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.

    RESPONSE OF CHICORY (Cichorium intybus L.) TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF NITROGEN, PHOSPHORUS, POTASH AND FYM UNDER MIDDLE GUJARAT CONDITIONS
    (AAU, Anand, 1989) PATEL, BABUBHAI S.; Barevadia, T. N.
    An experiment was conducted at the College Agronomy Farm of Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during the rabi season of the year 1987-88, The soil of the experimental area was loamy sand having organic matter 0.73 per cent, total nitrogen 0.038 per cent, available phosphorus 43.5 kg/ha and available potash 262.0 kg/ha in the 0-15 cm soil layer. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with four replications. In all, 16 treatment combinations consisting of two levels each of farm yard manure (0 and 25 tonnes/ha), nitrogen (50 and 100 kg/ha), Phosphorus (0 and 50 kg/ha) and potash (0 and 50 kg/ha) were tried on chicory. The crop was sown on 20th November 1987 and was harvested on 19th April 1988. Farm yard manure was applied as per the treatments at time, of preparation of land. While 50 per cent of the total nitrogen and entire quantities of phosphorus and potash were applied as per the respective treatments before sowing in the form of urea, single super phosphate and muriate of potash, respectively. The remaining quantity of nitrogen was applied in the form of urea about 45 days after sowing of the crop. The results obtained for different aspects studied during the course of investigation revealed the following. The application of 25 tonnes FYM/ha gave 3.46 per cent higher yield of dry roots than no application of FYM. The same treatment also gave significantly higher plant population (initial and at harvest time), root volume and fresh roots yield/ha than no application of FYM. The application of 25 tonnes FYM/ha significantly increased the N, P and K contents as well as their removal by roots and leaves except N uptake by leaves as compared to no application of FYM. Nitrogen application at 100 kg/ha gave 3.70 per cent higher yield of dry roots than that of 50 kg N/ha. Similar trend was also observed for root volume, root girth at top, green as well as dry leaves and,fresh as well as dry root weight/plant and fresh roots yield/ha with application of 100 kg N/ha. The application of 100 kg N/ha recorded significantly higher N content of roots and leaves; P content of leaves as well as N and P uptake by roots and leaves as compared to 50 kg N/ha. The application of 50 kg P2O5 gave significantly higher plant height, P contents as well as uptake by roots and leaves than that of no application of phosphorus. The application of 50 kg K2O /ha gave 2.76 per cent higher yield of dry roots as compared to no application of phosphorus. The same treatment also gave significantly higher root girth at tip, K contents as well as uptake by roots and leaves than that of no application of potash. The results further revealed that the treatment combination F25N50P0K50 was superior to the rest of the treatment combinations from yield (9.53 tonnes/ha) and economic (GBR 1:2.74) view point. Considering the productivity and net realization, application of nitrogen and potash each at 50 kg/ha along with FYM at the rate of 25 tonnes/ha found optimum for chicory crop under charotar tract of the middle Gujarat conditions. .Chicory crop did not respond to phosphorus application.

    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.
