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.

AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    GENETICS OF FRUIT YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT TRAITS IN OKRA [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]
    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2021) Gediya Laljibhai Naranbhai; Dr. R. R. Acharya
    The present investigation was undertaken with a view to study the nature of gene action, ascertain the magnitude of heterosis, inbreeding depression, narrow sense heritability and components of heterosis for fruit yield and its component traits in okra. The experimental materials consisted of twelve generations, namely P1, P2, F1, F2, B1, B2, B11, B12, B21, B22, B1s and B2s of four crosses viz., Pusa Sawani x AOL 10-22, GAO 5 x AOL 13-144, GAO 5 x AOL 12-59 and GAO 5 x Kashi Kranti. Experiment was laid-out in compact family block design with three replications during summer 2020 at the Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The observations were recorded on twelve characters viz., days to flowering, days to first picking, plant height (cm), internodes on main stem, length of internode (cm), branches per plant, fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), fruit weight (g), fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant (g) and mucilage content (mg/g) on five random plants in each replication for P1, P2 and F1; ten plants for B1 and B2 and twenty plants for each of F2, B11, B12, B21, B22, B1s and B2s.
