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.

    BIO-INTENSIVE INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN SUMMER GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Priya Kantha J. L.; Dr. G. G. Patel
    The present investigation entitled “Bio-intensive integrated nutrient management in summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L)” was carried out at the College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during 2018. The soil of experimental plot was loamy sand in texture. It was low in organic carbon (0.29 %) and available nitrogen (243 kg ha-1), while medium in available phosphorous (30.56 kg ha-1) and potash (275 kg ha-1) with pH 7.84 and EC value 0.32 dS m-1. The experiment comprised of nine treatments and was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. The details of nine treatments are as follows, T1 [50 % Recommended dose of fertilizer (i.e., 12.5 - 25 - 0 kg NPK ha-1)], T2 [100 % Recommended dose of fertilizer (i.e., 25 - 50 - 0 kg NPK ha-1)], T3 [Rhizobium based NPK consortium seed treatment (5 mL kg-1 seed)], T4 [Rhizobium based NPK consortium soil drenching (1 L ha-1)], T5 [T3+ T4], T6 [50% RDF + T3], T7 [50% RDF + T4], T8 [50% RDF + T5] and T9 [Absolute control].
