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.

    HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDIES IN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.) USING LINE × TESTER ANALYSIS
    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand –, 2020) Ujjaval Navinbhai Patel; Dr. D. A. Patel
    The present investigation entitled “Heterosis and combining ability studies in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) using Line × Tester analysis” was undertaken to generate information on magnitude of heterosis of hybrids over their better parent and standard check, gene effects of various characters, general combining ability effects of parents and specific combining ability effects of all hybrids for green fruit yield and its component characters including its quality trait. The experimental material comprising of six females including one cytoplasmic male sterile line were crossed with eight male parents of chilli in Line × Tester mating design. The resulting 48 hybrids were grown along with 14 parents and 1 standard check hybrid GAVCH – 1 in randomized complete block design (RBD) with three replications at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif-rabi 2019-20. The observations were recorded for fifteen characters including green fruit yield per plant, its contributing characters and quality traits.
