomy, Farm, Gujarat Agricultural University, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand Campus, Anand, with a view to find out the most effective and economical fertilizer application schedule for Rustica-9 during 1981-82.

    EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS LEVELS ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF CERTAIN VARIETIES OF MUSTARD (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.).
    (AAU, Anand, 1983) PATEL, JAGDISH C.; PATEL, N. R.
    Mustard (Brassica juneca (L.) Czern & Coss.) is one of the important oil seed crops in India. The adoption of high yielding varieties and judicious use of balanced fertilizers play an important role in increasing seed yield per hectare and oil content of mustard crop. Considering this aspect, an experiment was conducted at the College Agronomy Farm, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand with a view to find out the option dose of nitrogen and phosphorus with a suitable variety for higher seed yield with good quality of mustard during the year 1981-82.
