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 LEGUME CROP RESIDUES AND NITROGEN MANAGEMENT ON PRODUCTIVITY OF MAIZE (Zea mays L.) IN LEGUME-MAIZE CROPPING SYSTEM UNDER MIDDLE GUJARAT CONDITIONS
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRONOMY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Monika Shukla; Dr. A. C. Sadhu
    A field experiment was conducted at College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India during summer-kharif seasons of years 2017 and 2018 to study the “Influence of legume crop residues and nitrogen management on productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) in legume-maize cropping system under middle Gujarat conditions”. The experimental field had an even topography with a gentle slope having good drainage and loamy sand in texture. The soil of the experimental field at 0-15 cm depth was low in organic carbon and available N, medium in available phosphorus and potassium and slightly alkaline in reaction. There were eighteen treatment combinations comprised of three legume crops grown in summer season; green gram (C1), groundnut (C2) and cluster bean (C3) designated as vertical strips, two residue management treatments viz., residue removal (R0) and residue incorporation (R1) as horizontal strips and three nitrogen levels in kharif maize viz., 100% RDN (N1), 75% RDN (N2) and 50% RDN (N3) designated to intersectional sub plot, tested in strip-split plot design. The whole treatment set was replicated four times.
