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.

    EFFECT OF WAX COATING, DIFFERENT PACKAGING MATERIALS AND STORAGE CONDITIONS ON EXTENDING THE SHELF LIFE OF ACID LIME (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) CV. KAGZI
    (DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Rahul Balasaheb Kadu; Dr. M. J. Patel
    The present investigation entitled “Effect of wax coating, different packaging materials and storage conditions on extending the shelf life of acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) cv. Kagzi” was carried out at Horticultural Research Farm and Fruit Processing Centre, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2016 and 2017. Acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) is one of the most important citrus fruit as a major source of vitamin- C and acetic acid. Acid lime is a non-climacteric fruit, with storage life of six to eight days at ambient condition. Due to its perishability, there is always glut in market at peak supply period forcing the growers to do distressed selling. The storage of the fruits is the only remedy to prolong the marketing period, which will ultimately ensure the availability of the fruits to the consumers and optimum price to the growers. Extension of shelf life of fruits is possible by checking the rate of transpiration, respiration and microbial infection by several treatments like waxing, use of different packaging materials and storage structures. Keeping this view the experiment was conducted.

    (DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Thupten Tsomu; Dr. H.C.Patel
    The experiment was carried out during the spring and summer seasons of the year 2013-14 & 2014-15 at the Horticultural Reasearch Farm, Department of Horticulture, B.A. College of Agricuture, Anand Agriculture University, Anand to study the "EFFECT OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND MICRONUTRIENTS ON YIELD AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MANGO CV. MALLIKA GROWN UNFER THE MIDDLE GUJARAT AGRO CLIMATIC CONDITION". The experiment comprised of 15 treatment with different PGR's i.e. NAA 20 and 40 mg/1, GA3 25 and 50 mg/1 and micronutrients i.e. borax 0.2 and zinc sulphat 0.5% and control (water spray). Foliar spray of treatments was done at full bloom, pea and marble stages on 15 years old mango trees of cv. Mallika. Experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and repeated thrice.
